"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."
Will totally recommend him to anyone looking for handy man jobs. He fixed two of our old door latches as well AND finished on time. We are hiring him again for our upstairs walls and staircase.
"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."

Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.
You want plenty of room between your pre-hung door and the framing in your wall to allow for shimming to get the door into the perfect position, so aim for about 1 inch on the top and both sides. That means you should make your rough opening about 1 inch taller and 2 inches wider than your pre-hung door. You’ll then use shims to stabilize and level the door before installing it.
While applying a small amount of olive oil to a door hinge may not cause problems, regularly using olive oil or vegetable oil can cause door hinges to become sticky and gummed up over time. Additionally, residue from food-grade products can actually turn rancid.
A door sill is the bottom portion of your door frame, while a threshold is the transition piece that separates the two types of flooring between rooms, or serves as the transition between the interior and exterior on an exterior door. The threshold sits on top of the door sill. A kick plate is a protective plate that sits against the face of a door to prevent damage to the door from feet and shoes. You’ll usually only find kick plates on exterior doors, while every door has a door sill, and most exterior and interior doors have a threshold.
