It would seem to me that all you guys explaining how to install a hinge you would mention where to locate the center of the pivot point of the hinge. Do you center the pivot point between the but and the door,? Or line the side the the pivot pin to the door? No one is taking the time to enplane how to properly locate the pivot point.
Hi, it goes between the door and the door frame. Don't locate any moving parts on the door or on the door frame as it will restrict its movement and make the door stiff.
@@CastinstyleCoUk That's true, which is why I'm surprised to see that in your video you did exactly what you said not to do, in other words the pivot position of the hinge is fully on the door, not aligned with the space between door and jamb!
Excellent question, and one many people have and no one seems to address. And like Max says, this video does it exactly the opposite of what they advise to do in their response to your question. Ha.
I’m building a “ barn door” style door for a small storage unit. The opening is only 19 1/2” wide by 24” high. I’m planning on using an old set of blacksmith made t hinges for it. Since it’s such a small door, can I get away with using decorative nails ( rose head style) instead of screws?
Most T-Hinges are setup for looks and typically both sides are installed flat on the outside of the door and frame. This is a setup for failure. The rectangular piece of the hinge has screws pretty much on one line thus causing the wood of the frame where it is attached to fracture/crack with the weight of the door. The rectangular piece should be installed in the door-jamb where pull forces will be acting on the screws and not shear (side) ones.
Hi Tim. It doesn't show on the end of the video, but you just need to cut a bit of the architrave so it fits nicely around the hinge. It's just fitted this way as it wouldn't be secure enough if it was fitted on top of the architrave.
wasnt expecting the ps1 music

You get the forged looking hinge and hide the plate under architrave?

Hi, can you show how to notch the trim ? Thanks
The hinge should be on the brace not the door, looks terrible...
Had to watch without the plinky-plonky music.
Best of others
Nice video
Horrible music,
Silence is ok, we do not need to be bombarded with crap noise all the time.
Try the mute feature 👍
@@TheCaptaincarnage or, and here is an idea, simply do not post videos with shitty music, to social media.
Thanks
Woodglut is nice for that.
