Hanging. doors



The wife wants to replace all internal doors, there are only four.

How much should I be looking at for a chippy to hang them?

That seems cheap..
New doors, or reclaims .?
New handles and locks to be cut in?
Frames straight..? (Floods straight..!?)

Possibly Two days work there.. £400 in London..

The one of Amon Goeth is better. He stands there calm as a cucumber as though he's waiting for a bus each time the rope snaps and they have to string him up again. Three attempts I think it was.
that's a hoax filming the bloke having a hissy fit every time it goes wrong :moo:

This one definately isn't a hoax, the bloke doesn't have a hissy fit each time, although there might be some doubt about whether it actually Goeth being hung in the video. Get yourself over to YouTube Das and we'll catch up later.

4 doors 2 days work. Really. You are joking, right? Mornings work at best.

Nasty *******s the Russians looks like they were using his shoelaces, definitely humiliated him in his last moments,but then they were humiliating and bullying the Germans right up untill 1989 in return for the atrocities committed during WWII

I laid the new ones on top of the old ones, drew a pencil line round and planed down to the pencil lines. Put all the furniture in the same places, worked for me more or less.

I'm guessing you are a site carpenter and hanging 4 doors is probably a mornings work.
But removing the old doors and fitting the new in an occupied house is a day's work IMO.

How much would you charge for a mornings work?

Make sure you put the hinges on the side and not the top.
