Everyone wants trouble-free doors and windows -- doors that swing
smoothly without rubbing or slouching, windows that open easily and
keep cold air out. Over the last 26 years Tom Law has installed
thousands of doors and windows, developing the time-honored
techniques that mark him as a master carpenter.
Whether you just want to add some light to a room or need to hang
doors and windows on a job site, you'll find Law's methods and trade
secrets invaluable. And Law doesn't ignore problems. In one part of
the tape, he intentionally creates a door-hanger's nightmare, then
shows you how to save the installation.
In Installing Windows and Doors, you'll learn how to:
- Square up and secure an opening window in minutes
- Set and seal an insulated glass unit in a custom-built frame
- Shim and plumb a prehung exterior door so it won't sag
- Size an interior door blank to fit within a site-built frame
- Make a simple template to align and rout hinge mortises
