I did interior trim for 25 years.( mostly high end) Got a state job 6 years ago and remove and install steel doors and jambs now. Literally have two openings that I'm fixing to do what you just did. Thanks a million for sharing this with everyone. For those that don't know this guy here made it look relatively painless.That's what highly skilled professionals do. Make it look easy. Hey, thanks again. Great work.
That's great to hear and thanks for the kind words. I've done this a lot and each one is different. There are NO manuals anywhere for this and none of the manufacturers offer any type of instruction or tips. The guys who complain never have any videos or followers. I do the best I can to share my experience and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Man , I owe you one! I've got to replace a big double receiving door In a concrete block wall.
I'm comfortable with wooden doors , but i've never really done much with commercial and your video was excellent!
Excellent content with nothing skipped like you said , excellent camera work and excellent dialogue and audio.
My friend, you are that rare combination of somebody who not only knows what they are doing but also cares about the job. Your customers are truly blesed!
Wow, that's quite a mouthful. I truly appreciate that and I'm glad I could help. I've gained a lot of knowledge from others on here and I've also done a lot of discovery on my own. I'm happy to pass on whatever tips I can offer. Also, you might be the first to ever say "great camera work." Most complain that it's too shaky and they have no idea how hard it is to simply do this work, let alone do it with one hand while filming. Thanks for watching and good luck in your ventures.
Excellent video of a skilled craftsman doing a great installation. Its really refreshing when I see people who KNOW what they are doing.
You're far too kind, and I appreciate those words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
As a fellow door and window guy for the past 30 years I applaud your work. Exactly how I do these although thankfully not many come up.
Hey that's great to hear. I've had a business in CA and TN. Lots of old commercial buildings in CA and I did these because nobody else would. In TN I have done one in years and don't miss them. It's good to know there's someone else out there who understands how challenging these are. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Great video with clear straight forward instructions. Thank you verymuch.
You're welcome. I'm not sure there's an ideal way to do these and I've approached door manufacturers who had no instruction to offer and it seems that it's just a matter of doing your best to get it in. Glad you found it helpful and thanks for watching.
Great video, I am installing the same door on my shop. I’m just wondering if you install an aluminum threshold in that scenario? Or do you just leave it as is? Thanks keep up the good work
Glad you found it helpful. We did install a threshold here as this was required, however, sometimes it depends. The surfaces can be uneven or not big enough to accommodate one. It's up to you. Thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Happy to share the things I've learned. Thanks for watching.
I’ve done a lot of doors in new construction with poured concrete frames..well as you can imagine the framers didn’t do it perfectly so if the door had a tight reveal like the one in this video I couldn’t take the frame out to grind a recess..well I’d take a short self tapping screw and screw it in the hinge mortise close to the door stop not the outside of mortise where hinge knuckle is..this kicks the hinge out a little by the stop & will give you a bigger reveal..sounds crazy to add a screw,you’d think it would make it worse but it don’t..the only downside is it makes the door hinge bound a little but if it has a closer you can’t tell it’s hinge bound..really that’s the only choice
Yes it sounds like you know what you're doing. As you're well aware, you never know what you're going to encounter with the commercial doors and concrete and it's up to us to figure out a way to get it done. Good thinking. thanks for sharing
You should make a video about that
Thank you sir! I'm doing the same job with a commercial double steel door installed in block. One door has no handle... The original door was built out using concrete and the rough opening is 2 inches wider than the frame. I'd be grateful for any tips for this! I'm thinking I'll need to build this out by fastening 2 x 6's all around, yes/no? Thank you in advance!
Yes. I would use lag shields and lag screws to fasten 2x6's to the wall first and that will give you a nice clean state to start. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Thanks!! Top quality work
Thanks for watching. I have another similar vid in the works with a few more insights and tips.
Great Video! I have done this many times before I retired. Can You make a pre-video to this one? how to cut the opening in a break wall where there isn't one and install the metal frame and door. I have also done this; but it is hard to explain. A video would be so much better.
Thanks for watching. I've never attempted to cut open a brick wall and I wouldn't do it if hired because there's too much liability. Once open, the portion above would have to be supported by a lintel and there are codes, loads, requirements etc associated that I'm not familiar with and wouldn't want to get involved in. I can do that in a wood wall because I know the codes and procedures for reframing, but I don't know how to do that in masonry.
Great video
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
You should have shown the hinge side before you ground down the brick. My first reaction was check the hinge side if it needs shimmed.
I check everything thoroughly, but I can't always show everything while making these videos because as you can see, I'm actually working. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Next time get a mason to grind that brick down for you! You guys messed that brick up badly!. Great install on the door though!
LOL. Sub out the masonry. That's hilarious. Our work was outstanding, appreciated, and well compensated. But please post a video of YOUR work. I'd love to see it. Thanks for watching.
I wish I came across your videos 4 years ago. I joined the Air Force as a 3E3 which basically means handyman/construction. We come across all sorts of commercial doors that need to be replaced but being a young airman with poor training. It was always a pain in the butt. I’ve saved so many videos from your channel as I learned a lot more the past hour of watching than the last 4 years. Thank you.
That's great to hear. I couldn't find anything anywhere when it came to replacing these, so I just dug in and started taking them apart, so I'm happy to share my knowledge. I'm glad you found it helpful and thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
@@askillthatpays where can I get those squeeze hinges? Or what are they called? Because I'm doing this exact job, now, and need those to make sure there's no issues with the door
Great video!! How much does one typically charge for this?
For this exact procedure I would charge $1800-$2000 in Los Angeles and $600-$900 in Nashville. I've run door businesses in both cities. Thanks for watching.
Great video, where do you find these doors
Thanks for your feedback. Here's a video that explains how and where to get commercial steel doors depending on your need. Thanks for watching.

What screws are you using... Cause I cant find lag screws only lag bolts....
I can find lag botls but no lag screws....
I think lag bolts wont look well and give it that nice finish
The lag screws come in various finishes included gold and green. The green are exterior grade and match nicely with these types of doors. They are available in the Depot but don't look in the lag screw and bolt bins. They are in the exterior fasteners sections usually near deck screws. Look for the SPAX brand. And thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
Absolutely you do great work. Im getting ready to do my first commercial door... I do alot of residential stuff so I was typically wondering if you can use regular sheet metal screw in those lag shields?
Whats the depth from the predrilled entry hole to the face of the block ? Are you using about 3 1/2" or 4" length screw ?
how much did you charge?
I don't recall as that was just one of about 8 doors we replaced in that building and it was several years ago, but it took two of us 6 hours to complete. Thanks for watching.
Id like to learn how to install commercial doors professionally, where do i learn?
That's great to hear. I searched for training and couldn't find anything in CA, TN or TX. I'm not sure it exists and all my knowledge comes from just trying to do it. I would recommend looking for commercial door installation company in your area or commercial door supplier and offer to work as a helper. They often have big jobs where they need muscle to help move doors and that would be a great way to learn. good luck and thanks for watching.
I have been doing commercial doors for almost 10 years. Trust me there are more than enough job opportunities for the commercial door industry. We can't find enough people and our workload is way too much for the few installers we do have. So much so me and another guy in our company are branching off from the company we work for and doing work as subcontractors. Going rate here in Florida is $1300 A DAY if you are knowledgeable in commercial door industry.
Where’s the security hindges
All customer provided equipment. In my experience, hinge pin removal to remove a door is a myth. Sounds great in theory. In 15 years of door repair and installation, I've never seen it done. It's too noisy and time consuming and really hard to do, and with a properly installed door, you can remove the pins and still not get the door off. Thanks for watching.
