I bought a new door for my brick shed as I wasn't brave enough to take a stab at making one. It arrives tomorrow so I'm really glad this video popped up in my feed. The lock bit is giving me the fear though. Smart move bringing Gypsy out during the sponsor message. I usually jump past those but I didn't here. She's so sweet.
According to a couple of window guys I had around my place who spotted a door I'd refurbed, that fluted glass is rare and worth a bit now. There's a rubber garage threshold strip that SF & TS sell which sticks directly to concrete.
Really nice work, Keith. Would be a good idea to run a bead of exterior sealant along the top of the sill where it meets the door. You should be able to get a brown color... I think DAP makes it.
@@jeffroberts760 I used to live on the Wet Coast of British Columbia so am familiar with rain. It also depends on the prevailing winds but it's difficult to keep anything dry. Standard kit included duct tape, WD40 and sealant.
Good job! I recently modified an old door to fit into one of my door jambs. Though I used jigs for the hinges and mortise lock, which made my life easier because my hand skills are a bit lacking. It's quite a different rewarding feeling hanging a door indeed.
I'd run a bead of caulk along the top of the sill you attached to the bottom of the door. And then, maybe, apply some of the stain over the caulk to hide it and make the sill look almost seamless.
I've been watching your videos Keith the last year and half, I've learnt so much from you and the brilliant habits you have. Just had to leave a comment saying you're a great teacher of woodworking and thanks for the content.
Hi Keith, you want the Exitex MWK20 for under the door. You install the alloy cill, then trim the door 20mm from the bottom of the cill and screw another extrusion onto door bottom. I use a able saw to trim the alloy weather bar part off so you could keep the timber one you've installed. It's the best as there are no seals underfoot. You can set the cill on cement if necessary to make it solid. I use a laser to set screws level then the cill sits on the screws and the cement holds/seals in place
Having the handle that close to the frame impedes the insertion of a jemmy to force the lock, which is good. I have often seen shed doors with lower door handles, no idea why.
Probably lower because they used to have stable doors in them, so when they went to actually put a lock on, they used the same old door, and thus put the lock in the bottom half, and then screwed the 2 halves together forever. Thus the old latch position, to a new door later, and the new door position, even later, was transferred to a newer frame, when the old one rotted away..
Satisfying to see the hinges getting screwed down close up 👌looked good in the end I think. That fluted glass looks like it might be good for a future project. lovely Cat too 🐈
Great video Keith. I bet you were frustrated with the door handle, the job almost finished and to find it doesn’t fit - been there ! One thing I would suggest is to run a bead of brown silicone around the top and sides of the door sill to stop water weeping down behind the sill, being trapped and rotting the bottom of your lovely new door. Cheers
Pretty nice work, Keith! 😃 Yeah, fitting a new door in a old frame is never easy. And you got to do what you got to do. BTW, there's a channel which the code they use is "MEOW"! 😂 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice work, one thing I'd advise is for you to use Forster bits for fitting door hardware. They produce a much cleaner hole. I use Bosch forstner bits and they are excellent 👍 🔨 🇮🇪
Hey, Keith. The door & lock/handle functions correctly and looks attractive, so all is well. I think that you did an outstanding job. Thanks for sharing these two videos.
You did a great job. Once I saw a professional door hanger and he used a router with jigs to cut for the locking mechanism and hinges. Super clean install and no tear out. I think on the pinch in would’ve done the same as you did, but the router seemed like a cleaner way to go. Another concern I had was that little groove by the bottom water deflector. I would use exterior silicone (do they make it close to your color choice?) to give a faster path for rainwater to slide off instead of pooling in the little crack as you have it now. Cheers.
We have just had to fit 5 interior doors in our house and all of them are of random size , when i say that i mean that whoever built the house must have had each original door custom made for the size as even the doors that are supposed to match are not even close. We fitted some quite heavy chipboard and thick oak vainer doors, fitting doors is a nightmare and the one into the utility / bathroom area was that bad that we had to take the frame out and cut out the brick wall (with new hand made door jam/frames) , the dust in my house now has dust and that dust also has dust. All that means i know how much a pain fitting doors can be , good job K man .
i have rubber seals along my garage doors - Weather Stop - Garage Door Threshold Seals search will bring up loads, although that may require changes to the door now - BUT as you say - water has never got in before , keep the floor level , i'm sure as your parents get older - you dont want small steps / trip hazards , especially in workshop/garden where you are often just popping in quickly to pickup something and not always paying attention, at least thats my excuse.
The rail near the center of a door is called the lock-rail and is often centered where the lock is intended to go. So yes your photoshop version is more correct.
At about 1min in i noticed a milwaukee tressel with a foot operated clamp - tried a search nothing came up - I assume it was milwaukee tressel as i know they sponsor you and it looked the same colours :) do you have a link - didnt see in description
Mandy I thought that at first too, but I think that was his mother in laws door. I think. I have replaced a door outside to a water heater here at my house and there is always something that needs a little work around once you get there. I so enjoy his videos. AND THAT CAT!!! wow what a cutie!
I'd already bought the handles. When I arrived I had to go get hinges too and brass were best option. Don't really see why it matters since it is a garage door
