For what it’s worth, this would be intentional. They would have had to buy a blank door panel and make the lockset holes and hinge gains themselves. The handle holes aren’t center in the door, and the hinges aren’t equidistance either.
So not an idiot, and at least a little handy if they didn’t just pay someone to intentionally do this as well. Most people would just buy prehung doors, especially the front.
My first gig was construction. The foreman and another guy were talking about how pre-hung doors were the best thing ever made.When I asked them why they believed this they worked with me to hang a door. Fuck that, pre-hung doors are like the 4th greatest creation of the 20th century.
I literally just replaced all the interior doors in my house myself, its not hard if you use a jig, two routers, a faceplate jig, strike plate jig, impact driver, two drill drivers with one hooked up to a portable drill press and the other with an augur, another drill driver with the hinge pilot hole gadgets, saw stands, door stand, track saw, and air bags to lift the doors. Oh, ohhh
Except firedoors, fuck those overweight mother fuckers and their stupid hidden self shutting chains
I've hung exactly one door from scratch myself. In the time it took me to do that, I could have put up 8 prehung doors.
That's not even a little bit of an exaggeration.
The only catch is that door we made is the only door that 35 years later has no gaps and closes and opens perfectly according to the current owner (grandson of the og owner).
That makes sense, yeah. The one I had to do was for a frame that was basically built into a house that was made at some point in the 1950's so there wasn't any choice but to cut it and chisel it all out and measure and align everything manually...
It did open and close pretty nice though.
When I was a kid, my dad had a friend who had been a carpenter, and retired, but he would still hang doors. He said the amount of money he could charge for that made it worth doing them.
No doubt, if your home is older you need a door guy to fix problems. In my modular shitbox you can just rehang a new prehung door.
When did prehung doors become a thing? This was in the 70s
1956 is the patent but loving in the Northeast USA most houses were older than that.
Why are you assuming they didn't just flip the whole thing?
Door frames don’t have “a bottom”, and the handle not being nearer to the top than the bottom. If they flipped the door and frame, the handle/lockset would be about 20” higher up the door. And as also stated, the hinges don’t work that way either.
You put way too much effort into explaining why my joke won't work. But you could disassemble the jams and flip them around.
No… you cannot… the hinges don’t work that way, you would have to re router them.
And at that point, you would just buy a regular old door kit and do it yourself….
Guys I found the idiot.
Would have been a lot less effort to install a normal door normally, then install a window in the bottom of it.
I dont know, I know how to install doors, I dont know fuck all about windows. This is how I would have done it lol.
What the heck is up with that door handle anyway?
Looks like a keg tap handle….
The idiot should have just gotten upside down dogs.
What’s updog?
Not much
8D
a idiot
the whole part after the comma is fucked. No capitalized I, what you said and then no punctuation at the end. It's like they were trying to make it ironic.
While I agree, I am extremely guilty of using lol as punctuation.
Sure, that is what I would say too if I did that.
Now I can kick that part in and crawl through
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Seems like someone could easily kick the closest window to the handle and reach up
There are easier ways in.
In here our doors open to outside, so you can't kick them in and as weather goes below -30C in the winter they're pretty sturdy for insulation. Also nearly every door has some kind of abloy-lock which is practically pick-proof and hinges have safety pins so you can't pull the door out that way (again, that's more to do with insulation and weight management than safety). And commonly right next to the door is a nice window to let daylight in.
I wonder if there are vertically symmetrical doors designed for pet owners
The standard move is a glass storm door.
I wonder if the lock has to be fitted upside down too... logic dictates that it should be seperate, but you never know with dog owners
A typical door comes without the hole(s) for the handle hardware (and/or deadbolt), and the installer has to drill those himself. It would be a bit of an issue to take an existing door and flip it over but not that much of a problem to install it upside down from new.
