I Replace My Interior Doors! Cutting MATCHING Hinge Pockets Myself to SAVE $$ and IMPROVE Fit

Today on Matt’s DIY Home Show, we are back at my house, installing new doors into old jambs and replacing the old doors. My door shop wanted 100$ a door PLUS a 4 week wait to machine matching hinges! I’m going to show you how to match up hinge pockets to the old doors, then cut and machine them to a better fit that wont stick when you open and close them! I’m also going to spray some doors that have been sitting in primer for years, cut in all the door hardware, and get these finally mounted, and reveal the upstairs hallway.
