HOW TO REMOVE and REPLACE a Front/Back Door (Easier Than it Looks!)

Coming from a fellow veteran carpenter, you did a great job of showing how nothing is "just". It's never "oh, 'just' install a new door" or window or 'just' replace a deck or lock set. Or 'just' repair a whole in drywall. Nothing is 'just'. And people who don't know this trade need to understand this point.

As a handyman who has installed many doors I can say you did a great job detailing all the important steps for correctly installing a door. I always like to see how other people do it to see if I can pick up any new tricks. Great job

I’ve watched many many “how to install a door” videos. You are the first to ever explain why the reveal at the top corners can look weird or off and how to fix it by loosening one screw in the corner and tightening the other at the opposite corner until the reveals are the same. My god. That was life changing. I mean it. Thank you.

Well done! I’m a carpenter with 35 years of experience and counting. And I agree with everything you said. Nice tips how to fix the hinges that were set too deep from the factory. Keep up the good videos!

I guarantee that in my life, I will never, ever install a door (I have a door guy). Why did I watch this whole video? Because it really is captivating and interesting. You guys do a GREAT job of making things succinct and informative, without the stammering and time-wasting that so many other YouTubers do. Brilliantly edited, too. Excellent job!!

This is what I do most of for a living. I give this video my approval. If the door is plumb and your top reveal is off the right side of that door needed to go up a heavy 16th of an inch. Also if you shim the center hinge heavy it will push the entire door to the latch side. 7 doors a week you learn a few tricks

I start to get excited about doing a project like this at home so I watch a video like this one. Then I realize I should definitely hire a professional to do the job. Thanks for reminding me again

Probably the best video on an exterior door installation that I've seen. I'm always impressed by the level of detail and attention you give to each and every project. I"ve learned so much from watching your videos. Kudos.

One thing I learned when I worked for a handyman company was to have a 6’ level for installing doors! Helps especially if there is any bowing in the frame

Hats off to Jordan for all those super close up follow-along camera shots he's been doing!

Working at a box store, I often ask contractors questions on installing doors and windows. This video taught me more than 6 months of questioning "professionals." Great Work!

Bro, we need more guys like you as teachers in our public education system. Real skills, real money = no college debt.

This video popped up in my feed, and I watched it from the perspective of a residential/commercial door specialist, having installed many thousands of doors, reinstalled many thousands more. I also taught proper door installation to other carpenters. I know, too well, the deficiencies of door manufacturers and production framing crews. I have watched many u-tube carpenters install a door and face-palm. A correct swap, well done. You even called out the larger #9 screw ( I use stainless) on the security screw. I also use 3" # 7's for strike and latch plates. Criminals beware :) !

I have to say, the Guy Fieri Diner's Drive In's and Dives vibes I got from this video had me giggling at first, but by the end of this video any doubt that I had about being able to DIY replacing my door is gone. The amount of detail put into this is incredible. Showing every step no matter how small on camera, explaining what you're using and WHY you are doing what you do, and then explaining every possible thing you might come across is soo useful for someone like me who is just starting out in DIY home renovations. You explained every single bit of this in such a clear and thorough way, the editing and camera work was very entertaining and of professional quality, and it was just a joy to watch. I'll definitely be back to watch more as I start more home projects, I've already seen so many videos on your channel I need to watch in the future!

Sorry Stud Pack, I was cut off before I could finish. After installing the newly formed Sill tray, use the quality sealant around the edges to prevent air leaks, around the Sill tray. As a note on the knob side of door, I would suggest using wider shims around the latch area so your customers can add reinforcement latches that contain 8-12 3" harden screws to prevent door kick in's that could pull your frame out of plumb without wider shims placed on latch side. These are simple couple of suggestions to you, and I say this respect. I have been installing doors and windows for years without water penetration. Keep up your wonderful work, I enjoy your videos. Best regards to you, Danny Price

I like to replace the cheap door seals with the magnetic ones, for a better seal. I’ve made shims by cutting up, plastic antifreeze jugs. I like how you left the external trim in place!

I'm never going to financially recover from this channel

So comfortable to watch, dont want it to end, want to see you thru the finish part, foam insulation, casing, floor transition, caulk, paint, lunch, etc

Thank you. Your attention to detail is becoming a lost art. Hopefully the younger generation is watching content like yours. I’m a subscriber and although I’ve done a lot of the same jobs you work on, I have picked up some tips and tricks from each of your videos. One thing I am doing on exterior door installations is hardening the area where the dead bolt goes into the frame. I normally put a 3 foot strip of steel next to the 2x4 framing and secure it with long screws. It helps to make it secure from being kicked in. I also use structural screws on the hinges. That is most important on the lower ones. Keep the good content coming.

I'm retired from my 30 plus years as a painting contractor but I used to make hinge plates from wood. I never thought to use PVC. It's nice to see someone who does a job right.
