"David did a great job on our rental property. He finished installing a door that did not fit properly. He then replaced our Garage Door and Security Door as well. We were happy with the quality of the work after he was done and he charged us a fair price (based upon research and comparisons) for the work done. David is also a great individual and easy to talk to / get along with."

"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!"

"He was able to completely fix the problem. My doors close perfectly now. Since there was extra time on the 2 hour minimum, he also filled some cracks in my walls. The time went over 2 hours, but I was charged for a full 3 hours. Keep that in mind if you have extra work."

"He came on time, had all needed tools, knowledgeable. Made all repairs and adjustments. Was unable to remove large sliding patio door to see the rollers but was able to clean and adjust things so door is working well. Lock probably needs replacing but was able to adjust it to work well. Repaired screen door handle and cleaned rollers. Everything working as it should. I want to add, the work was done a week ago and I feel the door is working like new now. I only wish I had shown him the other one in the bedroom; I didn't realize how bad it was until I have the patio door working like new. Really happy with it. I'm sure I'll get him back out at some time."

"Fast friendly service from MGM. We have a tricky alignment issue with our front doors due to some settling of our house. Paul and Art responded the same day to get the door working again and most importantly without having to alter our expensive doors. Considering the amount time required to get it right MGMâ s bid was more than fair. We are already considering other projects with MGM Cabinets."

"I had an excellent experience with Kevin Cervantes at Real Handy Handyman. I made an inquiry through Angie's list for a handyman who could either repair or replace my sliding screen door leading to my patio. Kevin called me right away. He said that he would like to look at the screen door first to see if he could repair it to save me money. Kevin came over on the scheduled date right on time. He looked at the screen and made some calls to see if he could find parts for it but ultimately decided it would be better to replace the screen door, which was also my preference. David arranged for a screen company to come out and measure and install a new screen door. He did not even charge me for his time and labor even though I offered to pay him. Kevin is thoughtful and meticulous. I know that I can trust him to do quality work whenever I need anything done."

"The job went smoothly, replacing the rollers in two large glass sliding doors. Prior to the job, they were almost impossible to move, now they roll in the track like new. I was a bit surprised by the price, however, the entire job took under three hours and four new rollers were installed, yet the price was almost $1,000, which seems high."

Doors questions, answered by experts

A door frame is typically 2 to 2.5 inches wider than the door. This additional space accommodates the door jamb and hinges and allows for necessary installation adjustments. For example, if the door is 30 inches wide, the rough opening should be 32 to 32.5 inches wide to ensure a proper fit and smooth operation.

You should hire a licensed and insured door contractor with prior experience installing folding doors. Installing these doors is much more complex than installing a standard sliding door; don’t leave this work to a general handyperson or attempt to install it yourself.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Like many common door problems, warping can be caused by improper installation. When a door isn't installed correctly, there's a good chance that the poor seal is allowing moisture and drafts to seep through. When this happens, humidity will build up in the wood until it swells and warps.

Although some pet doors allow easier access for burglars or stray animals, there are ways to make pet doors more secure. To increase your home’s security, choose locking or electronically activated doors, use additional motion sensor security cameras, and install pet doors on a wall where door locking mechanisms are difficult to access.
