Hey guys today I'm giving you six easy steps on how to install metal door frames Okay, first thing you're gonna do is check your elevations the great the great elevations I've already got shims down there because I've already checked it, but I'm gonna show you so I got 35 7-8 35-7-8 on this side as well, okay, so I've already shimmed it up with these plastic shims So You want to make sure that it's level rate the door frame level horizontally and Vertically which I'll show you the clips Get the clips installed these doors already come with clips are already installed otherwise there's other clips You can build and snap them in Okay, so these are some fancy different types of clips. There's our like a universal adjustable clips So the doors 5 and 5-8 so you just line it up To the 5 and 5-8 and then you can see the clips these fit through the glue grooves and it says right on it 5 and 5-8 Clip So you got these are your clip I'll cut these off as well because I like to screw through the stud this way and when you wrap these over It's harder to get the drywalling So these are these are these little clips that usually wrap the stud But I always cut them off. I only use them if I can't If I don't have access to the inside of the stud which I'll show you in a sec But yeah, you just clip them off right there So it looks like so And then these pop in just like you know, you just gotta You got put them in this won't fit in this frame But you pop them in and clip them over like that So in all they get a little tricky so you fight with them sometimes Right, but you just kind of go like this turn around clip it in And you put it at the hinges, right so at the top Middle and the bottom both sides of the door Right, so when you're hammer drilling in the bottoms like you only have to screw in the two clips Okay, then you need you're in any pimples quarter-inch drill bit Like hammer drill bit for the concrete. I like to pull them out if I can Shoot There we go a couple out Anyways, I got two out All right, and I got drywall down in this case dense glass to go in behind I got a couple of couple little pieces strips like this Double check your swing make sure you know your swing okay in out wherever that is okay double check make sure you got that correct So what I mean is we need to set the bottom Okay So that it's the spacing is correct Okay, then you see the holes You got to get a hammer drill in there pimple to pimple them bastards Okay, so remember now the six steps force for installing a metal doorframe number one check your great elevations and chim the side that you need To double check the swing of the door make sure you got the the hinges on the right side so the swing is correct and Install the clips Cut pieces of drywall to space in the frame properly the fire reading requires the drywall to slip in behind the frame For hammer drill and pin bolt the bottoms Five is laser level the hinge side of the door and then six Place the side studs in and screw in the clips here's the drywall for spacing Simple as that guys, so we see what I mean here All right, put two screws in every clip It's far out on the flange as possible So you know Our space is good screw all I said put two screws in each one You know check the level then you start with the hinge sides you level the hinge side first Make sure it's good and then you're good on the other side and I got the board in there at the top already. It's space is beautiful Deadly Hey, now we're gonna make sure that it's level Okay, I use a laser for level it Not up fan of levels I like the laser right here on the inside of the gym The stopper Good here in the bottom is just splitting it and you can see it's got a coming on a little bit at the top It's good. I can adjust if I got to go put screws in the stud So yeah, and then the other side we got to make sure get the get make sure the shims are under there pin bolt the inside Same thing you know make sure the spacing is good And tell me I Know we're good Okay, so it's important to let that you hit level the hinge side so now you can see All I do is I set the frame Perfectly level I'm gonna clamp the the stud at the top Screw it in both sides We're done this side and that's pretty much the hardest part Once you got the The hinge side set and level it's a matter of squaring you the cross, so It's simple after that. Oh Oh Yeah Same thing on this side we put the dense glass in or the drywalls Set the spacing and hammer drill it in homie and the spreader bars here will make sure like when we'll keep it square over right so Yeah, just in the same thing on this side right put the the dense glass on Pushed it in so now my spacing's proper now I can screw it in and I know it's level on the hinge side So we're good to go spacing's good all well if I got a piece of dens in here and at the top Alrighty now it's time to put it all back together Couple things so just so you guys so you guys know what it looks like when it's done complete The board will go in behind the frame All the way around even on the top You can see I just slightly cut where the clips are so it goes in But a trick is to 45 your 45 the backside of the board that goes into the Into the door frame and hammer in the the wafers at the in the corners, okay? On the studs and the box beam Always level the hinge side make sure the hinge side stays level the whole time because when you're pushing the board And sometimes you can move the frame or push it a square but you can see it's deadly So we got board in behind the frame all the way around therefore it's fire rated right so That's another thing too make sure your walls are level plum right this way because then the doors are gonna be leveled That you know this way you only have to level this side way, you know what I mean like the vertical this way instead of though this You know what I mean right this way As long as your walls are straight then your front your door frames will be fine But yeah, use a laser always use a laser to level your level your doors on the hinge side and Make sure the elevation is also level, okay? So yeah, if you need to shim up the bottoms before you pin them down If you're new to Chris home of logs make sure you subscribe right down below hit that bell notification icon See don't miss when I go live every single Sunday morning and now Tuesday evenings You do think you might like this video right here on the top so give it a watch We'll put another playlist down below for you.
