"I had a total of five doors installed. A set of French doors, three bifolds and a bedroom door. A few of them were custom sizes that needed to be trimmed out. Rick did an excellent job. He is conscientious and has a great attention to details. I will be getting him to do our front door also."
"Flying Locksmith sent a professional and personable expert who changed all our locks and installed a new lock on an antique door beautifully. I would recommend and use again!"
"Very happy with the repairs to the door frame as well as the installation of the storm door and hardware. The Barranco Brothers were honest, fair, and committed to customer satisfaction. Will absolutely use them again in the future."
"Eric was very easy to work with and did an incredible job. We had him repair two rotted doorframes, install a new storm door, and fully replace one exterior door. He worked quietly and efficiently and the completed work is fantastic. He could have easily quoted me to replace all the doors at a high cost but instead suggested to simply repair instead of replace. Because of this, we will be calling him for any future work we need done at our house."
"Super nice guy.! Came in got the info he need and begone. 45 mins later job was done and clean.. I do recommend him.. was on time also. Replaced the side lite to my home."
"Vince did an awesome job for us framing up a new door in an existing hallway, installing new drywall around the door as well as installing the door, frame, and trim. We were extremely pleased with the work and would recommend to anyone looking for similar work to be done. Vince was very communicative and matched the new door to our existing doors and trim. Highly recommend."
"Great job down to smallest detail by true professional door installers! We are so glad we selected Alderfer Glass Co. to iinstall our Provia garyfront door and storm door."
While doggie doors are convenient for pet owners, they do offer a few drawbacks. For instance, they’re small enough that unwanted critters could come into the house, such as raccoons, snakes, rats, and insects.
They’re also large enough that small children can escape through them, which can be a serious concern to parents of young children.
Finally, doggie doors can make it difficult to regulate your home’s temperature because they constantly let in hot or cold outside air.
Yes, it is essential that you perform bi-annual maintenance on your bifold doors. This means checking the hardware, cleaning the door and the tracks, and lubricating the locks. Most of this work can be done on your own, but if you wish for a more thorough inspection, you should call in a professional door repair company.
Solid-core, hollow-core, and panel doors offer options for various needs and budgets.
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.
When choosing a door for the space between your garage and house, steel is your best bet for fire safety. While wood—and sometimes glass—doors are common, they have lower fire-ratings. Fire-rated steel doors can withstand flames for up to three hours—double what wood can manage (90 minutes). Glass, while non-combustible, can crack under extreme heat. Steel may cost more, but it also offers the best protection. Steel isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing choice, but as long as your door meets the International Residential Code (IRC) standards, it’ll do its job in protecting your family and home.
