Thanks again for posting this! I got the 2 doors made, trimmed, insulated and painted. I had to use 1/4" plywood as the rockwool insulation is too dense to cover smoothly with 1/8" luan. The doors fit great, don't sag and can easily be opened and closed, even though each one weighs over 100#. I also used 2 packs of the metal lock barrel bolt you have listed in the description; work great!

Hi Dave, I actually set the door frames in the opening and shim them where they are to be and then mark the frame where the panel grooves match up then when doors are done I set them back in the opening and set the trim on the doors so I know that I can install the hinges while keeping the doors straight. I hope that is what your question was.

Hi Great video! Did you have to build Jambs for this door? Also, if I followed a similar design but wanted to add glass to the top for windows… how do you recommend doing that? Just want to make the sure the engineering is done right to support the glass.

@ILikeToBuildStuff

Hi and Welcome, Yes I had to build the jams but that was just trim boards. You can add windows just as you would when building a wall just be sure to keep the diagonal bracing under the windows

Great video! I'm using it to make similar doors for my new 24x32 shop with a 9'x10' door opening. 6-7 month delivery expectations and cost especially are 2 things why I decided to go this way. Also, my shop will be used mostly for building my 1966 Chevelle autocross car, welding and personal vehicle maintenance, so I don't really need doors that are convenient and easy to open several times a day or week. Have you another video on how you sealed the door, yet?

I'm curious on how you did one door to overlap the other. Wish you'd have shown that in the video. In my mind, that central overlapping trim piece would have to stick out past the wall, further than the rest of the trim.. is that what you did? Can't quite picture how you can have it overlap and all stay on the same line

Hello and welcome, Yes that is what I did by using a 1x6 for the center overlap. Good eye!

With how you did your video, it gives me confidence that I’ll be able to do this on my own. I have a circular saw but not a table saw, though I don’t think that’ll interfere with me completing my project. I have a question for you though. Do you think it would be fine for me to use my jigsaw and cut out windows in the paneling? I’d be using plexiglass for the windows. I also won’t be insulating my doors as the rest of my garage in nowhere near insulated or even airtight. (House was built in 1890.)
