How do I make my storm door less drafty?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to make your storm door less drafty. For example, if the bottom of your storm door is letting in air, you can lower the door sweep so there’s a smaller gap between your door and the floor. You can also install weatherstripping or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-learn-how-apply-caulk.htm">apply caulk</a> around the door frame.</p></div>

Q: How are door thresholds attached?

• <div><p>Interior door thresholds are usually attached using finish nails, and some contractors will also use construction adhesive under the threshold to hold it in place. Exterior door thresholds are more commonly screwed to prevent them from pulling up when people step on the raised edge on the outside of the door. Exterior doors also include caulk sealant on the inside to prevent water and air from seeping through.</p></div>

Q: Can you use wood putty to fix a hole in the door?

• <div><p>Wood putty is a great tool for fixing a hole in a door, especially if you&rsquo;re working with stained wood or if the hole is relatively small. If you have a stained door, make sure to match the putty to the color of your door. Otherwise, it will be obvious that there was once a hole there. To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fix-kicked-in-door.htm">fix larger holes in a door</a>, you might need spray foam to fill the void and apply wood putty on top (to avoid using a large amount of putty).</p></div>

Q: How can I unlock my frozen door lock?

• <div><p>When the temps drop, sometimes you need to thaw a lock to regain access. Options include warming the key with warm water, applying a de-icing spray, or using a hair dryer on low heat. Avoid using boiling water to prevent damage. To prevent future freezing, consider installing a cover or shield over the lock to keep water and ice out. Remember to be patient and gentle during thawing to avoid damaging the lock or key. If all else fails, consult a professional locksmith. </p></div>

Q: Why do door hinges stop squeaking when oiled?

• <div><p>In short, door hinges stop squeaking when oiled because lubrication causes friction to decrease.The squeaking sound a door makes is caused by friction from lack of lubrication. So, when you apply oil or oil-based lubricants to the door hinges it causes the friction to decrease and stop the squeaking.</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.
