Is a pre-hung or slab door better?

• <div><p>In most cases, a pre-hung door is a better option, not only because it’s far easier to install as a DIY project, but also because you’ll get a new frame and a new door at the same time for a more complete upgrade. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-new-front-door.htm">Replacing a door costs</a> more with pre-hung doors, but the additional investment is usually well worth the money. Pre-hung doors require fewer tools and less experience to install properly. With that being said, a slab door might be better if you’re on a tight budget or have a custom wall opening size that a pre-hung door won’t match.</p></div>

How do you determine if a door is a fire door?

• <div><p>Start by checking the top or side edge of the door. Look for a certification label or metal tag stamped with details like the fire rating and information on the manufacturer. Even if it’s painted over, the tag should still be visible. Next, look along the edges for slim intumescent strips. They’re designed to swell up and seal gaps when exposed to heat. Finally, check if the door closes itself. Most fire doors have a self-closing mechanism, like an overhead closer or spring hinges. If none of these are obvious, contact a fire safety professional to help verify your door. </p></div>

Q: Can I make my home more accessible myself?

• <div><p>Minor modifications like grab bars and threshold ramps can be DIY, but professional services ensure compliance with ADA standards and structural safety.</p></div>

Q: How often should you rekey your house?

• <div><p>You should rekey your house every three years to minimize the chances of someone gaining access to your home. You can do it more than that, but it depends on the level of foot traffic and visitors you get. Businesses, for instance, routinely rekey their locks every six months to a year. If you experience a break-in or a house key has gone missing, rekey the locks immediately. The same goes if your lock becomes damaged. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my doors to prevent future issues?

• <div><p>Regularly clean, lubricate hinges, and inspect hardware to prolong the lifespan and functionality of your doors.</p></div>

Professional, timely and best installers we’ve had. Our installers took to time to get everything fit right. They had their hands full with a few doors and windows, due to bad framing from our construction contractor. Our new doors and windows work flawlessly now.

Fantastic job. I called on Monday and they were able to be here on Wednesday (even came the day before the holiday!). Work was thorough and very professional. When I bought the house, I didn't get remotes. He fixed the problem I called about, had remotes on the truck that he got working for me...
