first thing i always do before cutting to height,get a steel square and check from the hanging side that the head of the frame is square ,a common problem you come across and if you have fit the door to the head you may end up with to much clearance on the bottom

Best video I’ve seen on fitting a door and I’ve watched lots - it is worth watching other people’s takes, but I’d say you have the best thought out method that points out a few subtleties others don’t mention . I don’t fit doors often - and am about to fit 4, and hence wanted to remind myself of a logical sequence to tackle them. Thanks !

As a locksmith you have given me a few tips I'd never thought about ! I will say that a company called jigtech make a great jig set for putting latches and handles on and the only other tip I would say is forstner bits tend to make a nicer job of the holes especially on the start but spade bits are miles cheaper to buy as if you have normal style handles then work perfectly well as you guys have shown

The hinges go on the other way round. Reason being that the weight of the door is held on by the side with 3 bits attaching the pin to the plate, not the one with 2. It supports more weight which is why it’s designed that way (qualified Chippy btw)

I worry about splitting it with the plane but I think it has one of those grooves that you can use on a corner@@homeimprovements

Dilema, need a new door but frame is not standard and all doors except solid wooden doors can only be planed by max 10mm and i need 12mm each side and dont want to spend extra on a solid door , so my only option is to reduce the door frame size. Need to plane across width any tips on how to avoid breakout? Or is there another solution?

Deviating off the intended line? I'm a young carpenter and always got taught to work with the grain seems as though depth would be easier to judge the way you do it. Appreciate the reply 👍

Almost exactly the way i fit doors... Only exceptions i use a door lifter rather than bags and take the door off to fit the latch... I just feel more in control with the door on its side and drilling down into it rather than drilling at waist height with the door hung. Just personal preferences makes no real difference. 👍👍👍
