Thanks for the simplicity. Screws, not nail guns, hing side 1st. Addressing the reveal. You just made my day before hanging 5 doors!

[bobsutube]

Just the one tip about putting shims under the jams alone was worth my time to watch this. Thanks so much. About to dig in

[erikacummins]

This was the best video I've watched on how to put in a door. I actually know nothing when it comes to this kinda stuff. But, I did this with the help of my 14yo son! Thank you!

[EricBarger-oc]

Definitely one of the better installation videos I’ve watched. Watching and referring to your video has made the process seem a lot less overwhelming. Thanks for sharing.

[OscarGomez-fdkv]

As a professional installer, wow! The amount of detail you put in and make it so simple blows me away! There are so many bad installs out there but thank you for showing everyone the right way!

[myronclement]

Your video was a lot easier to understand then this old houses explanation of hanging a prehung door so thank you

[randalweaver]

I installed a prehung door yesterday and your instructions worked great. The little things to look for paid off as well as the order of tasks to be done. Thank you for doing the video!

[jerbubar]

Installed my first (not my last) door, in an ongoing renovation, by following your video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[jacksagrafsky]

An update on my progress. Had a problem with the install of a NEW pre hung door BUT was able to resolve it and am just painting the door. It all looks good with new moldings and fits an closes fine. Will just reinstall the hardware and knob and will just admire the job FINALLY done with tips you gave. Thanks again.

[omarmorales]

this has to be the easiest pre hung door install period, great job man I will apply this technique the following week.

[Joshsaranisaac]

This is the best YouTube video I’ve seen on hanging a door. It’s dummy proof. Which is what I need. Thanks.

[Stickinit]

Thanks for the great tips. They worked great in a 120 year old house that has zero square, plumb, level uh well anything. You made my life way easier today. Again thanks.

[foxhollow]

Videos like this are so helpful to home projects. I was able to refinish my basement (with no construction experience) using videos like this. Thanks for taking the time to help educate people on how to DIY projects like this.

Best door hanging video on the web. So much easier than most of the others.

[johnmcgowan]

Just installed my prehung door using your technique and it came out way better than anticipated! I don't have the oscillating cutter tool yet so I gently scored the shims flush with a sharp blade using as many passes as needed. Thanks for a common sense simple method that is totally solid

[reno]

Very good video. Love the idea of shimming the door to start with, to get it plumb. Saves a ton of time.

[jerrymiranda]

Very helpful. Instructions are easy to follow.

[edwooodfork]
