Interior Mortise And Route Installation For Slab Doors?

This video tutorial teaches how to install a new interior door without hiring a handyman. It covers how to hang a slab door, including how to add knobs and hinges, and how to accurately place and recess door hinges in a slab door. The tutorial also provides instructions for all types of wood interior door slabs, including molded, ˚ush, custom carved, and stile and rail.

To install a slab door, you will need to accurately install the hinges using a router. This process involves mortising the hinges, measuring, and drilling a hole. The tutorial also provides tips on how to put hinges on a door slab and hang a new door on an existing jamb.

To make the installation process easy, you will need to carefully mark the mortise with a knife or sharp awl, remove the brads, and place the hinges on the doorframe. Then, attach the slab door hinges to the doorframe, move the door to its location inside the doorframe, align the hinge to the hinge mortises on the doorframe, and position the new hinges in the existing locations.

If the old door is removed, you will need to measure and cut the new door to fit, locate and cut mortises for the hinges, paint the door, and install the door. Finally, you will need to lift the door onto its edge with the hinge-side jamb up and connect the head jamb to the hinge-side jamb using three 8 wood screws, pre-drilling as required.
