This is by far the best looking window in a solid door install I’ve seen. I love that it has built in blinds for privacy and durability! Good job

@TheAwesomeOrange Год назад

Thanks! I love it. 🍊

@thatstrami 3 дня назад

Thank you for the video it's very informative. I would probably also add some sealant on the inside to weatherproof those gaps around the frame. Awesome video

You made that look so easy! I really want to do this to both my garden & front doors! Thank you for doing this video, it was very informative & great to watch! 🥰🥰

Great job! Looks great. I wonder if you could install the window with the door still hung?

@TheAwesomeOrange 2 месяца назад

Thanks! And I think it’s possible, just depends on how good you are with a saw. 🍊

Thank you for sharing this adventure. I am thinking of replacing the window in the mudroom door, and your video gave me a better idea of what I'm getting myself into. 😀

If doing on a solid wood door do you think it is ok to cut through the other side versus turning over and cutting again?

@TheAwesomeOrange 6 месяцев назад

It could work. But if using a jigsaw just have to be careful of the blade bending and it not cutting straight. I’d probably use a circular saw on wood door for most of the cut and finish the corners with a jigsaw. 🍊

@charlotteprescott-ruland9121 7 месяцев назад

You’re gonna regret those blinds. Had our french doors with blinds for a little over a year…blinds are a hot mess. 😩 But thank you for showing me how easy it is to add a new window frame to my front door! I hate the oval shaped one in there now. I may even just see about kits for the french doors, too!

@TheAwesomeOrange 7 месяцев назад

Awesome! Such a huge impact and not difficult. And so far the blinds have been great. 🍊

@jgm3796 5 месяцев назад

Awesome. Great job, it came out great! Just installed a doggie door, now it’s time for a window. I drilled a pilot holes all the way through (with a speed square as a 90°guide) and used a longer Bosch jigsaw blade as my m12 instructions manual says to make sure the blade passes through the entire material being cut.

@TheAwesomeOrange 5 месяцев назад

Nice! Just go slow with the jigsaw and let the blade do the work, because the longer blade can flex and leave your hole on the bottom side of the door off. 🍊

Great video. I watched another one where he used a grinder, but I like the jigsaw better. No sparks. I was assuming that none of these typical steel doors have any bracing inside, all I see is insulation. Thanks.

@richardthomas1566 Год назад

Your suppose to blow off the screw covers and just leave that little pack of covers laying Around until the painter shows up in a few months . That way you never can find them and have to order more from the supplier. Real rookie move doing it right.

YES!!! GREAT video! :D 2 quick questions: 1) Can you customize the dimensions of window choices on Zabitat? (like whatever HXW you want) 2) Any suggestions for adding a window to a door with contoured design? (i.e. special cutting instructions, etc?) Thanks! :-)

@TheAwesomeOrange Год назад

Thanks! Zabitat does have lots of different sizing, but not sure about custom sizing. And for a countries design in a door you can square up the opening and put a window in. I hope that helps. 🍊

@profecarrillo6479 2 года назад

1:35 do you need to drill holes for the jigsaw to go through the door? or would the jigsaw be able to cut through? I am assuming jigsaws only cut horizontally so I thought I'd drill with a standard drill first.

@TheAwesomeOrange 2 года назад

Yes, you need to drill a pilot hole for the jigsaw blade to fit into. 🍊

I wish I could find a trusted person in my area to help and I could pay decent money. Because these big construction companies charge so much

Adding the window was way easier than I thought it would be. I was nervous cutting into a perfectly good door… but I believe anybody could do this! 🍊

Start small fixing things and doing projects. Home Depot and Lowes have weekend classes and you can gain confidence. You will be surprised what you can learn and do!

No insulation?

Steel doors have wood around the edges so you can install locks and hinges

The whole point of the video was to bring natural light in, but you don’t even show any shots of the blinds open. Do the blinds not work?

does this hurt the integrity of the door?

I don’t think so… they are sized so there is still plenty of structure on the sides. 🍊
