We ended up having Jeff replace only the 3 doors on the second floor. We told Jeff the brand of door we wanted and the style, which was a solid, 5-panel door (for each of the 3 doors). We also told Jeff the type/brand of hardware we wanted. Jeff ordered all the materials. He also ordered high-quality hinges, which we appreciated; the hinges took an extra 2 or 3 weeks to be delivered, but the delay was worth it for us. Jeff and his 2 sons came to our house on the appointed date. He set up in our driveway and began work. The 3 doors took all day to install. We were testing one of the doors while they were still installing the other two doors...and when the door fell off its hinges (while we testing it) Jeff and his sons immediately repaired it. We would use Jeff again, and indeed we're contacting him now (September 2014) for another project.

I called Star locksmith first because of their reviews and appeared to be reasonable priced however I got a voicemail so I left a message around 7:30 am, then I had called Bonded Lock Service and Total Security and also had to leave a message for them. I was so concerned about getting the dog out, I was desperate almost. So I wanted until about 8:30 and called Star Service again, apologizing about calling again and explaining my situation. They were so professional and seemed to understand my situation so he said he could be by 10-10:30 the latest. He ended up coming around 10 and unlocked the door in a few minutes. He had made a key for me in about 5 minutes as well. He was prompt, professional, clean, and ensured that I was the owner of the house as he asked for some paperwork to proof so. When my tenant moves out I will be calling him to rekey all the doors. Still, Bonded Lock Service and Total Security have not returned my call.

The design fit with no problems. The cabinets arrived right on time and delivers was prompt and uneventful. The total package was good but missing a minor bit; There were no toe kicks for under the cabinets. Installation was considerably delayed as we finished up the rest of the kitchen and Lowe's accommodated our delays with no problems. Coordinating our efforts with the Lowe's installation was awkward but we managed. There was some confusion which could have been avoided concerning ducting for the vent over the range. The installation itself was - adequate. The installation was finished in one day. The cabinets are in, level, and, secure. There is some sloppy work on the final product. The installer did not take the time to align the cabinet doors well, the door knobs are slightly uneven on some of the door pairs, and a shim was exposed along the edge. The holes cut for the vent ducting were badly placed. We've cut off the shims - a trivial job - and expanded the holes to fit the ducting, we can probably align the doors better, and we'll live with the uneven door knobs. Overall the cabinets are very nice, the toe kicks still need to be finished, and installation is fundamentally sound but a bit sloppy."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/dedham/lowe%27s-reviews-201920.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for security door installation projects in Newton Lower Falls, MA
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.
