Thank you for the advice. I successfully installed my first door ever. It took me longer than expected but thanks to this video I managed nicely. 👍😉😎💯👍

Here’s little tip for fitting a door into an existing frame that I picked up off a family member. If you are using the existing hinge / latch screw holes in the frame and they feel a bit loose, grab yourself some bbq skewers or cocktail picks and dip them in some wood glue and knock them into the holes and trim flush. Works well for me in most situations 👍🏻

Thank you mate very detailed and good presentation. I am going to attempt to change my house internal 8 doors this summer. Your video is very knowledgeable and I need to watch this many time may be 20 or 40 time to get the confidence to give me the start.

Apologies you might already have mentioned this in the description but would be great to know what tools and the names of the tools you using as I am new in this game. I don’t want my wife making me football and yelling what the mess I have created.

Cheers l and once again thanks for the detailed explanation.

I'll give you the best tip of all, get a joiner in to do it. Save you a lot of time money and heartache 😂😂

Thank you was amazing to see how easy it was to take off the stops. I want to turn the door so it opens the other way but was deterred from taking the stops off - but now I will. thank you.

Amazing timing! Was out last night surveying a client's rental that they want to refurb. Replacing doors all round was one aspect. Never done it till now (am part time in this gig at best). Confident that I could get it done now. Thanks! 😎

Thanks for this great video. I've hung a few doors in my 52 years and there was a few things i didn't know. Good job and love your videos.

Always interesting to see how people do it so differently to how I was taught to hang a door. I would start by putting a leading edge on the door and only plane down the latch side.

The air bags are a game changer too, one of the best tools a second fix carpenter can have.

[hawknottopgun]

The air bags are such a solid tip, makes solo-ing a job like this a lot easier

[rodgerq]

Another great video. I think on those door handles with the slit in the square bar, the slit goes vertical so that the grub screw drives into it, spreading the bar and making it grip the inside of handle. I think!

[tempestdesert]

fantastic explanation... I come from another country but I bought a house in UK(beautiful country), after your video I changed the first door in the house myself... it was almost perfect...thank you

[Alan-dbmq]

Your videos and walk through step by step guides are top notch. A real help for a DIY novice like myself

[markevans]

Thanks for this Cameron. Out of all of videos that you’ve put out I probably found this one the most useful. I’ll definitely be referring back to it in the future. Thank you!

[humza]

Thanks a lot mate. Followed your video and was able to hang my daughters door.

[trevorlintott]

Wish I'd seen them WIND BAGS 15 years ago..chisel, screwdrivers, packers all over the show.

[Mclaneinc]

I hate doors (hanging them, I mean) so this was a great load of help Cameron. Loved the detail and the little funky tools. Nice one as usual. As for other chippy stuff, building frames for work tops would be nice, maybe with drawers to maximise the cupboard space, I never know what is the best way....Just a thought....Yet again, top vid young

[Heptode]

Excellent video with a good clear set of instructions and simple steps to follow. Thanks.

[elpresidente]

Excellent video and just at the right time as I'm going to be fitting 11 doors in a few weeks with rose style handles so this video was the perfect one for me. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
