Are you wishing your front door was in a different spot? It can be done! Moving your front door to a new location is easier than you think-especially when it's in an old house like this one.
Follow along as we share trade secrets to a water-tight entry door that is sealed up against water and air infiltration. Let's go!
Got a comment or question? Leave it below and I'll get back to you!

The secret to a front door is knowing that just about every door has an R5 rating for insulation purposes. what sets the expensive doors apart is the quality of the finishes and the air seal. If you install a cheap exterior door from the building store you can get a superior result by following this example and spending the time to install it square plumb and flush. This way a $200.00 door will perform just as well as a $1000.00 door. Cheers!

A long time ago, I wanted to ask if ever there would be a chance that you would move a front door. But I figured probably not, so I never asked. Lo and behold, little did I know you'd some day be working on your own century old house and moving the front door. When I got an email from Michele today with this episode listed, I couldn't believe my luck. And, you're going to be cutting out the center of the door for a glass insert. Again, I can't believe my luck! Thank you, Jeff. And 'hello' Matt and Max.

@hmax1591 3 года назад

Finally somebody actually gets into the details of the door width and the framing and how wide to make the door rough opening. Thank You! seen four videos and nobody bothers to give you the details.

@aleighawagner661 3 года назад

Thank you for finally making a clear video on how to do this. I am an avid DIY RU-vid home improvement learner. Without the amazing people and companies like yours showing us poor people how to fix our homes, Lord knows I'd be living in a cardboard box that looks like Swiss cheese. So I greatly do appreciate all the step-by-step advice and tips.

Another GREAT video Jeff ! it's helping me soldier on with a less than co operative crappy rough opening I made the mistake of making too large (I went the standard 2" over door size BUT went 2" over door slab AND jam, then butchered it trying to add 1x4 furring & whatnot) I think I will end up tearing out the rough timber & just re do it all with new possibly straighter lumber *shakes fist* darn big box store substandard lumber. Sure wish I had a friend like you here :) Awesome videos!

@deanwoodward8026 5 лет назад

In a similar situation where I had a huge gap on one side, I shimmed the gap with a 1x4 planed down to fill the gap on the hinge side where I wanted the whole door nice and solid- then used extra long screws on the striker side to make sure anyone trying to break the door down had to work for it.

@iansimpson6553 5 лет назад

Hey Jeff, I just installed an exterior door and my house is more crooked than yours. So far so good! In another video, it would be great to see you change a metal door step. Sometimes in the 90’s they were making steel door but with a pvc door step. These tend to break and speciality stores sell the aluminium step cover. It would be nice if you showed us how to replace it without tearing everything apart, since usually the door itself is still good enough when the pvc door step is collapsing. Cheers!

Love your channel! I have a question regarding my new door. We have a stone veneer and the old sil pan flashing was horribly cut aluminum. I ordered the PVC flashing to put in, but I’m wondering if the actual prehung door goes behind the veneer or up against it? Also, the brick mold for the prehung is not wide enough as the old brick mold was 5 1/2 inches. Will I most likely have to cut my own, or is there brick mold for 5 1/2 inches that can be bought like the other kits in the big box stores? Thanks as you have helped me with a lot of projects around my home!

@mauderoy1358 5 лет назад

Hi Jeff ! Excellent video as always. 2 questions though. 1. As for the top of the door on the outside, is there something to install to prevent water from getting in ? I see you've installed the membrane but with the molding, wouldn't the part of least resistance be inside ? 2. For the studs you cut, did you have to support the roof or did you just cut them ? Thank you so much for all the excellent work !

@randomgamer-st1ie 5 лет назад

Question #1: along the top of the door, look for something called a window cap. It tucks under the siding, and has a 1 1/4" overhang with a curved edge to direct rainwater down the front of the door and not behind the brickmold. Finish it off with j channel molding for a nice finished look. Question 2: depends on if the studs are load bearing. If they are, use 2x4s as jacks while installing your frame. For a load bearing header, you dont want the 2x4s to warp and bow under pressure, so make the header with two 2x4s sandwiched around a 1/2" piece of plywood or osb. This makes it exactly 3.5" thick, and install it vertically if that makes sense.

@antonioakiki3716 5 лет назад

Doors are badly insulated no matter what becaus of the studs and thin doors

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

doors are r5, the system I am using is less of an insulating system than an air barrier system. I need to guarantee that over time the sill does not separate from the flooring. since there is so much movement in this foundation having the shims makes me feel like I am less likely to compress the insulation while curing as I go in and out. once it is set I could always remove the shims and finish off with more foam.

@rolfbjorn9937 5 лет назад

I'm always puzzled by the door installation methods we have. It's just holding by shims and screws and is not part of the structure. I'd be tempted to make the door frame structural and not something you just kick in. There is now a trend of replacing the screws with longer screws, but before I changed them I found 5/8 brass screws holding the main door in a previous apartment.

@jmaclicious10 5 лет назад

im loving these videos! also question, how are the inspectors in ON for wiring light switches and not connecting the ground screw to the switch when using metal boxes? Im about to do an inspection here in MB soon but really didn't want to consume more box space than necessary to pig tail 4 grounds for my switches. (would require an extra 2 connectors plus 5 extra ground wires to do this). I mean realistically all my switches upstairs are not grounded to the switch, but are grounded from the box and it still reads 120v with multimeter, so I cant get over how the inspector will react to this for a basement reno? thanks again! cant wait for more.

@GeoffPowell 5 лет назад

Jmaclicious new code rule for 2018 (which comes into effect here in Ontario May 16) in Canada which says if there is a ground terminal on the switch it must be connected to ground. Also all lighting switches must have a neutral wire from the circuit so that means no more 2 wire switch legs from the light fixture down to the switch. That said if you’re installing 4 switches you should have a 4 gang box. You should have 2 ground screws for each section of the box so technically you can get 2 ground wires per screw or loop around 1 screw with a long ground and go to 2 switches. Depends on number of cables and conductors in your box... lots of possibilities that could be discussed. Signed a Geoff the electrician, AKA big fan of Jeff the HomeRenovision RU-vid star.

Do I need to remove the frame of my door if its still good? Can I not just remove the door off the hinges and replace it with a new door and pop it onto the hinges? Of course the door would probably need some shaving done on the sides to make it perfectly flush but it be cheaper and easier if I could do that.

Is there any issue with the gap on the front of the sill? From this angle it looks like the sill only makes contact with that thin piece of wood you put in the rough opening to force water out the front. Does that get shimmed anywhere? Is there any concern that the door sill will "rock" on that board you put in there? I noticed the shims are only between that board and the sill. Thanks!

@iansimpson6553 5 лет назад

Out the back of my house, there’s a exterior door, then there is a small adjacent shed that is not heated and another very old door. Water is getting in when it rains. The door is 34x80 but the frame is only 6 inches thick. Most doors that come with a frame are 7 1/4. I would like to mount the door flush with the outside wall cause the vinyl was just redone and although it’s a shed, it’s been redone as if part of the house. Before he installed the new vinyl, the contractor covered the actual door frame with aluminum. Should I just leave the aluminium, stick some blue stuff over it, install the new door frame flush to the outside and then what do I do with the extra 1 1/4 poking out in the inside? Hope I’m clear.

@blueboy7777777777777 4 года назад

I'm not sure where to put the door as far as the jam is concerned. Is it supposed to be flush on the outside and sticks in 1/2" for the drywall? If so then I would assume the molding on the outside will take up the thickness of the siding.

@ryan736 4 года назад

Question- I have a two story and want to put a door that goes from garage wall to under the inside stairs. Garage has just an attic above it and a living room with large opening to kitchen behind it. It’s drywall and studs. I’m assuming it is weight bearing. I haven’t seen anyone do supports when putting an exterior door. Is that just assumed or am I missing something? Rafters would be running parallel on top of this wall.

@frugalsolutions 4 года назад

is the jam supposed to be flush with drywall and stucco or flush with the stud?

@brianpiper3188 5 лет назад

Great video! One minor question: Why didn't you just cut the outer siding, instead of removing it? I've installed a couple doors myself and I just do layout for the opening, set the depth of the circular saw (using test cuts), and carefully go for it. A reciprocating saw or jigsaw will finish what the circular blade doesn't cut. I guess I'm just coming from the perspective of a job site, where time is money. Again, great video!

Hi Brian, we are doing a complete remodel of this house so all the exterior facade was going to be removed anyway. no time like the present. Cheers!

Just curious how I fix the situation, post installation by the box store "professional" installers, who left me with an exterior door that won't hold it's position. Or, in other words, when I open the door and want to leave it opened, it just closes on its own. It's like the door is slightly out of plumb?
