Do all door knobs fit any door?

• <div><p>Most modern door knobs will all fit in standard, modern doors, so if you know your door was made in the last 50 years or so, you should be fine buying a standard replacement door knob. The only exception would be a thumb latch handleset for an exterior door, as this <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-interior-door-knobs.htm">type of door knob</a> may not fit your door without drilling a mounting hole for the bottom of the handle. Antique or custom doors might also have different sizes and knob mounting holes, so call in a professional if you don’t believe your door is a standard one.</p></div>

How can you make your patio doors last longer?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance of patio doors can keep them working and looking their best for years to come. Cleaning tracks and rollers, replacing damaged or worn weatherstripping, and routinely checking the door’s alignment can extend the life of your patio doors. Exercising care while using the doors can also keep them in good condition; avoid slamming doors shut, exerting heavy pressure against them, or forcing the latch mechanisms.</p></div>

Q: How much should I trim off the bottom of a door?

• <div><p>You should generally cut between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door. If you cut off more than that, you risk damaging the door. Planing too much from the bottom of your door can cause noticeable gaps, so it&rsquo;s always better to start with as thin of a section as possible and work in thin layers until your door no longer sticks. </p></div>

Q: How big should the gap between the door and jamb be?

• <div><p>You want a small gap of 1/8 of an inch between the door and the jamb. However, the gap size depends on the direction the door swings and whether it contains glass. You will also want to aim for the same size gap on all sides of the door, so it opens and closes smoothly.</p></div>

Q: Can you sand and restain hollow core doors?

• <div><p>As long as you do it carefully, you can sand and restain hollow core doors. However, it&rsquo;s risky because the veneers on hollow core doors are so thin that sanding and restaining might cause damage to the doors. If you do move forward with this project, sand the doors lightly with a medium-grit sandpaper.</p></div>

The job was started and completed in a timely and professional manner. We were very pleased with the work done. The new doors were a double French door and a patio door. They removed the doors and replaced the new ones. The price was within my budget i would use them for future projects.

I hired him to repair my garage door. He was late. He was very rude and he smelled of feces like he forgot change his depend diapers. I would never recommend Harry Leslie. He is super rude and very aggressive in his sales tactics.
