"Joshua put the hinge back in place and he changed the back door lock! To ensure the door could open and shut freely, he shaved the threshold! He did a good job of fixing the door hinge and correcting the issue that caused the problem in the first place!"
"Nice job...they had to chisel out some of the concrete to fit the door just right at the bottom..you would never know they were there..mixed cement and built up the area..looks good"
"The installer showed up on time and started work right away. The installer was polite and professional and understood his work very well. After discussing the doors and window that should be linked to the alarm, he provided advice on where the key pad should be located. The installer also set up and explained the system to me as well. I docked quality, slightly, on account of the original placement of the pin pad. The installer put it in a spot that prevented a door in my living room from fully opening. I pointed this out to him, and the installer was kind enough to move it about 6 inches to fix the problem. Moving left some extra drill holes in my living room wall, but that's fine as we're repainting soon. "
"They were very professional and fast. They spackled , caulked, covered a very saturated blue with beige, painted the ceilings, primed and painted doors, and painted trim all in one day. It turned out beautifully. "
"After the initial sales meeting, Castle sent out someone to measure and order the windows. After about four weeks they called for an installation date. Two installers arrived around 9 in the morning and had entire job completed by 4 p.m. They did a neat job and cleaned up after themselves. We were very happy with our new windows. We didn't think when we purchased these windows to question about our alarm system contacts not working on these windows. Upon completion of the job, we had our alarm guy update our system to wireless. We are extremely pleased with all workmanship. "
Solid-core, hollow-core, and panel doors offer options for various needs and budgets.
Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.
While both sides of a front door should get painted for aesthetic reasons, you don’t have to do each side at the same time. As a matter of fact, you’ll probably want a different paint type and color for the interior section of the door than the exterior side. Consider each side of the door your personal canvas and make the paint match any nearby decor.
The L marking on a door closer stands for latch speed and the S marking stands for swing speed. These two letters inform what part of the door closer you may be adjusting. The latch speed being the short final swing the door makes before closing and the swing speed being the long swing of the door when closing.
A door sill is the horizontal part of the door frame at the bottom, while a door jamb consists of the vertical parts of the frame on either side. The door sill serves as a threshold, sealing the bottom of the door, while the door jamb provides structural support and houses the hinges and latch. Both are essential components of a door frame, with the door sill acting as a transition point and the door jamb providing stability and functionality.
