"Philip was excellent from the first bid to the final installation of the second door. Work was excellent and done according to plan. We had 2 exterior doors installed and the doors arrived at different times. Philip accommodated the 2 different installations. I hope to work more with Pacific Door in the future."

Customers say: True professional

"I needed several different jobs done around my home. Jerry was able to take care of everything. He is a skilled carpenter and also The talented in other areas as well. He renovated my home office by creatively repairing a redwood entry door, patching and painting the room, hung a large flat screen TV, replaced a toilet in the bathroom as well as numerous other small fixes around the property. He was able to clearly communicate what he was going to do and showed up on time. I’m very happy with results. I highly recommend S &J Handyman Services."

"Ryan Lovejoy and his Assistant Issac where such a lucky find! I explained the scope of what I wanted done and received a bid in a very timely manner. I needed some significant repairs on an older deck, NOT a complete rebuild. Ryan kept me informed of exactly what was needed to accomplish this. And I am delighted with how the project came out. They were ON TIME, they kept the area Clean and Tidy after the days work, always a plus. I would not hesitate to reach out to Lovejoy Construction for any needs in the future."

Doors questions, answered by experts

When choosing between an inward- or outward-swinging door, there’s no right answer. Inward-swinging doors are great for avoiding debris and keeping hinges inside for added security. Alternatively, outward-swinging doors can give you more space inside your home, and some homeowners feel they’re harder to force open. Ultimately, neither is “better,” but a door expert can help you figure out which fits your needs.

You can use wood, metal, or plastic as a door shim, but keep in mind that wood will rot easier than the other two materials. Your local hardware store should have at least one type in stock. Alternatively, you can trim a piece of cardboard to fit underneath your door hinge and work as a temporary, makeshift door shim.

The L marking on a door closer stands for latch speed and the S marking stands for swing speed. These two letters inform what part of the door closer you may be adjusting. The latch speed being the short final swing the door makes before closing and the swing speed being the long swing of the door when closing.

You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it’s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there’s less clearance on the lock side.

Generally, hinged French patio doors are considered more secure than sliding glass doors. French doors typically feature a more robust, solid frame that can support multi-point locking systems and deadbolts, securing the door at several points and making them harder to break into. In contrast, sliding doors often rely on a single lock and operate on tracks, which can be a security vulnerability. While you can add security bars and other features to enhance a sliding door's security, a well-made French door is often more secure on its own. Ultimately, the overall security of any patio door depends on the quality of its materials, the locking hardware, and proper installation.
