Just because a door is hollow doesn't mean it can't be trimmed. It just takes a simple solution like this.

This is SO GOOD. 100% efficient, no time wasting. Very much appreciated. Will subscribe.

Should we veer off the cut line at the end of the cut as well and cover it with sand paper and hope no one notices?

@lawrencejackson7038 Год назад

Thank you! Just renovated my bathroom and the vinyl planks are noticeably slowing the closing speed. You rock!

@jackyates5258 4 года назад

Love how far off the line he came at the end

@jeffroutledge9153 4 года назад

You noticed that too? Lol

@dhunter8286 3 года назад

Just hide it under a piece of sand paper until the video is over, and you're done

@stevep2222 2 года назад

I saw that also atleast it wasn't to the bad

@adamluthman6187 2 года назад

I was wondering who else saw that... The saw looked to be about a 1/4" off the guide at the end of the cut.

@fyt54321 Год назад

Why use a "1 by" clamped guide if you aren't going to stay on the guide? And then publish the video anyway. Also the lack of hearing protection using a corded circular saw in a closed room with a slab floor.

@CardinalEgan 5 лет назад

If you cut the top and the bottom, then you have to relocate the hinges. Otherwise you will just have a gap at the top... I like the "score the cut line first" idea though.

@prettypinkhorses 2 года назад

Thank you for this! I had tile put in my laundry room and the door no longer fit. I have been dreading 'the trim' for months but successfully completed it today after watching your video. The cut was straight using your method and the door fit perfectly!

lol, his table on his saw was a quarter inch from the fence board at the end of his cut, LMFAO

when you can't keep your saw on the straight edge

@lindaarbuckle6266 2 года назад

Would help for people not used to being handy to tell how you measured, and where in regard to your line the saw blade should be. Also would be helpful for new people to mention saw blade depth and adjusting that. Do you need to tape the bottom, or score it to keep the bottom from being ripped out?

Watched it twice just to see the cut go wrong cos am perfect youknow

@billkoni8347 2 года назад

A word of caution. These new "Masonite" hollow doors at Lowe's and Home Depot do not have an inch and a half of solid at the top and bottom. I just hung two as bypass doors and when attaching the roller brackets at the top I hit empty void at 11/16"so I'm guessing we have a 5/8" board at the top. I had to use only the top screw holes on the bracket and not the bottom holes

@TrueLoveNetwork 2 года назад

The newest doors are no longer Masonite or Wood at all: for $90 US plus tax, all you now get are cardboard doors (that's right: even the "wood" inside is made of compressed cardboard). I am finding it impossible to cut this kind of shit STRAIGHT with a Jig Saw or Circular saw designed to cut wood. Instead, the blade never gets to "bite" and wanders everywhere. F****ing Chin****!

@ADAMDivorceAttorneysforMen Год назад

Very helpful thanks

@BurtBowers 4 года назад

I tried this method running long ways & jacked up 2 doors was horrible the bottom is easier to work with but long ways about half way through blade wonders now going to try electric planer hopefully will be better off then saw.

@sonofsandwiches6892 9 месяцев назад

He didn't even follow his edge guide at the end - so why even have it???

@Tyreeceholmes Год назад

I like his cut walked away from him by 1/4" at the end

@frez777 8 месяцев назад

@Hume108 3 года назад

What if you need to cut 10" , how do you fix the visible hollow opening? Fill the gaps with blocks and run edge banding over it? Or move the off-cut frame piece up to desired size and glue it on? Or fill the gaps with aerosol foam insulation then cover with polyester resin then paint? Which method is best and is there another better method?

@aaronjohnson9529 2 года назад

What did you end up going with? I feel like sizing down what gets cut off and gluing it back seems the fastest fix.

If you cut too far can you fix it with an epoxy hard setting wood filler or something?
