Q: How long does it take to replace a patio door?

• <div><p>The typical time it takes to replace a patio door is between three and five hours. That time frame includes the removal of the old door and completing any necessary repairs before installing the door. However, the project could take up to a full day, depending on the door&rsquo;s design and the surrounding wall structure.</p></div>

Q: How wide should a door jamb be?

• <div><p>The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides&mdash;about 1/2 inch each&mdash;which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that&rsquo;s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a sill for an exterior door?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to install a sill for an exterior door. A sill offers structural support for the doorframe and creates a place to install the threshold, which is essential for keeping water from seeping underneath the door and into the home. Door sills are not necessary for interior doors.</p></div>

Q: What's the most secure lock type for a house?

• <div><p>Security experts recommend deadbolt door locks on entry doors because they provide the best security. Deadbolts can prevent most types of forced entry and make your doors harder to lockpick. </p></div>

Q: What if my sofa doesn't fit through the door?

• <div><p>If a sofa doesn&rsquo;t fit through the door, try angling it to maneuver it through. You&rsquo;d be surprised at how often this works. Next, remove the legs and cushions and try again. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, consider an alternate entry point like a window or a back door. When all else fails, contact a pro. </p></div>

These guys were very skilled and thorough in their workmanship. We had a nice give and take with them about the best design details for our kitchen. Unexpectedly we learned that our outside walls are basically styrofoam with very few studs. They were able to resolve this construction problem...
