While it isn't holding much of a load above the door in this scenario, I would have framed the top bracing piece up first and then put the vertical 2x4's up afterwords, sitting on the top of the shorter 2x4's. The 2x4's would have supported the top header and would have prevented any future sagging or settling issues.

Exactly the video I was looking for. Thanks.

This only video that shows exactly how to add a door in dry wall top of stairs ty so much for this man, this is gonna make my life a whole lot easier.

Thank you, this is very helpful. I couldn’t find a video that explained this anywhere!

Thank you for the video! It's just what I need to do at my house and now I feel that I can after watching this!

I have been searching for a video showing how to do this for a while thank you

great video, been look for a vid like this one for close to a year. Thank you

Thank you for this video. Easy to follow and exactly what I needed.

Thank you for this video This is going to help my husband and install a door

This is awesome - just what I was looking for to do the same in a halway. Thank you for the instruction.

Thanks for this! Getting ready to tackle the same project and couldn’t find any videos!

This video is a life saver ! Thank you sooo much🙏🏼

Great tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

very helpful, looking to do a very similar job, couldnt find anything online showing what you are showing! Great video!

YES! YES! YES! I finally found it! Thank You

Thank you much for this video 🙏 couldn't find anything like this online glad I found this video very helpful

The video ive been looking for!!!! Thank you sir!!!

The perfect video for my project !

Great Vid, guy! Would love to see the custom grill on top of the door though. Looking to do a very similar project

Thanks for doing this video. I will be trying this with the help of my brother.

Thank you so much! I was looking for this video!

Great vid. Question though. Would it be better to put the top stud on first and put the side studs would go under it to help support the top since there is no Stud on the other side of the Sheetrock?

Great job! Can you do a part 2 follow up just showing what it looks like after door knob, paint, and if you did additional trim work? Maybe even discuss the noise issue and how much it has helped.

Very neatly done 👍

Very helpful, thank you sir.

THANKKKK YOU!!!!!

Great job thanks!

Im gonna tell you folks right now if you dont have an oscillating saw get one it is one of if not the most handy tool you will ever need and they are not expensive

Amazing!!!

Great video! Just what I needed. Can you tell me the tool you used to cut the baseboard? Thanks

Nice Job

Well Done!

Great video and just what I needed. Question though...do you have to have a ceiling 2x4? I have a tall vaulted ceiling overhead.

Awesome job man !! Can you share info on the quick door hanger hinges !!

Can't figure out why I've never thought to to put the blade onto the saw that way.

Looking to do this, how did you find two studs on either side of the door to screw your door frame stud into that were evenly across from each other. Seems like I checked and the studs at the top of may stairs aren't even, Or did you just secure the door frame into the top and bottom plate?, if that makes sense.

Very neat. I was thinking of using toggle bolts for all the 2 door jambs and the header as I cannot find any studs close to where I want to install mine. Terrible idea?

Great video. Is this door a prehung door or just door slab plz?

The key challenge I see in some cases is not necessarily having an internal wall stud matching where the external stud goes... You clearly had a stud on your left side (since it was a corner) but having one at the right place on your right side was purely luck. So what to do if you are working in between studs? Opening the drywall to install a stud or some horizontal backers will be a LOT of work. I wonder if just properly attaching the stud to the drywall would be enough or if there is a risk of cracks overtime if people slam the door. Thoughts?

Just curious. When you installed the quick door hanger brackets it's flush with the existing wall which means when you go to drywall you'll have a weird bump out. How did you work around this? Everything I've seen of the clips are used after you've already applied sheetrock/ drywall.

Stud stud stud we need a stud counter lol but great video!

Thanks this what I was looking for. Did you need a permit?

Awesome video, thanks for uploading. What would you do if you cannot locate a wall stud behind the drywall where you want to hang the door? Or there is a stud behind the drywall on just one side?

thanks for this video. very helpful! I have a master bedroom that has a walk in bathroom with an opening width of 34.5 inches and 8ft tall. I plan on using this technique. I'm very curious about who the finished product turned out, what it looks like painted, with the vent up top, as well how the door jamb looks with the door opened while being painted. If you could pm a picture of it that would be so helpful! or post a video! thanks!

Any tips doing this in a hallway where the studs are staggered (as in, could only use one walls stud)? Should I try to use a ceiling stud?

Very nice,,,can you help me how to put a door in a small living room...

This is exactly what I was looking for, great video! Any worries about code when you’re adding a door like this?

I have a situation really similar to this. But, on one side, I don't have a stud. Any workarounds for this situation?

thanks for the video, this is exactly what I was looking for, curious how does you door looks now after installing the custom grills on top of the door .. can you post a video 2 or any picture of it?

But how did you find where the wall studs were? (when you screwed the wood studs onto the plasterboard)

I like it but you need a landing at end of stairs before the door. Also the vent may defeat your noise cancellation efforts.

Good

Hi again - just wondering if the stud width and jamb depth are flush with each other? It's a little hard to see in the video. If they weren't flush with each other, did you add anything to the framing before installing the trim, so that the trim lays flat? Thanks again for posting this video - it's a project I'll be working on in the next couple of weeks, almost the exact situation as yours.

Think it's probably better to build the frame then put it in place so you can screw altogether but I still like the video.

Do you how power tool reviews? Like cord versus cordless..

Would this work with a lowered ceiling ? The kind that has framed in panels.

Is it possible to get tool list. does the trim come with the door?

How did you add the trims ? My opening is thicker than the door . This is too hard

I’m doing the same thing at the bottom of the stairs and my split level home. I’m turning this into an upstairs/downstairs duplex. We install the door and have the framing as you do with a couple vertical pieces as well. Now I am unsure of an easy, unique, way to fill in that space and I’m not finding much on Google. Does anyone have any ideas outside of sheet rock?

This is what we need to do at the end of a hallway but I'm worried we'll mess it up costing us more. How much would it cost to have someone do this?

Also, was the jamb wider than the 2x4 frame? I believe most jambs comes with an extra inch (or more?) to accommodate drywall before the trim. Yours seems flush to the stud on the sides where you simply covered the gaps with trim... But then I wonder how you installed the drywall the top part with the grill (I am assuming you had to drywall there)... Thanks!!

Is the framing you liquid nailed to the exhausting wall 2x4’s?

Do you need a city permit to do this work?

Hey enjoying the video and your for insulation you probably know cause your door perfect spray pint black 2x4 then grill stair side down and vent bedroom side up to hit filter

Maybe remove the trim and install drywall to match the level of the drywall inside the room then add the trim

I want to do something like this in my tiny condo. See my daughter and I don’t get along. her room is at the front of the condo. I want to install something like this as soon as u walk in the front door there would be a door or barn door that has a lock so she would only have access to her room and bathroom and I could have the rest of the house. I’ll redecorate her room and place a small refrigerator and microwave and charge her a small rent price and we don’t have to be in each others face. I don’t want her to have access to rest of condo because she uses my back porch to smoke pot and talk loudly on FaceTime and she burns everything in my kitchen. I think this could work. I’m also thinking about installing a small shower because we have this weird kick n Jill type crap going on where there is two toilet bathrooms and one tub in between that I have to share with her. Love her but we fight too much 😢 trying everything to help her out and live peacefully.

What about if there are cornices on top of the wall. Between wall and ceiling. Should I cut into that as done to the skirting on the bottom?

I like you search for hours trying to find a way to add a door to an existing opening without finding anything. The only difference between what you did and what I’m trying to do is that this your home and I am renting so I don’t wanna permanently mount a door in this opening I want to temporarily mount a door for this opening. The reason I’m trying to add a door to this opening is because it’s the entranceway that leads to the guest bathroom and to my room. My roommate got the room with the bathroom behind his door. Sadly, I got the room with the guest bathroom. So the only way I would have privacy is if I put a door to block his or anyone’s view into my side. I really don’t want to drill holes in her walls or put glue or anything like that because it’ll damage their property and I’ll end up having to pay thousands of dollars in repairs so I need to come up with an idea on how to get the door to fit in tight so that the jam will stay in place without having to drill a bunch of holes if you have any ideas I’m open to your suggestions but I like what you’ve done and I’m gonna use your idea to hopefully be able to get my job done without it being a permanent thing and not damage this apt.

Warning to UK viewers, installing a door so close to the top of a staircase is against building regulations!

Is that a 2×4 stud?

Thank you! How much would you say you spent on everything?

Is that a pre-hung door?

Thank you for sharing. However, less dangerous if you would have moved the door back into the room about 2-3 feet, so there isn't a sudden drop. I know that means you would have had to add a 2-3 foot wide wall section on the left to connect to, but worth it. Been there.

I have a stud on the right but only drywall on the left, what should I do?

Beware of regulations where you live. Where i am that's illegal you can't have a door opening into stairs

Good vid but why so thorough but i’m confused why u leave out the door hanging part which is kinda the whole reason people click the video🤷🏼‍♂️ just saying but kind of helpful to a lot of these newcomers and diy people:)

shouldnt the header be sitting on top the other pieces of wood?

We have textured wall . Is it okay to install right to it ?

How much did this cost you?

What brand of saw

Did you use the prehung door ?

Header stud should be on top of side studs

Your smoke is way to close to your return

This goes against all sorts of building and safety codes. But if you don’t care about all that, it’s a good “hack” to install a door. Can’t argue with the results.

I know you can find solutions to this problem in the Stodoys plans.

Was with you until you didn't show putting in those clips and the other trim that went around. He's sorry I'm an amateur and that's why I'm searching KZfaq. Why would you show the whole project?

Ok the reason why they wanted a cool G to put a door is because they do not frame door opening out of code like you did. They do not make a dangerous situation they fix them? I just enjoy ppl like you who automatically assume you can do my job no problem? Sir you made a mess it’s something a 12 yr old would do to spite his parents. Then you hv the arrogance to post it on Y-T so others( who know nothing about framing an opening and why we follow code) can make the mess you did? Then when I inspect the home I can point it out and have bout 3 G’s marked off the price to tear out your mess and do it right? What do you do for a living so I can make a video and disparage you?

That is totally illegal

This absolutely is NOT how you frame a door. It’ll work as an addition but super cringe as a carpenter. Your top plate isn’t doing anything but giving drywall something to screw to. You got all kings and no jacks. Just terrible

What a pointless video. It’s just you drilling studs into walls. Nothing about hanging the actual door lmao

WTF? This is a how to video so you should assume that some people have no idea how to do this. You totally skipped the part where you put the other wood above the door frame. I have no idea how you attached it unless it was friggin magic. Maybe dont skip the parts that you think everyone already knows how to do. I first thought this was a great video but now completely lost and have to find another video to see how to attach the other wood above the door frame. smh
