"Dave and his crew did a partial kitchen renovation for us. His estimate for project cost was very reasonable and competitive! All work was done in the time frame agreed upon . Dave kept us informed each day of how work was proceeding and what to expect next. Crew was on site each day promptly as scheduled and did an excellent job in clean up as work concluded each day! Quality of work was excellent! I was very pleased with my interaction with all workers involved in our project and appreciated their professionalism. I would highly recommend Dave and his organization. I have no reservations about calling upon them for future home construction projects I may have!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.

It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.

The lock block will either be built-in on the side of the door or run from the top to the bottom. Usually, there is a marking that indicates its location. You can also tap the door with the back of a screwdriver to find the lock block like you would find a stud in a wall.

You want a small gap of 1/8 of an inch between the door and the jamb. However, the gap size depends on the direction the door swings and whether it contains glass. You will also want to aim for the same size gap on all sides of the door, so it opens and closes smoothly.

Regularly lubricate moving parts, check for loose screws, and clean tracks to prevent debris buildup.

Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn’t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door’s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won’t do anything to stop them from picking the lock.
