The work was completed quickly and I couldn't be happier. Overall, precision door provided excellent service with a lifetime warranty. I also appreciated the e-mails with the technician bios prior to their arrival. This provided my family a sense of security in knowing who was coming to provide the service before they arrived. Precision Door should expand their customer service model to service more than garage doors. They are way ahead of the competition in terms of their use of e-mail and customer service to share information.

The other firm had given us an estimate to replace our junction box at something like $900, and could not come out until 48 hours later. So I called Jay at One Stop Intercom. Jay was able to come out the next day. He quickly assessed what the problem was (and showed me what was going on). Jay had to go to a vendor for a new door striker, but the whole repair took 60-90 minutes and cost me $191.50 to repair vs. $900 to replace. I don't meant to dis the other firm too badly. I think that they simply did not know door buzzers as intimately as someone who specializes in them. Lesson learned - always try a specialist over a generalist. That specific knowledge can save a lot of time and trouble - and in my case, a TON of money!

FAQs for security door installation projects in Chicago, IL
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
