How to Frame a New, Internal Door

There should be a video like this every Sunday. Its almost a part of weekly life now watching DIY on a Sunday morning

This is peak Proper DIY, great quality content, a little humour, top tips, relevant safety advice all resulting in a great end result that enables others to feel confident attempting the same project ! Cheers, Stuart !

This bloke is great. Really good stuff. Doing a great service for UK DIYers

I like the Sunday morning start times

I use the magnet trick as well but instead of just rubbing the magnet on the wall surface I put a piece of greaseproof paper between it and the wall to avoid marking the wall. I HATE PAINTING. Love your videos - practical and great presentation.

The socket magically disappeared 😉

What did you end up doing with the electrical in the end?

Excellent work sir. We’ve come a long way with the art of fitting doors , thanks to the development of power tools . Harkening back to when I started work back in the late 60s , it was a regular sight to see a joiner fit a door with the add of a hand axe. Only doing the final fitting with a hand plane . I’d don’t know it makes me sounds like I was born in the Victorian era . 😂. Kind regards as always 👍

Enjoyed the way Stuart can do these projects so elegantly. I would have smashed out the entire wall of sheetrock. I do have some vintage solid oak doors I am going to be hanging. I'll need to create new door frames because the old frames are flimsy mahogany veneer. The doors weigh a good 40 lbs. In the US they do not sell separate door frames or linings. So I will have to make my own. I have done this once before and did an ok job. My prior experience was hanging doors on my chicken coop. ugh those doors were hung very amateur. I learned a lot doing that. The chickens didn't comment.

The quality of this content is just outstanding! May we be blessed with many years of it!

Thanks stuart but a bit dissapointed. Normally your videos are so very detailed and step by step, i feel this video was a bit rushed and you missed a good bit ie. the electrical sockets relocation, the door jams install and the architrave installation. We all love your videos and happy to wait so no need to rush, big fan :)

Morning Stuart At 16:24, I observed that you had used some temporary blocks to prevent the door from falling while levelling it in the frame. It would be helpful to mention this step to your viewers so that they don't overlook it and end up with the door falling out of the frame, damaging either the door or nearby furniture.

Magical door stops appeared not mentioned?

Hi Stuart another great video, I was told by a joiner, put three parts of the barrel of the hinge on the frame and the two on the door to help stop squeaking later on, keep up the good work, G.

So what happened to the electric cables?

Stuart, your video's are top notch and perfectly edited with clear and thorough explanation of what you're doing, they're excellent for learning from with truly trustworthy content. Well done sire.

As easy as you made this look, this would put me out of my comfort zone.

I know this video was about making the door opening but it would have been nice to detail what you did with the wiring for the socket that was in the way thank you

The man is a professional 😂

Thank you Stuart , the timing of this video could not be better! I needed just this
