The tricks i learn't on marking all the things up were excellent. A massive time saver and enabled me to produce a better finish took me longer than 2:31 though :)

@kevcarspray Thanks for that. Glad you saw the video for what it was intended for, purely as a help to those who have never done it. DIY Doctor

how much should i pay for this service?

[TheDIYDoctor]

@MVG994 A good chippy will hang a door in about an hour if the frame is reasonably square and you should expect to pay about £45.00 plus any materials (locks etc)

It doesn't show what to do when the door frame is not square.

[TheDIYDoctor]

@CanineFaeces When the frame is not square you need to cut the door to the shape of the frame just as shown in the vid. Where I have shown square cuts, they will be angled cuts if the frame is angled and out of square.

@TheDIYDoctor

True

[TheDIYDoctor]

@RobMagic Thanks Rob but when you are fitting a new door to an existing frame which some-one else has chopped out, you have to work with what you get.

Hinges are chopped abit too deep though. Must work for council.
