"They arrived early and finished in just over 30 minutes. They replaced the rollers with better quality metal ones and also replaced the bottom track with an overlay. The door now slides open and closed with the use of a pinkie finger."
"Found Gus on google. Immediately connected with human and it was Gus, and in no time his team showed up, replaced rail under mu bog slide door, replaced the lock, and then very quickly brought in new screen door. Very efficient and fairly priced. Strongly recommend."
"I contact AMG Doors through a recommendation from a friend. I contacted Michael and he was very knowledgeable about the different types of door materials and what material would work best for my area ( I get a lot of sun at my front door). Michael talked me into getting a thermatru front door and I obsoletely love it! AMG Doors already has a patio door on order for my home!"
"Anthony replaced two hinges and added a third hinge to a 2-hinge door that had been sagging. It works great now.
He is an expert in door installation and door hardware. Has very prompt, personable, and knowledgeable. His labor charges are reasonable.
The company is family run with his wife at the front office while he is in the field."
"One night our garage door cable slipped off the drum, leaving the door jammed, crooked, and starting to bend the tracks. I contacted Garage Doors at 8 am the next day and two technicians were at our house by 10! They were thorough and professional, not only fixing the issue but also performing a complete calibration to make sure the door was running as good as new. With kids at home, I know the potential danger of a malfunctioning garage door, so having it repaired so quickly and expertly was a massive relief."
"I highly recommend Bella's Glass because of the professional communication via text messages from start to finish. Ramon arrived on time and fixed the shower door. The shower doors are better than they were when I rented this place. Thank you"
"Very positive experience with Sean. Good communication and on-time. After arriving, Sean was quickly able to assess the situation of my stuck crawlspace door that had eluded all previous attempts to unstick it. He was successfully able to unstick the crawlspace door using his tools, and he also shaved a small amount of wood off the sides of the crawlspace door so that it would not stick again. Excellent outcome."
It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.
Continuous hinges are some of the sturdiest hinges available, which makes sense, given that they provide support along the entire side of the door. These hinges are often used for heavy commercial doors, but are impractically expensive and unnecessary for residential use. Among the hinges commonly used in homes, the ball-bearing hinge is the strongest, and it reduces friction to help heavy doors open more smoothly.
No, exterior doors don’t need to be prehung, although choosing a door that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn’t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it’s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they’re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.
A hollow core door has an average life expectancy of about 20 to 40 years, with most lasting 30 years before they need to be replaced. Doors that are well cared for can last on the longer end, as long as no severe damage occurs.
You should rekey your house every three years to minimize the chances of someone gaining access to your home. You can do it more than that, but it depends on the level of foot traffic and visitors you get. Businesses, for instance, routinely rekey their locks every six months to a year. If you experience a break-in or a house key has gone missing, rekey the locks immediately. The same goes if your lock becomes damaged.
