"We used William to fix our 16 foot folding patio doors and we could not be happier with the result! We had a complete patio remodel done by another contractor 4 years ago, which included installation of the large patio door. We found that over time the doors dragged on the floor, eventually making it impossible to open them all the way. We contacted William and found out from him that installation of these doors can be difficult and the average contractor does not have the expertise or experience to know how to install them properly. William came over and spent the entire day removing the doors and reinstalling them correctly. We were so happy to be able to use our doors as they were intended! It has been 6 months now and they still work like a charm! William is very friendly and easy to work with. He was very responsive and was able to work around our schedule. Prior to meeting William we had contacted many other door companies in the metroplex, but no one offered the service that William does. We highly recommend Patio Door Pro!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

You want a small gap of 1/8 of an inch between the door and the jamb. However, the gap size depends on the direction the door swings and whether it contains glass. You will also want to aim for the same size gap on all sides of the door, so it opens and closes smoothly.

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’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’s less clearance on the lock side.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

You can use wood, metal, or plastic as a door shim, but keep in mind that wood will rot easier than the other two materials. Your local hardware store should have at least one type in stock. Alternatively, you can trim a piece of cardboard to fit underneath your door hinge and work as a temporary, makeshift door shim.

The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.

It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.
