you the doors of the house are the original doors from the 1900 period I mean they're beautiful beautiful old doors and it's really part of the character of the house we want to be able to put back into it there's a lot of work when you are prehung doors so they do more become fixed upon a jam and all you really have to do is the jannah' shimon in place make sure it's level and you have a country board but when you're hanging these old antique doors in 1910 they don't come with the door jamb and they're not even the right size or standard or jigs you buy at the stores bed so with these doors on the house so for service for your servant in Georgia because the the width of the door jamb fits perfectly for your two by four walls with driving so it's not standard with your own behind and the door jams just go ahead by your tips the number one problem that you're gonna find is that the door is often taller or shorter than the norfolk's so when you're putting everything together your first step in the door jamb is going to be to size that door correctly now the doers we have a lot of them's are plump so that they're you know different widths some of them are falling apart a lot of them are tall for the organics so the first thing we do is we have the doors down we plug them up shave the end is whatever we have to do to square them up because it's really harder than any of the words not square every single door we had to do we had short because the doors themselves for about 85 manages the door jambs only 1/4 and you really only want about me finish so the first thing we did on the doors standard across all the doors was measure out the board and get it cut and a trick when you're cutting these doors we prepped the bottoms of our doors in a Thursday to prevent any splintering and then we used some clamps to set a kind of a perfect board their God for ripping down the bottom of doors and top centers we took a little bit off the top little bit off the bottom this is a little bit of art but more information on everything that would check out some of our videos when a specific way everybody would and for more information on clamping and you can claim to get doors repair or doors falling apart check out some of our videos will have specific videos for door repairs so the role ahead which heaven were plumb and square perfectly cut the next step that you're going to have in this process is aligning the door with hinges because at this point the door jamb is a clean slate there are no edges you're gonna have to use the router to put hinges so you're gonna lay the door flat and again measure out kind of set your one side of the door jamb down and figure out where that interest goes so that became kept about an eighth of an inch of the top McGirt inch on the bottom and once you have your door set with that side of the door jamb you're gonna go ahead and you're gonna mark the door jamb but where the hinges go and then you can apply a router template to the actual door jamb and run your router to your out over the doorjamb and there's a lot of work that's going to go into just that you have to measure out the depth of the hinges you have to set your router so it's perfectly on use we get more in detail on that a little later right now so what does he have your hinges rather than to the doors in your next step is to measure the top play of the door jamb because this top play is what it's going to set the width of door and you want to have just a little bit of spacing normal actually flows so we measure that the width about the tops of our door jambs and got them perfectly measure for each door so every door jamb and we're putting together this custom for the door that were working with and it's a 32 inch door and inventors have exactly 32 inches wide then you're probably going to do 32 which is in a quarter and then you've got a little extra room there for where the top of the door jamb goes into the side of the door jamb so there's a lot of matter in here and in your giving but it all it's worth it to do this ahead of time and kind of put it by pieces together before you start putting it up on the wall just blame the parts of the Georgian economy around and tap the top of the door and into the two sides and then you'll lean it up to the doorway and at this point you're ready to start shooting out the doorway now when you shove it out what you're basically doing is you're putting in which is and if you're trying to make sure that the door jamb is plumb and you know perfectly level going down the inside of the doorway so when you make sure that it's as long as putting in a sentence is to use a four foot level and you move it up and down the door and you're checking the inside that level to make sure that the doorway itself is flat disk level well it's perfectly Center so this would be a long process but it's also a very easy process you're just finished different sections of the door and a mail in place work your way across the top and work your way across down the other side assuming the door is not very difficult it seems like a daunting task but once you have a few doorways down it's just very so you shouldn't in your way so the next step is going to be security so everything's in place it's your day and now if you're doing everything perfectly you should be able to take the door and pull it in and screw in the cages authorial we actually pre-drilled hard edges after we measure that with more detail and I was suggested doing that because that way you know exactly where I think is ever supposed to be screwed in but most of the time you hang the door after you ship everything it's not gonna work right clothes correctly there may be something that is just there it is and this is where it is really that forward to start maneuvering I can't possibly explain all that videos you can show you my videos where we renovated use of doorways and how we fix them and hopefully as you work your way through some of these problems at the time the doorways the basic problem that you have to close the door a lot of times the world will pop back up and you can watch the hinges and see where it's finding to see which hinge is that cause any problem and then you just Pat that open and close the door several times and watch that hinge and see if the pings upset too deeply need to shim it out if you do need to shim it out you can use cardboard to actually shoot Mountain hinges and level it out a little more but this isn't going to be an easy task you're gonna have to really watch all these images and see where your problem areas are if the door closes and hits along the other side of the dam then you may need to take a chisel and chisel out part of the doorway in order to level out the door so we'll explain in detail how we have worked with certain problem doors in other videos but for the purposes of hanging you do work this is where you work out pinkie spots once you've worked out all the pinkie spots the only things you have left are trimming out maybe the doorstop the doorstop is just done by closing the door and holding it flush and then you hold it flush with the door and then on the other side will run a pencil around and Mark where the doorway is that pencil line becomes the line for rated or sucks going to go and then all you have to do is simply exactly you're slow so hopefully I've explained a few things to you about maybe old works in the house you're gonna want to watch some of our other videos because we're going to go in more detail parallel doors and working out certain kinks you'll run into while you're putting these doorways together but the first thing you have to do is get the door plumb and square trim it whatever it is that you have to be going to fit the door - then you're gonna actually align hinges on the door jamb do you know grammar images and we'll have a video I'm just grabbing the pages and then you'll frame out the remainder of your door jamb measure out your top keys Shimon the entire door jamb and voila you're ready to go take you to tour other videos will do more soon to mordor dams within more cased opening I'll do
