Spring Loaded Door Buck (door holder stand)

- Here is a pair of Spring Loaded Door Bucks (door holder stand) I put together so I can mortise out for the hinges on some interior doors.
The spring loaded door bucks open and close on their own with the help of a large elastic band located under the base, these are held in place with two recessed 1/4" bolts, which allows the door bucks to open and close automatically when placing the door down on the bucks and when you remove the door. I had to add two small 3//4" blocks on the bottom side to give the elastic band more tension because they did not open and close on their own on the first try.
The rest of these are made using scraps of plywood I already had on hand.
Let me know if you have any questions about this project.

Funny, even with the description I didn't know what it was until he put the door in it. Clever idea.
Yes, thank you, its really nice not to have to bend down over and over to get the doors in and out!
Nice movie but why the terrible music ??
Sorry about that……. Just turn down the volume and everything will be fine! Thanks for your input, I appreciate you!!!
I found the 7" bands here. www.zoro.com/roadpro-heavy-duty-bands-7-size-rubber-pk5-rp7band/i/G8094311/
That's great! Those are the exact ones I used for the door holders, thanks for sharing the link!
Excellent job mate, unfortunately you're restricted to a certain door width because it's not adjustable, not criticising, just saying. 👍
Yes you are correct, I made it to accept the narrower doors because it's what I needed at the time......thanks fir your input!👍
Where did you get the bands from
They carry them at most truck stops, they are used to secure cargo straps for flat bed trucks, you can order them from a company called “Northgate Cargo Control” a package of 5 costs $3.99!
That's pretty smart
Thanks so much!
Elegant--I can think of uses other than doors, too.
These were real time savers and made the whole project go so much easier, thanks!
Its pretty cool that it opens and closes automatically
looks great but how stable is the door when its in it? enough to work on easily?
It's very stable, it doesn't move at all, its locked in pretty tight!......thanks!
Nice there are tons of holders for 13/4 " commercial doors but few for interior doors.
Yes it was the same for me so this is what I came up with ...... thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
put some felt on the edges of it, so it protects the door when you insert it in.
That's a great idea...... thanks!
You can buy ready made ones as cheap as chips, they work a treat, not only for doors, but sheet material, glass etc!
robert mitchell .... yes this is true or if you have a bunch of scrap wood you can make them for next to nothing.......
I wouldn't call 26 quid each cheap as chips.
@@briain_odonnghaile paper round money!
@robert mitchell, or an hours graft. Have you a link to the ones you're talking about robert?
Any links to the pre-made ones? I don't have the time to hunt for an elastic band that large!
What is the name of this elastic, or where did you buy it ??
I brought a package of them at at truck stop, they are used to hold cargo straps for the flatbed trailers. Thanks!
