"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 are really good windows and the cost was great as i have priced them elsewhere. The rep was pleasant and know his product. I have enjoyed the fact that there is no air leaks and that they are easy to change and clean. They gave me a new storm door at no cost also."
"Jorge Lazo and his crew came in and painted 5 bedrooms, our master bathroom plus a large closet, ALL IN ONE DAY. They were punctual, in fact they were a little early, which is always very nice. They were professional and very tidy. Jorge and his team did a great job in our home and I will definitely use them again when we paint the outside of our house. If you are looking for a painter who is reasonably priced, professional, punctual and very good at what he does, then I highly recommend Jorge Lazo. Malinda Green "
"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. "
Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn’t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door’s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won’t do anything to stop them from picking the lock.
A butterfly hinge—also known as a surface mount hinge or dovetail hinge—is exactly what it sounds like: a hinge that resembles a butterfly. This type of decorative hinge, which is mounted on the surface of a door or cabinet, consists of two panels. One panel is mounted on a stable surface like a door frame and the other is mounted on the surface you need to open. It hinges open and closed like the wings of a butterfly.

At the minimum, you want your pet door to fit into its intended location, be the right size for your pup, and have energy-efficient and weatherproofing features. Besides that, you’ll also need features that are unique to your situation. If you live where raccoons run rampant, you should look into doors you can open remotely. If you have small children in your home, you might need a door that only responds to your dog’s collar.
Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions.
