Clear instructions well done video. Thanks for posting. I am building a non load bearing wall with a door in my garage to separate my micro workshop from the area were we park vehicles. I had questions about the dimensions to rough frame the door opening. This was perfect.

Great info sr thanks just working on my interior walls and doors without any experience so videos like yours are saving me 😂👍👍👍

Thanks for the video..
This is unrelated ..but you have a good voice for a DJ or an

Excellent. Cuts out all the unnecessary commentary, weak attempts at humor, and floof. You're a good teacher. Nicely done.

This is actually a useful video, to hear the dimension calculations, worrying about the flooring, the process and the finished result. Thanks for making it. However, I would say that it would be better if you used the proper terminology for all the parts of the framing, You mentioned some, bottom plate and header. The other important terms are king stud - the full length 2x4's. Trim (jack) stud - the side 2x4's that support the header. Cripple studs - the short studs above the header. And finally, the top plate. Using the proper carpenter terms is just a good thing to do to help spread the knowledge effectively through time to others.

Great video! Would all these rules apply for double doors and for exterior doors on a metal building?

[shaffer]

Very nice video! Can a door be placed any distance from the corner or does it have to be 16” away?

Menards is cheaper on EVERYTHING before the mail in rebates.

Except for insulation

The non-loadbearing wall I'm putting my door in was built on top of pre-existing hardwood floor. Would I still frame an extra 2 inches in height?

If I build my rough opening for a basement door non bearing, and take my time, get everything perfectly square, Plum and level, why the need for so much space between jamb and rough opening?

[jkhunnicutt]

If I'm putting in a door frame in an existing finished hallway (non-lode-bearing), do I need a bottom plate? If so, how since the drywall is already there? Thanks!

Had to pause at 3:26 and share a memory of a job where the homeowner walked up to me with a bar of soap and insisted she stand between myself and my box of screws so she could rub soap on each screw prior to me using it.
Ivory soap, I’ll never forget it.
Her husband explained a few things to me and with a tear in his eye told me she had dementia and long story short asked me to basically babysit her.
Wasn’t a big deal and honestly felt more like a mission from the lord than anything.

Glad you sparked that memory sir

Unusual- Straight forward, to the point and just what I wanted to hear . Thanks

[teedtad]

Good tips! What about door framing ( build to suit!? ⭐⭐📀📀

[arturoaguilar]

Just what I was looking for so I can continue my walls that have door openings for actual interior doors and closet’s, you make it look pretty simple thank you

[TheExcellentLaborer]

Im building a whole house and doing all the labor. Im going to be building an exterior wall with a door today. Nice vid!

[ronaho]

I’m a union tinnier make sure you vent the furnace for combustion air I only see one pipe, also make sure the return is ducted to larger room, that way you won’t be taking air away from furnace, also great vidio for framing I’m adding a door and didn’t know what size to make.ps ac/dc rocks.
