Q: Do I put hinges on the door or frame first?

• <div><p>You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it&rsquo;s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there&rsquo;s less clearance on the lock side.</p></div>

Q: Are fire doors more expensive?

• <div><p>Fire doors are more expensive than your run-of-the-mill residential composite door because of additional materials and expanding sealants that help the door slow down or even prevent the spread of temperatures over 1,000 degrees. If you have homeowners insurance, talk to your company and see if installing fire doors can lower your premiums, especially if you can install <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel doors</a>. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a door sill and a door jamb?

• <div><p>A door sill is the horizontal part of the door frame at the bottom, while a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-door-jamb.htm">door jamb</a> consists of the vertical parts of the frame on either side. The door sill serves as a threshold, sealing the bottom of the door, while the door jamb provides structural support and houses the hinges and latch. Both are essential components of a door frame, with the door sill acting as a transition point and the door jamb providing stability and functionality.</p></div>

I asked them to clean my porch and my sidewalk as well (this was not included in the Deal that I prepurchased) and he did that at no extra cost.
They were clean, professional, and very good. I would certainly use them again.
