Wow, one of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen! Short and sweet, clear and concise. Well done!!

In a world that thinks they can make instructional videos you sir are making great concise understandable instructional videos. Thank you! I have a door like this I am replacing at my shop, I do small repair and remodel work. I have the confidence to tackle any project and I now feel I have everything I need to get this done right. Keep making more! Who knows, If all goes well I may start doing more of these myself on the side!

Hey hey. Thanks for those kind words. In the early stage of contracting career, I'd come across tasks for which I simply couldn't find any instruction, even from manufacturers, so even though my stuff might not be perfect, I'm trying to lend a hand to others who want to learn, and thanking the others who've helped me along the way. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

It's hard to say what is "correct," as there's no information available on how to do such a thing, and since most cases are different, you simply have to get it in there somehow. This is the method I use. I'm glad it helped and thanks for watching.

@@askillthatpays I served a 4 year apprenticeship, including night classes with Carpenters Union 668 in Palo Alto California when I was not much more than a boy. Early on, I had some old school journeymen that were very good mentors; a few were outstanding. This foundation was very valuable. As journeymen and as years went by we fed off each other to develop high skills. Obtaining contractors license opens up another huge bucket of variables and responsibilities. Lights go on when we see jobs like this metal door; it is in our blood bro. It feels weird and sad for me, as I have no one to pass all my valuable skills to.

good video. that's pretty much what a normal door frame looks like in some countries. normally you remove the old one with a hammer and chisel or a hammer drill, then get the door in place (the door is closed for this). trick of the trade they leave the plastic wraping of the door on (just the door but not the frame , otherways it will get covered with mortar later on). check for plomb. then may be a couple lagbolts or just rebar going inside the cinderblocks and then fill teh frame with mortar from the sides. if the gap at the sides is too small you use a chisel to enlarge it. if it's too big you add brick pieces. that gap and the top you just get whole red bricks in there and mortar untill the gap is gone. with this method you can't open the door for like 24hs minimun depending on the weather it might be 48hs, unless you use rapid cement.

Look into something called a Security Astrigal instead of that plate to secure the lock hardware on the edge of the door. It rins the entire length of the door and also doesn't require you cut the ASA strike plate (but those are easy to replace). Pemko makes the Astrigals. You'd chop it to size then through bolt it onto the door. I'm a locksmith and watching your vidoes on slushed metal frames tells me why I don't quite expand my work into full-service door work.

@askillthatpays Ай бұрын

Congrats. That sounds fun. It's hard to give exact pricing because I have to look at the logistics. Parking, stairs, are the doors staged or am I carrying them to location, wraparound or welded frame. And of course I'd give a big discount for bulk because day 1 is always awkward and sluggish and might only get one door done. By day 3 you're cruising because you figure out a system. I like to price per door. Of course nobody has an endless budget but depending on how hard they are to install, I'd say $200 per is a good starting point. With that many you might even propose doing the first 5 for X amount and then agree on a per door price going forward. Don't be afraid to ask for what you're worth because nobody else is going to be able to do that job, that's why they contacted YOU. Good luck and thanks for watching.

@askillthatpays 4 ай бұрын

Didn't have to cut the concrete in the frame other than the first cut. Once you score it somewhere, it all peels off easily. Not sure what you mean by screws are "apparent." Visible? Yes, from the inside. If they were outside and accessible I would strip them, however, in 15 yrs of my door business, I've never seen a break in in which someone took apart a door or hinges in some manner, even if it was accessible. Thanks for watching.

Ok thanks for responding I was wondering how for example you break it where the metal rebar was, as it is meant to be strong! Also yes, I was talking about the visible screws, I understand that there is no other way tho, but the problem was not someone taking it off, it's just that the screws stick out a little bit. And btw, is it an option to pour concrete in the framing for the 2nd door also? Isn't that easier?

That's not a bad idea and I've done it, but it's very challenging. I ended up mixing very loose mortar and pouring it in with a hose and funnel. Really messy and hard to do. Here's another idea. Add extra screws to the inside of the frame. In addition to putting them in the middle of the jamb like I did, drill some holes on the side of the jamb that's inside the building and install Tapcon screws. It's not as hard to do and it will frustrate anyone trying to destroy the jamb. Thanks for watching

That is what i dislike about contractors be it construction or excavation. They never do it right or half ass. These steel doors an frames only come primed no paint finish. They install the door an walk away. When your contract says complet door frame install an finnish. Same with the sheet metal wood frame house doors the wood frame and sheet metal is only a primer not a finish coat. I stay pant all the doors an frames in the shop first.. i love it when i give a price but cutomer calls in the cheap guy.. they never do it right or leave unfinished and a mess. Then they call me to fix it. Now it cost them 3 times what i qoutes because i dont know what they did or didnt do so i am going to pull it a part.. i dont like useing screww in the jam. To easey to be removed. I use large stainless steel huck rivits pulls it in tight and no way they come loss or out. I also put weather stripping on the fold of the steel frame were it hits the cement or wood frame. Calk peals off in know time an leaks an bugs get in.. i do calk it as well but a heavy rubber weather strip you cant beat. Insects get in every tiny crack
