Hate roast dinners almost as much as I dislike hanging doors. Do it exactly the same way. Very clear instruction as always.

Roast dinner. Nice to see that you had a similar issue as i normally have putting new doors into out of square frames. I have yet to come across a head thats level! Unless its one ive done lol. Mostly i find the head is 10 to 15mm out of level! Thats typical to what i find in older houses. And of course if its a fire door going in the hole then theres another issue! It would be nice to see how you get round that problem and your technique for scribing the stiles to the legs of the frame. I tend to (just my way of trying to do it which they dont teach in college) is from the other side of the door, put a door hook over the top and clip it to the top of the arc on the other side leaving the door proud of the stops but just touching the frame so you can get a 3mm packer and your pencil in and scribe a line up and down the (inside) of the stiles and across the head this will give you a line to plane/cut. Dont cut right upto the line just shy of it then you can tinker with it as you wish. Always sounds simple hanging a door but it can be a right pain especially the doors like your putting in as the vertical lines can exaggerate the out of plumb lines. If it looks right it is right which is not necessarily plumb and square! Every door is a learning curve! I spoke to another joiner and he said he just takes the arcs off and adjusts the lining to fit the door....rather than door to lining. No right and wrong way just your own way that works. Great video keep it up. Thank you.

Roast dinner…… nice fit !! Great explanation. I personally like to fit a pair and a half hinges to oak, especially when the old frame still has the cut out, but each to their own.

Roast dinner. Excellent tutorial mate. Got to be honest I always hated hanging fully finished doors, never saw the point in them myself as you still have to finish the cu5 edges but also match the finish, but maybe I’m just tight 😂!!

Roast dinner excellent explanation on door hanging especially with a out of square frame. Thank you we appreciate your help.

Nifty freehand router skills. Roast dinner sounds good. I've got a pork shoulder in the oven as we speak. I use a shop made jig - takes a bit longer to set up, but is much cheaper than those posh XL doors.

Roast dinner, nice little video, good detail. Was wondering if you could do a video fitting a bathroom sash lock sometime

Great thorough vid. You've made me feel more confident about hanging doors and making a roast dinner. Thank you. 2 Questions:
1. all the other vids I watched recommended using a self-centering drill bit for drilling hinge holes. I'm interested in your thoughts about these vs. your method of drilling off-center towards butted side of hinge.
2. I am working with a pre-made custom door with the hinges already attached from previous placements. They are different than the current hinge placements. So I need to router out places for the new hinges. Any tricks for getting the depth set on the router to make the door centered left to right? Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

[crouchvalewoodcraft]

Roast dinner, really good explanation. Could have done with this a few months ago 😂😂

[markhannan]

Roast dinner Great video that’s exactly how I do them . A lot of doors I fit in Yorkshire have door casings so can sometimes be a bit more difficult as the rebate can sometimes be way out so I nail a piece of doorstop on for a good fit . I’m getting on a bit so takes me a bit longer these days lol

[warrencash]

Roast dinner another great no nonsense tutorial mate 👍

[mathutchings]

Also saw marks still in the latch side? Also another tip use 3 inch latches puts the handle central of the style looks way better 😊

Roast Dinner, Why wasn't the door placed on the opposite side, against the wall?
