This video is really good. I'm remodeling a rental property and replaced 3 bedroom doors. The painter said he could hang the doors but after 3 attempts (and many nail holes/frame damage) I had the young man watch the video with me and we hung the door together. We both learned how to do it and door looks great.
I taught him how to educate himself when he doesn't know what the hell he is doing 😂 and you taught him to hang doors. Thanks!

Excellent tutorial. All the very important parts explained very simple and easy. Probably the best door video installation I’ve seen.

[bassfan]

it all makes sense after you set a few hundred of them. nice job!

Great job, Hunter Carlson! If I had only watched your video 8 door installations ago. The good thing is that I still have six more installations to go and I will definitely use your method!

This is the best video I've seen on a pre-hung door, thank you. Awsome method

I really enjoyed this video. I am a retired trim carpenter from Texas. I think that you did a really nice job. I just have 1 comment that you might find useful. When you're hanging the pre-hung unit. After you've gone through setting the hinge side and the header, before nailing off the strike side. Take a 1-3/4 paddle bit slide the shaft between the hinges and gently close the door " not all the way but just enough to slightly bend the hing." Do this to each hing this will help to establish the margin on the hing side of the door. You might also use your pencil for this as well. Thank you

Great video.
I had three solid core doors to install on a remodel this weekend.
Since it was ten years since I last installed an interior door, I hit YouTube for a refresher.
Came across your video....wonderful.
I was taught to hang the door while shimming to level in both directions.
I was taught wrong, and hanging doors was intimidating.

This weekend, they went up so easy and smooth with minimal issues.
Thank you.
Dave

Best video of how to install a door. Respect to you

[skipmcgrath]

This is a great video, especially if you watch the 5 minute version first. Allot of new guys watch an old pro do something and have no idea how much focus and concentration is involved. The two videos together are great training material for beginners.

[normanperdomo]

You r the Best I always see your videos thanks for the share you knows

[RaulGarcia-iiqq]

Excellent explanation thank you and God bless you

Good joiner work
From a fellow joiner in the uk 👍🏻
What I usually do though is I make the architrave up as complete sets using mitre bond then pin them on
