I have no need for a door like this, but after watching this i want one, ace job

Nooooo! You didn’t!

tools of the each trade are useful lol

Good for you

pure evil

Awesome solution 😢❤

If you need to close a door before fitting handles, then make sure the room that you are in, has all of your tools in it.😮😂

This is why you should fit the part of the doorhandle that goes through the door on the inside of the room. (and put it there as soon as you start fitting it). that way, even if the handle comes apart at some point, people inside the room can still get out.

just like a Golf 👂🏻

if any door has a key its pickable in minutes.

​@@Chris-hw4mqif you know what your doing, you don't remember all that practice? Also you prove my point the door is no good, you need a gun, gonna have trouble picking my AR from across the room while being blinded with the 10,000 lumen strobe light attached to it.

Any quick notes on the process of lubricating them? Cheers

@@Disposalist Not specific to this door, but locks in general you don't want liquid oil in them as dirt gets trapped in the oil. You use dry lubricants like graphite powder.

@@iCONICAACINOCi Yeah I have some of that, I was more wondering how to get in there to lubricate. Which bits to take off, if any, to gain access, etc.

Hi Luke, Thank you so much for the positive response to our doors, it is much appreciated.

Same goes for UPVC door mechanisms. People just don't do it, and it's the main cause of failure.

There are a number of steel external door manufacturers and probably one locally. Its now commonplace for these to be fitted in all industrial buildings in lieu of the old solid cored timber doors that inevitably get a useless bit of steel plate on the face as quasi 'security' that does nothing but strain the hinges. These metal doors are cheap to install as shown here and require no easing after the event or the contractor being called back to fix/replace a timber door that has shrunk or warped. And all this with a finish that won't require painting for years. I have spec'd steel doors for the last 25 years and they can be had with incorporated double glazed panels, my neighbour has one with 4 small glazed panels to the kitchen side door that very neatly complements the aluminium door and screen to the front of the house. This installation has been in place for the last 10 years and looks as good now as it did when it was first fitted.

Much ?

I'll second that. Having researched wooden and UPVC fire/security/soundproof doors, the Latham one I eventually got was no more expensive than the cheapest alternative and with better specs for fire, security and sound.

These steel doorsets may be about 2x the price of a comparable off the shelf timber doorset but the installation cost is significantly less and builders love fitting them. The advantage for the customer (and builder) is that they don't warp or shrink and require no painting for years.

@@clivewilliams3661 I found, when looking for wooden/PVC doors that were fire/sound proof and secure, the wooden/UPVC cost more, or were similar price, but weren't as high spec. Maybe I just couldn't find them, but I'm usually a pretty good internet purchase researcher.

I have to say, I'm very impressed with the quality I've seen in this video and the price is comparable to a highly speced uPVC door. I priced one up out of interest and it came to around £1,500.

Thanks 👍

Absolutely

Glad you enjoyed it

Old, bone handled, butter knifes are handy too, especially where you don't want to scratch a surface. The blades bend nicely and as in this video, free up sealant joints very nicely.

It seems they are also good for car doors .

@@dreddredd7137 Not in a good way though :-(

@@kroneditor9266 No indeed , only if it is an emergancy .

Yes I have two for car doors , when people lock their keys inside lol.

@@dreddredd7137Well they’re good on American car doors because they’re not allowed to have deadlocks for fire safety reasons like we have in the EU. So in America they can slide a wire in and lift the handle or pull the door lock.

Thank you! 😊

Always have been.

Glad you like them!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching!

Who owns a wire saw?

Cool to know about wire saws. I appreciated that info anyway!

@@ProperDIY anyone with 10 quid, I reckon

Oo they look interesting - I’ve not seen those before

Thank you very much!

Thanks! 👍

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!

Many thanks!

Very similar thing with a gardening equipment. It makes it much more likely the next door neighbour is targeted first

@@dougsaunders8109 unfortunately we don't have neighbours.

I try

It’s not ‘cheap’ for sure but once you price up a wooden door plus frame and hardware you are probably up to £400+

@@ProperDIY Less maintenance and much longer life than a wooden door / frame also.

Thank you! Cheers!
