tip from a carpenter, when the pilot bit pokes out the other side, finish drilling from the other side to prevent breakout

This is the easiest solution. Another is to clamp a scrap piece of wood onto the backside to prevent blowout and patching later on

@mikebonello7494 5 лет назад

You're a true expert and your videos are great to watch and extremely useful. One thing i have to say, having done some cabinet work - you can't beat a trim router and a simple router template to get those hinge recesses done in literally 20 seconds. That's why they round those hinge corners these days. Keep up the great work - these are so much better than some of the other 'diy help' channels out there in RU-vid land!

@skyespye6053 4 года назад

Watching your video made my installation of the French doors in the basement so much easier! Plus I really enjoyed seeing you make a couple of tiny goofs and then fixing them. Keep up the good work!

@ecospider5 5 лет назад

Exterior doors for sound proofing. I had French doors installed between my basement office and Theater room. I wanted it to be really quiet so I used wood exterior French doors with windows in them. The benefit in sound dampening having it airtight top, bottom and center is amazing. It was an extra $1000 but totally worth it.

@GuillermoVCervera 5 лет назад

Jeff, I wanted to thank you very much for this video. I had to install French doors in my house and you video guided me to complete it successfully. After a long though on the hardware to use I decided to use the roller balls on each door top. I bought two nice lever door knobs because this is for a living room/entrance. I decided not to install the latch (and catch) since I don't need any locking feature. It came out pretty well except for a little rattling sound I couldn't resolve. Now I have to paint it to match the wood color of the floor and the staircase. I have to figure out what kind of paint to use and how to match the color. I subscribed to your channel because I find your explanations very clear and fun to watch. Thanks again!

@df5687 4 года назад

Nice video Jeff! A trick for boring out holes for door handles with the guide tool you used to avoid chipping from the opposite side, start drilling on one side a little bit, maybe a mm or 2 and then go to the other side to drill right through, the template tool should guide it perfectly through still, and you'll avoid chipping and extra work patching.

@dondonaldson1684 5 лет назад

A couple of inputs: 1. Estwing makes a really nice two faced mallet for use with chisel work and for installing door hardware so that there aren't chowder marks left by the dimpled faced framing hammer 2. When the doors are horizontal, stand them up on the long edge and clamp them together for two operations (drilling the ball latch holes and marking the top hinge mortices). This also reminds you to have mirror images for hinges...and please don't ask why I know this is a good idea :-).

@justice216 5 лет назад

you are a certified winner! I hope you do a whole video on tools and name brands down to the pencil -square- the laser, etc etc.

@samo4648 5 лет назад

Just a tip that you may already know. When you are drilling the hole for the handle, as soon as you see the tip of the drill bit come out the other side, take it out and drill from the other side, that way the hole saw won't make the wood/hdf splinter off like it did

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

If I was using the proper drill I would have been more confident. I was trying to find the right moment since it took almost 5 mins. But it snuck up on me! Cheers!

@dmitryalekhin9066 5 лет назад

i would called it destroyed door. screwed up hinges, screwed up handles.

@jfkansas5508 5 лет назад

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY It wasn't about the proper drill, you said you saw the center bit coming out the other side, should have switched drill sides then. You probably didn't think it would tear out that bad, then oops.

The gap in-between the doors is about perfect, if you install a T Astragal not only will it block the light but it will fill whatever gap there is. Astragals are usually included in French door kits

@duanemckitterick3450 4 года назад

I truly enjoy watching your videos. You have taught me a lot of little tricks of the trade. Sometimes you show a little tip and I go DUH, why did I do It so much harder for 30+ years. Lol. It was comical watching you drill the door knob, using that honker of a drill. Lol. One tip that I could suggest if I may, would be, when the pilot drill popped through the backside of the door, remove the drill bit and start drilling from the other side of the door and that would prevent the massive tear out from the hole saw.

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

that all depends on how much access you have to the ceiling in the basement. Perhaps one day we can show some info on that!

@rwind656 5 лет назад

I vote for a central vac system install, too! Would love to see one retrofit to an existing house. And couldn't the lines be run thru an attic in a one story house? (Not under the floor.)

@jfkansas5508 5 лет назад

Central vac systems are better left to the 60s/70s when they were a "thing". You could buy 20-30 handheld rechargeable Dyson vacs and get much better cleaning than a central vac system. Technology wins today.

@matthewjohnson214 5 лет назад

Always awesome video. I’m doing some home remodeling and your videos help a lot. I’m a hands on visual guy. I saw the blow out from the hole saw on the back side of the door. If you just get the center drill bit part through the back then remove the hole saw and drill from the other side placing the center drill bit in the small hole on the back side you won’t have that blow out. Keep the videos coming. One question is this the same basic install for exterior French doors. If not what’s different other than the weather proofing.

@npate24 3 года назад

Is it normal to have a bit of a gap in between the doors? I have about 1/2 gap in between the doors. Also one thing I guess you can doo when installing the top stopper is you can measure the length of the top stopper and measure the same distance on your drill bit and then put a masking tape and when the tape hits the top of the door you know you have drilled far enough. Hope that helps.

@superlazyorg 3 года назад

If the gap at the top is not perfect, how can it be corrected? My door on the left is about 3mm low at top center and same spacing between the doors at the bottom. Maybe more shim thickness at bottom and less at top? Jamb is plumb though.

@hwy99 4 года назад

Any possibility you could do a video on replacing existing closet doors with newer modern doors. I have bi-folds everywhere and hate them - want the proper door (single or double), but not sure what to do about the 1" drywall overhang that surrounds the existing bi-fold doors to hide the outside gap. This is the finished edge of the wall - do I cut this so that it's rough edge and flush with the opening of the closet and then follow this video - or do I leave it and tuck the door framing behind it? I'm sure it's a stupid question - just haven't found a good example of how to do it properly on You Tube.

@RecklessTheory 3 года назад

This is a good tutorial for a door from scratch but there's a lot of brands that make custom order prehung French doors where all you have to do is make it level and plumb in the opening and it will be as perfect as you possibly can get it.

There is a tool to make the round corner hinge cutouts into a square. It is a small "L" shaped chisel set into a block. A tap with a hammer sets your square corner.

I took the hinges off my front door to replace them with a different color. Now there is a 1/8th air gap that I just can’t get to go away. Do you have a video on how to adjust a front door so it closes tight to the air seal gasket. I added a compression door jamb weatherstrip but it would be better if that was a second seal instead of the main seal.

they make "hinge shims" that go behind the hinges to push the door over ever so slightly.
