In this final episode ill be showing you all how i built and installed this modern door.
I purchased the door itself locally as i was unable to build my own door due to local code restrictions here on Vancouver Island. I also picked up the rest of the door parts from my local door supplier for a fraction of the cost of a complete door.

The door was made from fir as was the center mull post. The frame was red oak and the cill was made from aluminum.

This is the season finale of the modern entryway series but don't get too worried. This is literally just the begging for Rad Dad Builds. I have a whole bunch of awesome home improvement, DIY, furniture, and woodwork single projects and series coming out every Friday.

A little tip for choosing the right length screws or nails . Multiply whatever your nailing/screwing by 1.5 that is the proper length . Not specifically for you but just a tip I learned from this old house .

Solid work, I'd love to see how you made the door.

This is the best video I have seen on YouTube for constructing and installing an exterior door frame. I’ve been searching like crazy for exactly this and there’s doesn’t seem to be any other good videos showing how to build the actual door frame. Excellent video.

i know im growing up because this is satisfying every sec of this video

[sengv]

Love your style in interior designing. Great inspiration

[RiverValleyAcres]

The beginning of the video had me so hype I was ready to build my own damn door lol

[robottrainer]

great video, I would recommend treating your wood with saltine solution for mold and termite prevention 20-30 years later.

Another tool that helps me with heavy door installation is The Door Stud.

I got so tired of working with shims that I bought a Jamb Master . . . such a dream for door installation - especially with multiple, equal-sized doors.

Tips: You can hide some screws under the hinge for a cleaner look

One small thing I could see being a huge problem.

Leaving the barcode on the doorbell?
The one you need to link the device to your phone?

What's to stop someone from popping the cover and scanning the code again to link THEMSELVES in?

[brightlightabove]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful work and thorough explanation. Well done, sir.

Nice look and nice door. I see one issue with this type of door. The lock side of the door is a weak place since you have a window next to it. That type of door would look good in a place where they are no criminals loose in nature. I would suggest that you remake that door, but make one with security in mind where no one will be able to bust the door open by force.

you don't need a 4th hinge i have hung the heaviest solid oak doors with just 3 heavy duty hinges [good quality] and never had a call back in 40 years size of screws you use is more important than and extra hinge just remember if your a dyi guy only worry about fitting 2 hinges to begin with just cut and fit the top and bottom hinges get it hung make sure it has an equal space and opens and closes good then fit the 3rd hinge trying to line up 3 hinges a once will wreck your whole day use a level and a square those one and a quarter inch screws in the hinges are too small should have bumped them up to something beefier and another thing to be careful of is silicone in some cases if used to install sealed glass units you can void the warranty as the acid in the silicone can eat the seals in the glass double glaze. butyl tape might be a better alternative and also remember nothing sticks to silicone except silicone so don't get it anywhere you want to paint or glue or well any thing

[kipcarbone]

great work! All while watching your son! Do you have a video on how you made the door?

[mariojhorge]

Great job, well done. Any video of how you made this door? cheers
