As an additional tip, use some chalk or even lipstick on the locking barrel and door catch which makes it easier to mark where the notches need to go. Prints an impression onto the door sill if that makes sense.

If you screw your striker plates on backwards, you can cut around them with a utility knife first. Saves time, makes for a nice tight fit and reduces the chance of chipping out a piece of the frame with a chisel.

@zedon8769 Год назад

Your so right

@skygh Год назад

Absolutely. Sharp knife required and while I have router guides that do this task faster for common size strikes because this is my job I must resort to hand carving regularly. Realize the sharp part of the blade has an angle that can be tipped to control how tight your prep is. Practice on a scrap first

@jackedwards7420 2 года назад

You went way overboard building that casing from scratch (although is good knowledge for antique door jambs); however, lowes/home depot/etc have the entire jamb casing sides premade with weather strip groove in one piece and is much easier to install!!

@King_DTA 2 года назад

He didn’t touch his “door casing” , he only rebuilt one leg of his “Door Jamb” .. the casing is on the outsides of the jam and separate unit. But yes same principle still applies lowes and Home Depot both make pre made and pre cut legs for the entire door jamb or you can buy all 3 legs for a full rebuild and buy the casing separate

I have been looking online via all the home centers trying to find just that one special (lock side) board with the weather strip slot cut into it and only found one big box store selling it in white vinyl for $86 ! You made it look so simple by just making it out of 2 pieces after I struggled trying to make it out of 1 solid board and then trying to cut that slot ! Thanks Again ! A+++++++

@SSHitMan 2 года назад

I worked for 35 years as a carpenter in Chicago, I fixed hundreds of door jambs in that time. These were overwhelmingly in older apartment buildings, and the jamb stock on those was 1 1/2" stock cut so where the striker plates attached was about 7/8". I didn't remove the whole jamb, just take a circular saw and cut off the 1 3/4" part the striker plates attach to. Then rip a piece to fit (we kept 2x12 stock on the truck for this purpose) and screw it back on. This made for a very strong repair, on a few of my repairs police or fire subsequently had reason to bust the door down (I worked in some very sketchy neighborhoods) and the door would break instead of the jamb breaking again. I'd always but screws on both sides of where the striker plates go, this greatly increases the strength.

@nsatoday Год назад

I like using my cordless trim router and jugs for plates and hinges. Fast, accurate, less chisel work. Also, consider using GRK or SPAX structural screws. Makes the door more resistant to breaking if someone tries to kick down the door etc

@TheDWZemke 2 года назад

I like to take a thin sheet/roll of metal use contact cement / glue and place that assembly on the outside of the door FRAME. When a hoodlum trys to kick in the door the recieve a lesson on how a door can be rebuilt. Make sure you have a video camera on the door so that can go viral. Nice job on your video.

@smarthome2660 11 месяцев назад

Added security: when adding the 1/2" filler, leave out a space where the deadbolt is and add a 1/2" aluminum plate. The deadbolt will protrude into this plate by approximately 1/4". Tack on the door jam, cut your deadbolt hole, apply a light film of grease to the end of the bolt to locate the hole you need to cut in the plate, remove both the door jam & the plate to cut the hole for the deadbolt.

Def use 3" screws on strike plates. Not sure where your from, I'm modest we get all 4 seasons. So we practice screwing our mailing the from and back of jams on entry doors to prevent warping. We also never fill the rough in opening to fit tightly against the jam, expansion and contraction would have is back repairing the door as soon as the season changes. Composite Shims are better and virtually no expansion and contraction. Awesome video none the less!

That was a beautiful repair. I'm suppose if you couldn't find the frame this would be perfect. How much did you charge them?

you also do not have to replace the whole board if you have older doors its harder to get the whole board out without taking the screen door off too, you can just cut out 2-3 feet of the board, like the middle section thats broke and cut it to match and screw it in, done this to mine and you will never notice the difference and just as secure saving you half the time

It's about time you used that new table saw lol. Shims also work really well and used 99% of the time. Solid wood is even better. You go young man and thanks for the video that I'm sure everyone finds extremely useful if not in the business and/or on the field. I'm glad you are doing well because I know you care about your work and that's always nice to see. People don't have much pride in their work these days. You seem like a really nice young man with a lot of good ideas. Cheers my friend. Merry Christmas and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday and safe one at that. 👍 They also have deadlifts that cut the door wholes for the door knob and deadbolt that help you drill the whole job and line things up that are pretty inexpensive for the homeowner or DYI person. Last thing is I believe that using a drill on low speed works better than the impact because it's so powerful it can strip the wood and then you have another issue to work with. Just my 2 cents if it helps anyone. Impacts should be used for differnt applications in my opinion. If you are used to these tools then you know what I mean.
