"Mr. Denisi responded immediately to our call for help with a critical exterior door at our church that would no longer close properly or lock. He quickly assessed the problem and fixed it with minimal fuss. Since we are a non-profit and the problem had an easy and quick solution he did the work pro bono!! What more can I say! It is rare to find such a kind and wonderful person. Thank you Tony you saved us today."

"Acquired new commercial insurance that required me to perform recommended upgrades to a rarely used storage shed. Jack was responsive to my request and performed the required work efficiently and above and beyond the minimum required by the insurance without breaking the bank. As a small business owner I really appreciate working with companies that don’t waste my time or money to complete the endless list of requirements to run a successful company. Thanks again for a job well done !"

Doors questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, it’s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.

French doors that open to exterior spaces are often installed to swing inward, as this makes them more secure than outward-swinging doors, due to the interior hinges being inaccessible from the outside. For interior doors, it’s personal preference which direction to hang your doors, but it’s common to have them open into the larger of the two spaces they’re separating.

Windows and doors can be fitted with specialized seals and acoustic glass options for better noise reduction.
