I've hung a couple of doors and I've had to do it on my own, so I wanted to share another tip with you all. Using the pry bar like in this video is a great idea but if you're hanging a door from scratch eg. marking out the necessary positions where the hinges need to be located (normally on the door itself and the jamb), then either using a router or chisel & hammer to cut out the necessary timber to make hinge recess area can be a tad frustrating for a novice (read mind-blowing!). To help keep the door in the perfect position I suggest you carry a small book with you i.e. I personally use an old phone book as the height can be adjusted by fractions of a millimetre and the book's size spreads the area enough to cover virtually the whole of the bottom of the door therefore making a second choc for the most part redundant. Just a simple tip that's worked for me, I hope it does the same for you.

Oh dear. New build you reckon! 🤦🏻♂️ Love the channel btw. Scott Brown Carpentry (a great NZ KZitemr builder/tools/carpentry channel) has a merch Tshirt he sells with the saying ‘But, can he hang a door?’ Clearly these builders couldn’t….. You must have chuckled a little going into a new build and charging some poor client to fix up the mess left by their ‘master builder’.
