Get matched with top door pros in Salisbury, CT

Q: Can pros improve the energy efficiency of sliding doors?

• <div><p>Yes, they can enhance insulation by installing weather stripping and ensuring tight seals.</p></div>

Q: Can you force open a door?

• <div><p>Using force to open a door is not recommended, as this could cause serious injury or permanent damage to your door and surrounding door frame. If it&rsquo;s a front door that you&rsquo;ve lost the keys for, it&rsquo;s better to call a locksmith. If it&rsquo;s an interior door without any lock that you plan on keeping, a handyman can help. Finally, if it&rsquo;s an old door that you plan to replace anyway, a professional door installer can remove the stuck door and source a replacement.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to shim both sides of a door?

• <div><p>While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.</p></div>

Q: Where is the lock block on a hollow door?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a doorway floor transition and a door jamb?

• <div><p>Many doorways feature two door jambs. These are installed on both sides of a doorway to prevent the door from swinging too far. Door jambs usually stop the door at 180 degrees when closed. A doorway floor transition sits between the door jambs on the floor, helping to create a safer and more aesthetically pleasing transition from one flooring type to the next. </p></div>

"Elvin is great. He fixed my wood double front doors and applied paint that I had picked out, as well as new handles/lock. He took his time, was very polite, and made sure everything was in order before in left. My front doors look amazing. Will be hiring him again for more work around the house. Also, his pricing was very reasonable and on point for the amount of repair and painting work he did."

"Artisan Building & Remodeling was an excellent choice for replacing my wind-damaged shingles. Of the various roofing companies that came out to give estimates, Brandon was the only one who insisted I let him speak to my insurance company on my behalf. He was even present when the insurance inspector came out to look at my roof. I feel I would not have succeeded on my own in negotiating anything with my insurance company. The roofing crew was very efficient in their work. Everyone on the team had a job to do, no time was wasted. Brandon was always thorough with his communications, whether it be by phone, email or text. He was always prompt – more prompt than the insurance inspector. I’m very satisfied with and highly recommend Artisan Building & Remodeling!"
