"We hired Astro Locksmith to repair our front door lock as it was not latching properly. Lior came out on a Sunday on short notice and was able to diagnose and fix the problem fairly quickly. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional - would absolutely hire again!"
"After 20 months a manufacturing defect appeared in my door, I contacted Tom, who checked it out, obtained a warranty replacement door, painted and installed it. I just paid for the paint. Tom really stands behind his work. Again it was a pleasure to deal with Tom."
"Bob was able to repair the 3 doors in my home that were not closing correctly. Additionally he had time after the initial repair and was able to fix a few other doors that were also giving me some problems. You can tell by the quality of his work that he is very skilled and experienced."
"Mo built this custom shed door from scratch, stained it and installed it all in one day! He’s a great guy and gave me an awesome price. Looking forward to bringing him back for more projects and recommending him to my neighbors."
"We had several small projects around the house that needed attention, including drywall repairs, bathroom ceiling painting, minor electrical work, exterior siding repair, and fixing a couple of doors. Everything was done professionally and with great attention to detail. The team was friendly, showed up on time, and kept everything clean. It was really nice to have someone who could take care of so many different things in one visit. Very happy with the results and would definitely hire them again!"
"We had mold that another company removed. Todd and Dave at Booth Home repair were very professional during the estimate phase and pointed out a few areas the other three contractors did not see. They were punctual, friendly and had a reasonable quote. They started when they said they would, and treated our house as if it were their own. We are more than pleased with their finished work and would recommend them highly."
"We hired Matt to reframe all of the windows in our Holliston home because we were concerned about rot. After re-shingling our dormers where there was water damage, he meticulously worked his way around all 21 windows, adding new trim, insulating them, and sealing them up tight. It looks like a new house! He is punctual, reliable and a great communicator. I can't say enough good things about him. We will definitely be calling East Coast Construction for our next project."
"We had the exterior of the house painted and some carpentry repairs done. Leone was professional to work with, gave helpful advice and responded quickly to emails. His crew was hard-working and professional. We have used Reliant Painting for several projects and have always been happy with their work."
Butterfly hinges are one of the most common types of hinges and you can use them all over your home. Though they’re common on doors, cabinets, and shutters, you can even find them on decor, like jewelry boxes, music boxes, and trunks. Doors may have basic butterfly hinges, while the hinges on cabinets and decor may be more ornate.
A sliding glass door is an integral part of your home, and when a repair is needed, it can be tricky to diagnose what needs to be repaired by yourself (aside from broken glass, which may be easy to see). Some common repairs that are necessary for sliding glass doors include:
Broken glass
Damaged door frame
Sliding panel replacement
Roller replacement
Broken door knob or handle
Damaged latches
Ripped screens
Bad seal
An interior French door should last you anywhere between 30 and 50 years, while an exterior French door unit will last around 15 to 30 years on average. Exactly how long your French doors last depends on the quality of the materials you choose, with vinyl doors lasting far less time than fiberglass, metal, and clad-wood doors. Upgrading to shatterproof glass can also improve the lifespan of exterior French doors.
Most of the time, constant use will loosen the mounting screws on your doorknob and cause it to loosen away from the door. While this can be annoying, the solution is quick and simple. If you have exposed mounting bolts, simply tighten them with a screwdriver, being sure not to overtighten and bind up the turning mechanism. For doorknobs without visible mounting bolts, first pry off the rose mounting plate or unscrew the set screw before removing it.
First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.
