Great teaching video. You assume the people watching the video don't know how to do any construction work and they are coming to youtube to find out how to do this. Alert to other youtube stations: Do This! That is the point of information exchange! If you already know how to do construction work, you won't be searching for such a how-to video anyway, so well done in knowing how to speak to your audience. I would suggest pointing out to use 3 inch screws for extra security if it is an outside door.

Excellent question! Deadbolt locks do not provide any additional security. I remember that a tenant wanted me to install a deadbolt lock. I told her that it did not matter. Her real security was the $40 per month ADT security system that I paid for. Nevertheless, she convinced the inspector to force me to install a deadbolt lock. Somebody kicked down her deadbolt locked door, stayed a few seconds, and was scared off by the alarm.

I had the same thoughts. Every single video out there is how to remove and replace the entire side of the jamb. This is the only video I saw where a small section was cut out and replaced--seems a lot easier to do it this way than remove the whole side. Work smarter not harder!

This is so much cheaper than buying a whole new door frame kit and ripping the old one out. All I have to do is get an oscillating tool and a piece of wood that is the right size.

Thanks for your question. It was fun to prepare your answer. Watch this fine toilet installation video from Kohler, kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqyLlrdyZ9qxhZc.html. Sometimes, the toilet flange is broken. This normally occurs only with older houses. If your toilet flange is broken, then use this product, www.homedepot.com/p/OATEY-1-4-in-Stainless-Steel-Toilet-Flange-Replacement-Ring-427782/303864005. Also, you may need to raise the height of your toilet flange if you have put down new flooring which causes your flange to be below the finish floor. Watch my Easy Cut Tile Around Toilet video, kzread.info/dash/bejne/om2gw5Scl6ixY7g.html&t. This video describes a toilet flange spacer which can elevate your toilet flange. It is permissible to use 2 or 3 spacers stacked together if your toilet flange is quite a bit below the finish floor. Usually, you do not need a flange spacer. If necessary, normally only one spacer is required.

@coolfixin2313

Actually, I sometimes have used 2 ½” or 3” screws. However, the sizes of the screws do not reduce the ease of kicking in a door. I have seen about 70 kicked in doors as a rental landlord over the last 30 years. The only strong doors are commercial, solid metal doors which open to the outside. All residential doors open to the inside. Standard exterior residential wood doors or wood doors with metal exterior (shown in this video) are easy to kick in. Please view how we avoid kicked in door damage in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6ec1sWlf6_gk84.html. Thanks for your comment.

However, we at CoolFixin’, make a strong effort to be concise and reduce the length of our videos. Thus, we sometimes eliminate the twenty to thirty seconds necessary to list the tools. The door jamb repair video was already one of our longest videos and we therefore decided not to add tool and material information.

Now another one kick and this jamb shatters into pieces again. Always wonder what these doors supposed to protect, put a curtain instead, unless you want protect yourself from weather elements.

This comment is simply untrue. This door repair is no stronger or weaker than most new doors. Any knowledgeable carpenter would tell you that all standard, new doors are very easy to kick in. If you want a very strong door, you must install a fully, metal door which opens to the outside. A standard metal exterior door with a wood interior which opens to the inside can be easily kicked in. I have only repaired about 70 new doors installed by competent contractors which were kicked in without much effort.
