Door Trim Installation when wall sticks out too far!!!

Awesome! This was so helpful. Plus the added bonus of seeing those old classic Vancouver floor :)

I've done it that way a few times. Something I also do is to attach the jamb extensions to the trim with the edges perfectly flush. I then cut my modified trim to the necessary lengths and attach it to the door jambs. That way you have a single reveal rather than two.

When ripping your jamb extensions cut a few extra scraps to the same thickness - you can put those on the deck of your miter saw to support the unmodified edge of the trim so it lies nicely on the miter saw.


The downside is that if the jamb extensions are really thick then the total thickness of the modified trim can end up being a little too much for 2" brads.

You order the right size casing to start with !

Nice. Facing this problem with our renovation. Our walls are masonry, though. Can the same be done using good glue to the drywall on masonry? Or are there special nails? In some places, it’s drywall on metal stud (insulation between the metal stud and old masonry walls). Feeling insecure about face nailing and about gluing trim!

thank you !!

If you just had put two more nails in it would’ve been an even 200 holes to fill, haha.

Who decided a reviel was the thing to do? I never do a reviel unless there's a hinge in the way. I think they look so stupid. To me it shows you aren't good enough to measure and cut it flush. It looks very unprofessional.

Why is the door on the right 4” shorter??? That would drive me crazy looking at it every day

Why the additional reveal? Why not just add the piece flush?

No way I’m trying to do a DIY project and MF BEN is the one that pops up. Love you man got me into skateboarding❤

Depending on the situation and many factors, you can mud it with drywall and corner beads. Just an option.

or you could order the right size jamb stock and not have to do any of this....

Young Clint Eastwood..

been wondering about this for years lol
thank you VC

make a wider door jamb ,simple

Nail gun in hand. Check. Flying nail warning check. Squints on head check. Sorry bud. Old habit since the boss pays the insurance on my jobs. That’s me. Try this to remember. Every time you pull a trigger be profoundly grateful for sight. Make Norm Abrams proud and echo his warning. Love your work sir. Appreciate it. Thank you.

that nail gun is loud

what are all these fractions?

The roundover edge part I use a pocket plane way quicker than sandpaper and plus planing is fun I hate sanding

Super job!! Thanks. I now know how to fix my issue

It’s called an extension jamb. Your welcome

Get Trudeau out of office and you cold have done this a whole lot cheaper.

u are so handsome thanks for the tip. Beautiful smile btw

I cannot find this product anywhere... Can someone please help me find a jamb extension piece. All I see is kits with a bunch of crap I do not need

I know I'm late to the party here. 1. If you are going to buy a prehung door then order it with the right size jamb. 2. If you are going to buy a new door at least attempt to match the other doors in the house. Here we have a standard 4 9/16" jamb when he needed a 5 1/4" jamb and a flush door when he should have bought a 1 panel door to match the door right next to it. While we are at it, use the same casing profile too.

Thank you. I have this exact problem with a couple of doors in my 100yrs old house.

I just love gay Canadians. Really miss your v neck t shirts. And Justin Trudeau is so cool.

Can you do this for around a slider? Do you still do a casing around a slider

Thanx -- exactly the video I am looking for.

Just what i was looking for

start by ordering a door with the proper thickness jamb. they make them in custom widths.

No glue! Just relying on nails? It will crack?! Just buy thicker material and rebate one side to the thickness of your skirting, leaving enough depth for the protruding wall.

Always enjoy your videos. Thanks! What size nail is that, 16 gauge?

In the uk we call this the wrong door lining

We had a bathroom renovation, the tiles were 10mm thick, the architrave 11mm, which meant with glue the tiles were proud of the architrave, it’s an ugly look, my solution was to get a 19mm thick architrave with the same profile.. which meant the architrave would be proud about 5-10mm which was ok.. it saved me cutting 10mm strip around the door frame.

Biig nozzle on your caulk then smooth if off with your big toe

I have the opposite problem. Door and window sticks out farther than the wall…

Makes perfect sense about the double reveal rather than setting the jamb extensions flush. Thanks 👍

s an easy fix! build a new house around the door!

Great video, thank you. But..... why can't suppliers make door linings to work with stud work and plasterboard? (UK jargon). This situation happens all the time! Thanks again, stay lucky and keep 'em coming

The design in the wood floor is beautiful!!!

Nicely done! :)

Mismatch trims between the 2 doors?

Why do a double reveal, especially when it is nearby a standard door installation with a single reveal. Doesn't look so good to have this mismatch. In my 40+ years as a carpenter, I've always added the jamb extension as you've done, then cut and nail the head trim so it flushes out with the inner edge of the extension. Do the same down the two legs, mounting them individually and cross-nailing the miters. This looks neater without the double step.

Is there another way to install trim without using a mail gun.

Amazing video, well articulated! Had a contractor leave my door frames in shambles but this video has taught me how to fix their mistakes! Thank you!

What glue do you use for the casing?

Can you do videos on how you bid your jobs?
