Get matched with top door pros in Bridgewater, SD

Q: What is the difference between a screen door and a security door?

• <div><p>Screen doors (sometimes called barrier doors) and security doors serve different primary functions. A screen door's main purpose is to allow airflow and keep pests out, featuring a lightweight frame and a mesh screen. A security door, however, is a heavy-duty structure designed to prevent unauthorized entry. Security doors are installed with permanent screws into the home's walls and are often equipped with deadbolts or other heavy-duty locking mechanisms for enhanced protection against intruders.</p></div>

Q: Are two door locks better than one?

• <div><p>You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it&rsquo;s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.</p></div>

Q: How much should I trim off the bottom of a door?

• <div><p>You should generally cut between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door. If you cut off more than that, you risk damaging the door. Planing too much from the bottom of your door can cause noticeable gaps, so it&rsquo;s always better to start with as thin of a section as possible and work in thin layers until your door no longer sticks. </p></div>

Q: Can you put a kick plate on a metal door?

• <div><p>Kick plates can absolutely be installed on metal doors. Many kick plates for metal doors are magnetic to avoid needing to drill into the metal, but many door manufacturers make kick plates that can be traditionally installed on metal doors using screws. Consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to see which is recommended for your door model.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>For most doors, you can use a 1-inch chisel to create the mortise for the strike plate. In addition, you can use a 3/4-inch chisel for more refined cuts and to clean up the edges of your mortise. The smaller tool is handy when squaring off the edges around the hole for your latch. </p></div>

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
