Can I install a door in my home myself?

• <div><p>It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.</p></div>

Where is the best place to install a dog door?

• <div><p>The best place to install a dog door is on an exterior door that leads to a fenced-in area of your rear yard. This position will let your dog go in and out as they need and still keep them safe in your yard when they’re outside. You should plan on installing the bottom of the doggie door a minimum of 3 inches above the bottom of your exterior door to maintain the structural integrity of the door, and never cut out a hole within 3 inches of exterior door glass.</p></div>

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

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.
