"Elliot is the rare sort of individual who gives each job his best effort, and will stick with a task until it meets his and the owner's expectations. In our case, he purchased, and had cut-to-measure, a section of downspout which he used to replace that which had apparently ruptured during the winter due to an ice accumulation. He then painted the new segment to match the older sections. It is functioning very well. Although we purchased the doorknobs and accompanying dead bolt locks at his suggestion to offer choices, he installed them in three doors, which now feel significantly more secure than before. He spent many hours repairing the mechansm of several kitchen drawers: one having become so worn we could hardly open it.. At one point, one of the drawers was making a thumping sound as it was closed, and he was very happy to re-do it so that it is now quieter. The drawers now work very well, and open smoothly. In short, Elliot Levinsohn is the ideal handyman: says what he will do, and then does it to the owners' and his specifications and standards; was punctual, friendly, and explains what he is doing...all for a reasoable price.

"The crew was very polite and always asked me how I wanted things done. When I wasn't sure which way I wanted something they were full of excellent suggestions. Hanging doors is a tricky business and these guys didn't stop until the doors were hung perfectly. They worked hard without goofing around and were meticulous with their clean up. They also told me the least expensive way to do things to save me money rather than pad their bill. They also did a great job of crown molding for us. They are GOOD people!"

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.
Interior and exterior door openings are typically 80 inches high, with openings 29¼ inches wide for interior doors and 35 inches wide for exterior doors. If your couch is smaller than these measurements, it should fit through the door frame.
While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.
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—about 1/2 inch each—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’s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.
You can’t gauge the lifetime of a fire door like you could, say, an engine. Fire doors should be checked at least once every six months to ensure there are no signs of degradation like leaks, holes, water damage, termite damage, or anything else that might compromise the functionality of the door’s fire resistance. Check your smoke detectors while you’re at it.
