- Measuring tape [amzn.to/2WNrHOV]
- Circular saw [amzn.to/30r3foG]
- Drill/driver [amzn.to/2VvOsp8]
Steps for How to Install a Pre-Hung Interior Door:
1. Use a level to find a level spot on the rough opening. Mark spots on both sides of opening with a pencil.
2. Measure down to the floor on the hinge side using measuring tape, and note the measurement.
3. Measure down to the floor on the striker side, and note the measurement.
4. Hook the measuring tape on the bottom of the door on the hinge side, then measure and mark the height noted earlier.
5. Measure from your mark to the top of the header, then measure that same distance on the striker side to ensure the header will be level.
6. Hook the measuring tape under the striker-side jamb and measure up. The difference between the measurement from the rough opening to the mark on the doorjamb is the amount that will need to be cut out of the jamb (depending on the door, one or both jambs may need to be cut).
7. Use a circular saw to cut the jamb(s) to the desired lengths.
8. Use a level to ensure the rough opening is plumb on the hinge side. If not, nail an appropriate number of shims into the rough opening to make it plumb.
9. Move the door in place and keep it flush with the outer wall.
10. Pre-drill a hole and drive in a screw at the top on the hinge side.
11. Check the jamb to see if it’s plumb using a level.
12. Finish screwing in the hinge-side jamb using a driver.
13. Line up the two reference lines on the striker-side jamb.
14. Use shims down the hinge-side jamb to level it off, and drive in screws with a driver.
15. Break off the shims.
16. Put on trim using a nail gun or hammer.
17. Install door-knob hardware.

Now they should do a follow up episode where Justin goes back to his home planet and teaches everyone else how to hang a human door.
🤣
Ha! Poor guy was nervous as hell. That happens when the red light comes on
He just doing everything he can to hide the fact that he eats people
This comment killed me.
I’m cackling
I'm 100% positive Justin is a Machine.
GetGood no, just a bad actor
A robot or peewee herman 🤔
Or an android sent from the future or a great actor
I'm 98% positive he's Sheldon Cooper's evil twin.
I know a couple of people like that...
I THOUGHT I knew how to hang a pre-hung door and have done many in my time. I followed Tom's procedures here and hung 3 Interior doors in less than an hour - they hang perfectly!! Thanks Tom!!
@Alan Reynolds same here. Hung probably 75-100 doors in my time so far. But Tommy's way is great and I still do it this way
I'm right there with you - I almost feel inclined to share this video with my old boss who taught me how to hang doors - the part about tacking the shims prior to installation is honestly a revelation to me
Same. I always used to shim the hinge side with the door in place. What a waste of time. Though I don't own a 7' level, so gonna fix that or use one of my 4-ft's attached to a 2x4. And will be using reference lines henceforth.
There's still a inch difference underneath the door
@@tycobb8621 there's still a inch difference under the door
This man is about the only person I can listen to and completely understand what he's saying. Seriously. Thank you. I'm refurbishing my dad's house and am doing a pretty good job....because of these many videos. Yippie.
Could we just all use the metric system already? 7/16ths, 1/31nd. WTF?! Just use decimals America!
My dad built our house with help from his friends. He's just like Tom when it comes to carpentry and plumbing. The down side to me he's just like Chef Ramsay if you don't understand it the first time.
i can relate to that
Isn't everyone's father like that?
Keith Upton
+Kathryn Joyner Yes?
aha thats genius
"Thanks for the help Tom". Ya right. I think he means " Thanks for doing it for me Tom".
That's why I never learned anything as a kid. My grandpa would just do all the work and then say, "You got it, right?"
I didn't have it, but I love him anyways. Thankfully there's RUclips now.
I laughed too hard at this comment. 😂😂😂
It's not rocket science. You don't need to do it to learn
@@roberthughes2687well now since you brought up rockets …. I think our boo Justin here might have some expertise in that field 👽
"Came out really good, I love it" - and the academy award goes to...!
For those who are confused:
At 1:58, tommy says that his line is at 58-1/4” on the hinge side. He is referring to the level line on the Sheetrock NOT where he marked the door jamb. He measures 7/16” down from 58-1/4” to account for tile and thinset and marks there so he actually marks the jamb at 57-13/16” from the bottom. He simply measures from the top of the jamb on the hinge side (21” to line on jamb) in order to find the measurement necessary in order to level the header. Then, he transfers that same 21” to the striker side which will give him a level header. Since the hinge side had a shorter measurement, he must cut the hinge side to fit. Hope this helps, it is definitely confusing in the video.
Mr. Langdon do you know how much he cut off and why ?
Tbank you !
57 13/16, then since it was an inch out of level, 59 minus 57 13/16 is 1 3/16, but since the striker side was a quarter already still from the 59 1/4, 1/4 of that 7/16 is equaling it out, so really, a 3/16 of that 1 3/16 had to be taken into account for as extra height to be removed, so he only would've cut exactly an inch off, right? That would've given a perfect floor margin? Or is the original door height - the 7/16 to be 57 13/16 get transferred to the other jamb, and just cuts the inch out of level off. This is all assuming the gap on the striker side still has a 7/16 margin, when it didn't it was only a quarter, but where does that come into play?
There's nothing explaining the margin that already exists between the threshold area, bottom of door and jamb on the side that needs to be longer. shouldn't that be a variable?
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
This comment and @Paul Epling those numbers would be way easier to understand if you used metric
I love this because it’s genuine. No script at all. “ I love it”.
😂
Don't fuget, on the hinge side Tom meshad 58 and a quata!! Watchin Tom wurk is a Wicked pissah!
fuggetaboutit
0:55 Floor is not level, so mark a level reference line across rough opening

You left out 4:02. Mash finger in door.
Lmao I was like wait so he cut the jamb and then shimmed it? Lmao
This could be helpful
On the hinge side, why do you measure up from the bottom of the door, not from the bottom of the jamb?
It's cool that they helped Eminen hang that door
Android Toby Maguire bought a house?
Tom the only thing I missed is how much did you trim off the hinge side jamb in this example? I know the two sides were off by 1" and you accounted for flooring but I lost how you came to a trimmed length. Thanks
Agreed. Maybe it was that 1 inch?
This fella is displaying the definition of "Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast"
Was that old dude teaching Eminem how to install a door?
I've been doing interior doors the hard way my boss taught me. This video was pure enlightenment. My old boss used to get mad if I used reference lines. Turns out I had the right ideas and intentions and was scared away from it.
Wait, we have the same boss?
@@sciencebuddy4096 possibly 😂 granted he was smart but he had his way, and I had mine.
I've a need to meticulously dissect everything. He hated that.
That's why some bosses probably never hung doors before and think they know what they are doing and talking about.
The real proof is when they do a door all the way to the end and the door closes perfectly... To the end!
Homeowner: wow that's gonna take some work
Tom: Oh yeah
Reality: Takes Tom about 3 minutes lol
And homeowner didnt lift a finger
Mmmm jam
These things always seem like best case scenarios.
My house was built in the 70's. Seems everyone was high out of their mind while constructing it. I get it.
They are, I recently installed a door for a client man I've never seen a worst door opening really had to mess with the door jams to get it in, in the end it came out a bit tight
1" difference over that distance really isn't best case scenario...
Why can’t they teach stuff like this in school
If the floor is out 1" in less than 3' I'd be tearing that old house down and starting over. Seems like more issues than needing a simple reno.
Measure from the top of what the door, the jamb
It’s only one inch out of level in that respective area. The whole subfloor is probably 6+ inches out of level if it drops just one in in a 2 foot span
What type of drill bit is that at 7:03?
Recently, we replaced a 20 year old prehung, prefinished flush door because the previous door had a cat door cut into it. To our surprise the new replacement door (32”x80”) had the exact same hinge hinge placement as the old one. We originally planned to remove the oak trim from both sides and remove the old jam from the frame. However, all we had to do was to remove the old door at the hinges and reinstall the new door with the old matching hinges. The door fit like a glove! You’ve gotta luv industry standards that stand the test of time.
is that the real slim shady?
Paul Cassidy Shim Shady
Lost. Lol. Why didn’t he just run a level line at the top and measure to the floor on each side and transfer those to cut the jamb? Seems like a lot of steps.
level the floor first especially under the door area and install the tile then install the door so the gap under the door is not ugly
Travis B problem is.. he gaped it to a unfinished floor. Now when they put flooring down they will have to trim door bottom.
I've been in the Bizz for almost 30 years, new houses. Trim/doors first then tile. Leveling the floor is the flooring guys job. Better to have a level door to begin with.
The video was made for floor without tile. Period! Installation of the tile has nothing to do with Technics to install door. These Technics are great.
@@Gitarzan66 leveling the floor is the slab pourer's job. Problem is, we've become accustomed to their shoddy work.
I dont mind doing it. It pays decent if its extreme enough to be a mud job. With flooring, I'm more concerned with the surface being flat than level. A significant distinction.
In less severe cases, I charge $50/hour plus materials to screed thinset or leveling compound.
Not a total newbie but I’m lost at 1:58.
1. Why do you measure from the bottom of the door on one side and the bottom of the jam on the other?
2. How did you determine how much to cut off from the hinge side of the door?
I understand you’re accounting for the unlevel floor and tile but the measurements are where I’m getting confused. Anyone else?
perfect video. I love how Tom is so calm and methodical, makes it so easy to understand!
You don’t see him between takes 6 and 7 😂
Everyone's a expert,why are you watching how to videos then.
LMAO!!!!!! GOOD POINT!
Savage jus rekt all of u
Tim Kalal because there is more than one way to skin a cat 🐱
To feel high and mighty from their Craigslist advertised handyman chair.
Because he's talking about the concrete floor
Nice video includes showing how to correct errors in frame/floor. Thanks.
I knew I should have listened in math class.....
Lol.
Justin is from Jordan Schlansky’s home planet.
good to see Tom sharing his library of knowledge with the kids, we need more kids doing this.
Not a carpenter, but there's gotta be an easier way than measuring all that stuff if you're gonna make adjustments with shims anyway right? You're gonna adjust for leveling and plumb before you screw in anyway, seems likes this was made to confuse people.
I agree, he does over complicate it by making those reference marks. Just check how level the floor is and either shim or scribe accordingly. Plus those deck screws are total over kill! Even if it is an exceptionally heavy door, it pays to conceal the big screws behind the stop and/ or run long screws through the hinges.
All this made sense until he shimmed the bottom at the end. I thought all the measurements and cutting the hinge jamb side accounted for the need to shim... What am I confused about?
Because he added extra space for the tile under the door, there was space that allowed the door to sag on the handle side (left) and thus his line didn't match until he shimmed.
And likely he took those shims out after the striker side was screwed so tile could be later later.
Great tips. Concise and to the point. Out of about a dozen videos I saw; Tom's the only one who actually plumbs and measures BEFORE drilling and setting jamb; what a pro. And thanks for the tip :)
He is very confusing. How does he measure up from the bottom of the door 58 1/4 and adds another 7/16 for tile and yet, his JAM marking matches up to the reference line he put the drywall initially, keep in mind, he measured up from the door and marked it.
Then later, he goes 'we don't have to cut the striker side cause we have a 1/4 of an inch? Where does he get that number? So confusing. Awful video.
I've built houses for a living and I can't understand this???? Craftsman Definitely!!!! Teacher Definitely Not!!!
As a professional I must say I’ve never seen an interior door hung with screws. Even 8’ solid core. If a jamb is adequately shimmed in an opening then finish nails are plenty to hold the door in place. After casing is installed then the door isn’t going anywhere.
Agreed! Finally someone else in these comments who agrees. I was like, man are they going to hang a thousand pounds on that door?!? And all those screw holes through the jamb! I remove a screw in the middle of the hinge and replace it with a 2" to match on all three hinges and tack the striker plate side with air gun brads that leave a tiny hole to fill. Once the trim is tacked to the jamb, you could hang on that door all day.
I want to know what countersunk drill bits he's got, those look nifty
It's a tapered countersink bit, designed for wood screws.
Thank you! Thank you! After 3 generations of bedroom doors I have finally learned how to hang a door properly thanks to your video! Excellent tutorial! :)
Your bot supposed to have a inch difference underneath the door
What size counter sink and screws are you using to mount the frame?
This is what I'm here for!
So, this is pretty confusing and not well explained in the video. I calculated this out for over an hour, and my math is correct:
- He adds 7/16" to 58 1/4" on hinge side. Hinge side jamb cut to the ref mark now on the jamb should be 58 11/16" in total length (remember we don't know how much he has to cut yet, just what length should be. Some people are saying subtract but no, at 58 1/4" the door would be flush to floor, take any more length off the jamb and game over)
- We would want the strike side to be 59 11/16" due to 1" difference in floor height.
- However, jamb ref point on striker side is only 59" in length to bottom of jamb.
- This means that we're missing 11/16" from the jamb on the striker side. (He mentions in the video that "we're only missing 1/4" which is fine for tile." This is incorrect. Remember he added 7/16" for spacing at the bottom of the door, so we're using completely different ref marks at this point. We're not measuring on the door frame anymore, only the jamb)
- Since ref marks are same on both sides, we now know that the uncut length on the hinge side is 59" also from the ref mark.
- This means we need to cut 5/16" off of the hinge side jamb, assuming the jambs are the same length.
- At this point, the hinge side would be resting on the floor and the striker side would be 11/16" off the floor and the ref marks on the jambs would match those on the frame.
- If you wanted to add space to tile under on the hinge side, then you'd have to cut an additional 1/4", so instead of 5/16" cut off, it'd be 9/16" to cut off.
Look at 3:09 in the video, no way in hell that is 7/16" from bottom of door to jamb. That's why when he shims the bottom of the striker side at 5:47 it looks way closer than 11/16" from jamb to floor.
this is what I don't understand as well. It looks like he shimmed up what he just cut off of the jamb.
I read all this to understand and still confused cause I seen him cut the hinge side that already was lower. But I think I got it now lol
"came out really good, I love it"
He didn't have to cut the frame down. Had a lot of space above the door. Now he will have to under cut the door when he does the tile.
Could a novice do this by following the video? Would it work or be a complete disaster?
This helped me and fiancé hang a door with absolutely 0 experience. Thank you so much
Love this. I'm a part-timer DIY and my method would have taken an hour longer. Done in a snap.
This homeowner is just like “durrr” the whole time
Very helpful...thanks guys!!
This video was so helpful. I'm terrible at this kind of stuff, but I was able to install my door and it works great. I'm grateful for these guys.
There's still a inch difference underneath the door
Tom is good but a little bit lacking in detail explaining on carpentry methods. I really like you tube channel " this is carpentry" explains more on his methods in detail which benefits the diyer. For example that the smallest measurement is the hight point which may seem common to the skilled carpenter, but not the diyer. I would say channel " this is carpentry" is the scanner danner of carpentry. Lol ! Did yall see what i did there. Beep beep. Lol
thank you teacher, you with your videos have contributed to me putting bread on my childrens table,thanks a lot
..and this is why I hire people.
No idea what this man is talking about.
yikes, its an inch out of level at 30" i can only imagine how much across the whole room..
lSAMV31l yeah imagine doin tile in there lol
In another 30" it returns to level. So overall, the room is nice and level :)
My whole living room was 2 inches out from one corner to the other. One inch from just a door? Holy smokes!
It's a great place to have ball bearing races.
That's what I was thinking lol. Only thing I know that crooked in so few inches is my ding dong
He should have cut the door to match the floor angle also. Otherwise it accentuates the out of level floor. I also wouldn't put screws through the door stops. These are Home Depot type of jambs with the stops milled in one piece with the jambs. I would prefer separate stops and to hide the nails/screws behind the stops. I would put screws through the hinges, and not the stops. It makes for more work. I measure the floor level and cut the jamb to fit flat in the floor as high as possible to avoid trimming the door if possible, but sometimes you have to, and it looks better when done if you match the floor to door gap evenly. Also, sometimes you cannot set a door perfectly plumb in an old house. It makes it look terrible. If the house is leaning, set the door to match the walls next to it.
it was being tiled after installation of doors. no gap seen
the old house is the man make learn understand very very simple
thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much for your valued videos that helped me very much
Aya Noah HURRRRP
A little confusing................@2:06 you slid your tape down..7/16's...............@ what measurement did your mark end up from floor.? Did not appear to affect your marking! Explain please! Thanks for the video.........much appreciated!!
This guy makes a lot of conclusions from experience in his head that never comes out of his mouth. The biggest gap is between his jamb measurement, conclusions, then suddenly cutting the other side at what measurement???
Cutting the other side or hinge side to allow for the door to have enough space or gap so the door itself wouldn't get stuck to the tiles that's why he went down 7/16. Look at the section when the tape measure goes beyond the bottom of the door. He didn't need to cut the striker side since he will have enough space for the door to swing open once the tiles are installed. Common mistake ppl do is install the door without accommodating for carpet, tiles or hardwood floors and then they have to cut a strip from the bottom of the door. Tom is just preplanning for these accommodations.
Now Justin has a new closet to hide the bodies. Thanks, Tom!
On the next episode of this old house Tom shows Justin how to install sound proofing on the inside of the closet.
Love all the episodes aired throughout the years! Wondering if you can do an episode demonstrating how to switch the hinges of an interior door to be on the inside of a room rather than the outside (wrong side in our fixer upper) of the room as well as the direction the door will then have to swing? Thank you for your ethics, good humor, sharing of soooooooooooo much knowledge and expertise! Much respect!
A very comforting voice saying "you got this. I'll be here next to you the whole time."
I now feel ready for this job.
Nice job. I thought, however, you first fill the holes and then prime. That way there is no flashing or dull spot where the filler was.
What is the point of cutting if you are shimming the striker side from the bottom. I'm an absolute newbie at home renovation, so this is all new to me.
Tipical americam building!!!! LMAO!!! what a F* shame!!!!!
In Europe, if there is a discrepancy of 0.5 cm, they will tell you goodbye, we will no longer work with you. And this is putting it mildly... but here it’s 2.5 cm and NORMAL!!!!!
Sheldon Cooper or Toby Maguire? No, my first thought was Eminem. Someone mentioned Elijah Woods, so yeah. Great video tho. Not exactly what I was looking for but it helped. Now going to watch Home RenoVision DIY, to see three ways to hang a prehung door.
Why install the hardware before the sanding and painting is done ?
It's a prehung door...
Jambs are 1/2 inch longer than the door. You just can't cut off one inch from the jamb without making the door shorter. Look at the bottom of the door at 3:10 it was cut probably at an angle. They deleted this from the video. Why?
If you're on concrete slab you might want to put a shim under both sides to keep the door off the concrete.
Tile was to be installed.
Nice job Tom nice job!!
How’s much did you cut off the jam?
Disike because you didn’t show how to natch off the shimmies
Take a razor knife and cut them flush
The cheaper and faster way is to install the trim onto the front side of the door jamb before hanging up and nail the trim into the wall, then go in and shim and screw the jamb. It may be the C student way, but i got up 15 doors in a day that way. You would basically be using the trim on the door like the "quick door hanger" product.
Yep
Yup, then you`re coming back in 1 year to rehang every door after it has settled, lol
How can you possibly do the trim first and get your reveal to be spot on?? This is NOT the better way to install in my opinion. If you want a professional/proper trim reveal, then you mark/measure your reveals, AFTER the door is installed to put on trim.
Split jam doors are typically done this way, but it doesn’t typically give you the best result as far as level goes and isn’t very adjustable. Doing it the way Tom does allows for a precise placement of the door. Nailing the casing might fly on production homes but will not work for high end custom homes.
@@billy9043 adjustable square set to 1/4 inch trace inside of pre-hung jamb on both sides of door. I dont condone pre-trimming any door but anything is doable
Why did you measure from the bottom of the door on the hinge side, but measured on the bottom of the jamb on the other side?
I'm a little confused because he said he was going to transfer his first measurements to the door jam so he can cut 1" difference on each side . I'm sure he knows what he is doing ,but I would like to understand his method. Why is he going through all this if he already knows what he is going to cut which he mentioned in the beginning.?
Why would you hang the doors before the floor tile is down
Or before the sheetrock is finished
It’s called a remodel
Sorry but that's not the proper steps in a "remodel". Pretty sure we know it's a "remodel", I do this for a living.
Why 7/16s if you said a 1/4 inch would be good? Also so you just lowered the door but there's still a inch difference underneath it? Why not re level the house?
i dont mean to knit pick but since im working for a perfectionist, your reveal on all sides of the door (when closed) is off... from the point of view of the videographer i can see that the top left corner reveal is about 1/4in going to about less than an 1/8th on the hinge side... also the bottom hinge side looks almost tight to the jamb.. when this wood expands thats going to be immediately noticeable.. just because the hinge side framing is plum does not mean that the back end of the same board is as well.. this is where twisted jambs come from..
my perfect door would have been hung by 3:57. Sorry Tom, you took too long; And what's with the reference lines? Unneeded step.
Gandalf Mantooth you don't even need screws .a nail gun will do.its not like your hanging a solid wood or metal door that has some weight. it's just a Masonite door
Sure, I don't mean to be too critical. I'm an old trim contractor, and if there's one thing I know, there's more than one way to do most things. Including hanging doors. I've hung (i don't want to exaggerate() hundreds of doors, probably nearing 1000, so I'm probably just set in my ways. Out of that 1000, I've screwed -up my share too.
I’ve always held my jambs with 18 gauge pin nails and then once the door is plumb and true with good reveals, use can foam to hold. Highly underestimated way of holding a door
This video is really bad. I'm sure he knows what he's doing but the explanation isn't clear.
Nice video,Good instalation.home owner should under pin foundation(slope in floor is worrying )😊
Trying to hang my first door. Followed this video multiple times and honestly I can't figure it out. So how much did he cut off the one side? An inch which is how much the floor was out of level? There are a lots of better instructions on the internet than this one. Wasted my time.
Yup I was all good and confident until he switched on me on which side he was cutting on the jams.
How long did it take Justin to memorize his lines??
How much did he cut off the door jam? So that it's flush with the door or did he account for the 7/16" in that cut?
I've been reading the comments for the answer
The exact measurement is unsure. Whatever the length was from the bottom of the jamb to the bottom of the door minus 7/16(spacing for tile under the door) is what he cut off.
Good 0:00/7:03
Good 0:00/7:03
You have to do all that just to hang a door? Can't they put adjustment casters like they have on the bottom of refrigerators so you can adjust the height as needed. No wonder contractors are charging a small fortune...homeowners are clueless.
In an alternate universe where Slim Shady never built up the courage to do rap battles and instead bought a shitty house that his uncle's trying to help him fix up.
Missing information that is critical. What measurement was used to cut the hinge side. That info was completely omitted. He just cut it with zero definition as to where.
Yes he did, but you have to know basic math. he stated the distance to the floor plus the thickness of the tile.
To get the amount cut off the jam he measured 58 1/4 " down from the 21" mark he had put on the jam and cut off the excess. That step was not shown in the video. C'mon Tom show it all !
I'm building a closet and can't figure out whether to put the shelves in first or put the door in first. I watched the video where they put the shelves for this closet in: ruclips.net/video/wNQJXdqthmo/видео.html
I can't figure out from either video how the door trim fits around the shelf cleat on the right side. Did they cut the trim? Did they build the cleat so it was a bit short? Wouldn't it be easier to put the door in first and then fit the cleat to that?
Really? Exposed screws?
Seen 10 vids so far. This one's best explained
It came out really good I love it.
Put your casing on the door before hanging it. Than hang the door nail it than put shims in and screw it. Easiest way to hang a door. This clown is making a career out of this
Can anyone share what the bit that he used is called and what size as well as the corresponding screws and size? It’s not listed in the description
