I had to do a separate search to find out what "the latch" was/does but otherwise found this video very helpful, thank you. No more building-shattering door slams.
Thank you so much!!! As a single woman living alone, I was able to fix my apartment buildings door without having to call my dad. I feel so powerful haha. My door requires a flathead screwdriver and I had to figure out that the latch speed was too fast. but this tutorial was very helpful. Thank you!
Great job demonstrating a tricky job. Quick question. What should the rough opening be if the door is 36” x 80”? You mentioned the width being 38 1/4” which is very helpful
A week into my first year apprenticeship in commercial construction and they have me helping with installing dropped ceilings, 8 videos in and this is the first one that explains the process the 4th year journeyman uses to layout the grid. ( Is a joke, he has enough experience and hours to be journeymen, but he's still a 4th year)
Would raising an existing drop ceiling be similar? is there an "easy" way to bump it up? Is it possible to raise just part of a ceiling in a room, or do they always have to come straight across level?
Good video. Will show to my crew as a best practices reminder. Quick question though….were you saying your finished width was 35 15/16”? I failed a TAS inspection for an 1/8” on aisle width. Not sure if 1/16th would get caught, but I just wanted clarification when I show to the crew.
Well I believe this is so the reveal around the inside of the door stays at an 1/8”. That lets us know that the door is set properly. Not sure if that answers your question, I’d have to throw a tape on one of our doors
Little trick a ceiling guy taught me for layout is to count the number of fulls and multiply by two pull the number from the wall mark and measure the remainder from the other wall and divide by two pull that number from the wall and every four foot are your mains
Bar joists were running perpendicular, and this is just an install video… if I did an 8’ main it wouldn’t show how to connect the mains and that is important for these types of instructionals. Go ahead and make your videos however you like👍
On this exact door handle my key stays jammed inside when the door is locked. Trying to take the handle off but the key won’t turn clockwise 45 degrees.
