Q: Do longer screws make a door more secure?

• <div><p>Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn&rsquo;t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door&rsquo;s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won&rsquo;t do anything to stop them from picking the lock. </p></div>

Q: Do I put hinges on the door or frame first?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s less clearance on the lock side.</p></div>

Q: Can you use olive oil on a door hinge?

• <div><p>While applying a small amount of olive oil to a door hinge may not cause problems, regularly using olive oil or vegetable oil can cause door hinges to become sticky and gummed up over time. Additionally, residue from food-grade products can actually turn rancid.</p></div>

Q: Are barn doors out of style?

• <div><p>Barn doors are in style due to the popularity of modern farmhouse and rustic interior designs. As with any trend, barn doors could fall out of popularity over time. That's why it's important to determine if you like the function and style of barn doors for your home. They can add character to a room and save on floor space, but aren&rsquo;t right for everyone.</p></div>

Q: Do doggie doors let hot air in?

• <div><p>Yes, doggie doors, like all entrances, can let both hot and cold air into your home. However, as with any door in your house, you can take steps to weather-strip your pet's entrance to prevent air leaks. </p></div>

Levy installed a new garage door for me. I was having trouble with my door opener (mfg 2001) not working properly. Even though it was after 7:00 on a Friday night they took the extra time to install a new garage door opener. Very dependable and I would definitely use them again.

Tried really hard to do a good job and kept coming back until I was satisfied. Brought 3 year old son to the job (mother was present but would have gotten more done without having to watch him).

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
