      A real carpenter will hang any door in any way needed. These pre hung doors are for building sites full of odd jobbers . Didn’t you see how far away the final shot was, it was so that you didn’t see the massive gaps around the door and how uneven they are

    The long screws should be behind the hinge. Just in case if painters pull out all the screws the jamb is still set.

      ​@Tekagi here's your logical explanation for putting it behind the hinges: the screws are color matching to the hinges, looks better than the drywall screws or green decking screws the carpenter pulls out of his truck

    Here is some pro tips from a finish carpenter, maybe it’s helpful? Once the door is hung and in place remove middle hinge leaf jam side and behind the leaf put in a 3” good screw like a GRK. That way if painters come behind you & remove the door it’s not a problem of your jam flexing/ moving from hanging / rehanging a door causing hinge sag. You can do the top also if you’re hanging a new door in an old jam and it’s solid core.
    On pre hungs I use a system called ez hang its fast , simple and never had a call back ! In fact I have come back and removed the old wall where the ez hangs were & still perfect After several yrs of a Setting of lots of use !
    Use a 15ga ! Not a 16 ga to set jams they were made exactly for that in trim carpentry 🔨 because the are way more beefier and thus increasing sheer strength/ sags ! Do not shim behind your hinge ! Rookie move! Those cedar or composite shims will move and crack behind a hinge ! 3/6” above and below if needed 6” down from top & 8”/12” above bottom of door if shimming !
    If you do doors buy a door stud ! Or hv a door hang like the one Gary Katz uses ( see his videos).
    Hope this helps boys & girls !

  • @TheCardDeal
    @TheCardDeal Год назад +1

    I go all 3 screws at each hinge, couple extra minutes but well worth it as it prevents future maintenance at the hinges. Those pre hung frames rent the best material so the longer screws is an added step worth the time.

  • @joehannock761

    take it to the next level...triangulate 3 16d galvanized casing nails around each hinge, 1 on top of hinge, 1 below the hinge and 1 in front of hinge. Eliminate all those finish pin nails, those fasteners will sag and fail as a home settles over time. Complete the other jamb side using 2 16d galvanized casing nails where shims are required. This door nailing style will insure decades of solid door install with no door sagging.
    Yep its labor intensive and more expensive. I installed my exterior and interior doors in this manner for 30 years and never had a callback.
    I learned from old school finish carpenters who hated doing things twice and hand pounded everything. Pneumatic tools have changed everything including this lost art of solid nailing.

    Only small issue I see. Generally I open the hinge plate for the 2 1/2 inch anchor screw. Because painter is going to remove your screw from the hingle, wrack your frame and the it's your later problem. Flipping the hingle and countersunk screw under the hinge will remain forever. Takes an additional 2 minutes per door, but I never have to return to a job I did.

  • @rjcontra

    For the last 52 years. If the pre hung door did not come with casing on one side, then we install casing first on one side then hang the door nailing the casing first. Then shims then the other side casing. We have never used a level. Only because the ceiling might not be level or the adjacent wall the door hits up against. Same out come with way less work.
