Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Jon, and in this clip we'll be tacking our unit. Before the glue has a chance to dry, we're going to go ahead and tack our unit to the wall, so that we can start to make sure our door's plum and level. The first thing I'm going to do is remove two of the screws from my top hinge. And I'm going to be replacing those with some three and a half inch screws. Now what this is going to do is it's going to allow me to keep my door held in place while I plum it and level the door. Now those three and a half inch screws that I've chosen are gold because the hardware on the door is also gold, so you're not going to know there's big long screws in, but it's going to hold it real securely to the frame of the house."
