Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull Door Lifter is an essential tool designed for both professional joiners and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, hands-free solution for hanging doors. By lifting and supporting the weight of the door, it allows the user to focus entirely on aligning hinges and driving screws without the strain of manual holding; however, users should note that its size and leverage mechanism are specifically calibrated for standard door installations and may require careful handling on uneven floor surfaces.

FAQs
Can this be used on carpets?
It is best used on hard flooring; if using on carpet, ensure it is pressed firmly down to the subfloor level to provide a stable fulcrum.
Will this scratch my wooden floors?
There is a risk of surface scratching. We recommend placing a thin piece of protective material between the lifter and the floor if you are concerned about finish damage.
What is the maximum weight it can lift?
While it is robust, it is intended for standard residential interior and exterior doors. Avoid exceeding weights that cause the lever to bend.
Does it require assembly?
No, the Faithfull Door Lifter is a one-piece tool ready for immediate use out of the box.
Is it suitable for professional use?
Yes, its robust steel construction is intended to withstand the rigors of daily use by trade professionals.
Troubleshooting
The tool slips on smooth flooring
Place a small scrap piece of rubber matting or cardboard under the base to provide extra grip.
Lever feels stiff during operation
Clean the roller pivot of any dust or grit and apply a small amount of spray lubricant to the mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces physical strain during installation
- Allows for one-person door hanging
- Highly durable construction for long-term use
- Simple, intuitive mechanical operation
Cons
- Not suitable for extremely heavy commercial fire doors
- Requires floor clearance to slide under the door
- May mark delicate finished flooring if not used with a protective shim
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is minimal as the device is a mechanical lever requiring no power or assembly. Simply ensure that the floor surface is relatively level. To maintain the tool, keep the roller pivot area free of debris and sawdust to ensure smooth operation. A light application of multipurpose lubricant on the pivot point every few months will keep the lever action smooth. Store in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion, although the robust finish is designed to resist standard workshop conditions.
