"Murphy Doors and more did an awesome job putting in a back door for me. Nicholas is very knowlegeable and very competent. I would highly recommend him."
"The work was great! The door was installed quickly and everything was cleaned up when they were done. The only issue was that it took several weeks for the door to be made and there wasn't any communication while we were waiting.

"It went well. Darrel and Allison showed up and got to work. They were able to complete the installation of a new patio screen door. The job required modifying the entranceway to accomodate a swinging door to replace the old sliding door. They cleaned up after the job, even washing the window on the new door."
Bi-fold doors need clearance to fold into the wall, so they eat up a few feet of space. They are hard to move in snow or high wind. Many homeowners now choose sliding or sectional-style doors for smoother daily use.
You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.
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.
Swapping out old patio doors for something new can boost your home’s value. Fresh doors make your home look more modern and polished, add tons of natural light, and create a smoother connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Buyers love features that make a home feel open, stylish, and efficient, especially when updated doors come with better energy efficiency and security. High-end options like French doors can also bump the appeal even more, making your home stand out in a competitive market.
Look at the door from the outside, or the key side. If the hinges are on the left side of the door, it’s a left-hand swing. If the hinges are on the right side of the door, it’s a right-hand swing. You can also think of it as which hand you would most likely use to open the door from the outside when considering whether it’s a right-hand vs. left-hand door.
