How to Fit Door Frame Lining - Fitting Tricks 

Thanks Paul, it's comments like yours that make it all worth the effort, many thanks!

Absolutely true!! I’ve just been let down by our builder who is running off with about £4k of our money. Time to roll up my sleeves, let it go and crack on with it myself. Robin, can you do a video explaining different types of door linings and how you match them to the timber used on a partition wall? Just about to corner off a downstairs toilet 😅

Good

We tried! Hope your well mate good to hear from you

Lol 💯 🤣 had one the other day FFS it took me most of the day sizing the door in with the angles of the frame including an inverted banana bend on hinge side and the floor running up when it opened lol 🙈 the joy's 👍🏻🔨📐👷🤝

I started boat building when I was 48, and now have a cedar strip 11ft boat I built, then trained as a therapist aged 55, if you want it enough, you can...they do apprenticeships for all ages now (uk)

Watch his shower tray installation video... Who used sand and cement these days lol

@@guysmith1192 The instructions said use lean mix sand and cement. Do it your way mate but the warranty is out the window if you use tile adhesive or some other grab adhesive. A lot of trays are far from flat on the back and need bedding.

I use sand and cement always and never had a problem. Gives you lovely amount of adjustment to level up.

@@justicecase19 Thank you for that I was thinking I was the last man on the planet to follow the instructions.

Master carpenter? LOL

SBUK69 Don't beat yourself up, one thing you understand when you get older is that kids lack perspective and they also think youth is a permanent condition. Your Father-In-Law knew that because he was once young. If we lived our lives backwards we would know which bits of our education and experience would serve us best.

Thanks for the reply, yes as very often mentioned hindsight is a great thing. I do try and make an effort with any apprentices that come our way, but can’t help but notice I little bit of me in them 😩.. keep the vids coming, anything on the renovation side of the trade would be great to watch I’m sure. Cheers

Chippies on site don't have the time mate well in Belfast anyway

Oh my I noticed those skills.

Benjamin's jealous cause he's now realised he should have listened to mothers advise, fundaments of success stem from a solid grounding of ballet. First Billy Elliot now Robin. 😁

And his Mick Jagger dance

Good plie form!

Glad it helped!

Bang on, how's Sydney!

Robin Clevett I don't hang any doors now as I'm not a fan of doing it so I haven't checked. Never liked it unless I put the lining in because they usually weren't plumb, straight, and were twisted. I always enjoyed framing, roofs and floors, first fix mainly. I was thinking about hanging doors after this video and wondered about making the lining up and fitting the door and possibly architraves to one side. Use the door to square up the lining before fitting the architraves with a brace on the opposing side cut flush . Fit the hinge side first of the lining using the architrave as a stop so it sits flush to the wall. If you get the hinge side plumb and the door squares the frame it would automatically plumb the lock side for you. Just a case of packing and screwing it in place and checking for bows etc. It would also ensure the jambs were't twisted. The only thing you forgot mate was to sight in the jambs to each other across the opening. Cheers 👍👌
