Get matched with top door pros in Tekonsha, MI

Q: How often should a front door be replaced?

• <div><p>Your front door should only need replacing every 20 to 40 years, depending on the material and level of wear and tear. Sometimes a door will need replacing sooner due to extreme weather conditions, like a hurricane or storm. In other cases, you may want to upgrade your door to add some upgraded curb appeal&mdash;especially when prepping your home for sale.</p></div>

Q: What size chisel should I use for a door strike plate?

• <div><p>For most doors, you can use a 1-inch chisel to create the mortise for the strike plate. In addition, you can use a 3/4-inch chisel for more refined cuts and to clean up the edges of your mortise. The smaller tool is handy when squaring off the edges around the hole for your latch. </p></div>

Q: What are some alternatives to bifold doors?

• <div><p>Instead of a bifold door, you might look into installing French doors, pocket doors, or sliding doors. Each has its own pros and cons. French doors offer the dual-door advantages that bifold doors do, and pocket doors are excellent space savers&mdash;though you&rsquo;ll need to create a wall cavity to have them installed. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: Do doors have to be the exact size?

• <div><p>Yes, if you&rsquo;re replacing a door slab, it must be the exact size of your existing door. If your new door is too small, you&rsquo;ll need to purchase a new door to fit or hire a handyperson to make your frame smaller. Or if it's too big, you&rsquo;ll need to return it or shave it down to fit.</p></div>

Q: How do you lock a door with a broomstick?

• <div><p>You will need to cut or break a boomstick so it is wider than the door and long enough to anchor outside the door frame. Extend the broomstick horizontally under the doorknob, ensuring it's snug. Now using long screws and a drill, anchor the broomstick to the wall outside the door frame. Remember that you won't be able to open the door afterward. Do not proceed with this hack if your home has no alternative exit.</p></div>

I had pocket doors in my ranch. They were literally the bane of my existence! They may or may not close they may or may not open! They came in and they removed three pocket doors and my bath door. In their stud, they put in new Oak doors, their encasement and moldings. And they did a superb job...

"We had them replace stairs and our lower deck at the lake house. Sales representative was very good and did tell us it would be a while before the work would be started. Took a bit longer than â the whileâ we anticipated based on his estimate and I friend calling to check on the status of the project. Thatâ s the only thing Iâ d mark them down on: communication while waiting. Installation team was good and cleaned the area well. Very happy with the results."

"Rick and his partner were punctual, friendly and very professional. Our family room has a lot of trim and they took the time to prime, paint and caulk all the trim including the sliding french doors, windows, and bookcase. After that, they sprayed painted the walls. For the most part it was adequate coverage, but there are a few spots that I noticed that could have had an additional coat. I think next time (due to the type of paint purchased) I would ask for there to be a little more drying time between coats. These areas are minor so overall I think that they did a really good job."
