Best door repair pros near Alpha, IL

Q: What is the difference between a screen door and a security door?

• <div><p>Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.</p></div>

Q: Will converting my door to a Dutch door affect security?

• <div><p>It can affect security, especially if you don&rsquo;t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you&rsquo;ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don&rsquo;t sit tight, it&rsquo;s going to be easier to force open.</p></div>

Q: How do you level a door on an uneven floor?

• <div><p>To keep a door level on an uneven surface, use shims or scraps of underlayment to hold the door level while you attach the hinges. Keep in mind that on an uneven surface, the slope of the floor when open may not be the same as when it&rsquo;s shut. Use a level to keep from shimming your door too much or too little while attaching the hinges.</p></div>

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: How do I stop cabinet doors from banging into a new appliance?

• <div><p>If your cabinet door is hitting your new appliance because it&rsquo;s opening wider than 90 degrees, the above steps may be able to fix this problem. But sometimes the problem happens because the new appliance is a bit larger than the previous model. Check that the new appliance is set as far back as possible to prevent run-ins with cabinet doors, and check out our guide on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hiding-kitchen-appliances-cabinets.htm">hiding kitchen appliances</a>.</p></div>

"We will start with the salesman that came to my house initially. Wish I could remember his name!! He was very polite, professional and to the point. Got me set up and the ball rolling that day! Now we will talk about the time between then and the install date. The company, Maria more specifically was absolutely wonderful about communicating updates on the project. We were never left wondering. Now the install date. WOW! The crew that installed my patio door did a phenomenal job. It is everything we wanted. They were polite and professional during the install. They left my property like they were never even there. I’m more than happy with this completed project. If you’re looking for someone to complete your project and you be satisfied with the final outcome these guys are for the job!! Thank you GreenValley! So glad to have ran across you guys."
