Get matched with top door pros in River Heights, UT

Q: How are door thresholds attached?

• <div><p>Interior door thresholds are usually attached using finish nails, and some contractors will also use construction adhesive under the threshold to hold it in place. Exterior door thresholds are more commonly screwed to prevent them from pulling up when people step on the raised edge on the outside of the door. Exterior doors also include caulk sealant on the inside to prevent water and air from seeping through.</p></div>

Q: Should you paint doors on or off hinges?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s certainly easier to paint a door while it&rsquo;s still on its hinges, but you may get better results if you remove it from the hinges. Painting a door off the hinges allows you to work on it horizontally, making prep work easier, reducing drips, and allowing undisturbed drying time.</p></div>

Q: Can you get doors cut to size?

• <div><p>Many doors can be cut to size, but it depends on the door material. Solid wood doors are relatively easy to trim to a specific size, while hollow core and metal doors are trickier and can usually only be shaved down a little before you risk damaging them. If your door needs a lot of adjustment, it's best to order a custom size or have a pro do the resizing to make sure it holds up over time.</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: Which side of the hinge goes on the door?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Lois Diaz with GM Handyman did a fantastic job refinishing our front door and the wood framing the side windows. He was careful and thorough and communicated clearly about steps involved in the process. I will hire him again and recommend his services to friends.
