"It all started out well after purchase of the initial Angie's list deal.  We promptly agreed on a date and a gentlemen came to measure and start the paperwork. Install date was set for 11/5/15. On 11/4, I was called about setting an install date.  My response was I already had one for the next day. Long story short, the company did not bother to tell me they had cancelled my appointment, they just acted like I never had one.  It was as though one side of the business did not know what the other side was doing. Since I made arrangements to be home on the 5th, I was not happy.  We finally settled on the 12th and the installation went smoothly enough.  However after completion, I noticed the installers had broken a piece of moulding in front of the patio door.  I know they realized they cracked it because they used clear caulk as a fix. I called the company and they said they would replace.  As of 11/30, the moulding still has not been replaced even though I was told the installer was picking up molding on 11/17.
I will say the person who came to measure and the lady who did the follow-up calling were professional. However, I can't say the same for the install side. The contact person was nice enough but he did not contact me to say the install was cancelled and to me it's taking way too long to replace the molding the installers broke.  I view it as a lack of integrity to cover up breaking the piece and not bothering to say anything to me.  The patio door is beautiful and I had planned to purchase a front door from them but have changed my mind.

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

The job is relatively simple, but it does require some skill. When planing a door, you run the risk of splintering it if you don't do it correctly. You’ll need to remove the door from the hinges in order to properly plane it, and removing and rehanging a door can be a two-person job. While planing a door is a straightforward repair, you’ll want to ensure it’s done right to avoid damaging your door.

If you have a handyperson or general contractor whose work you know and trust, they can definitely be the right call for the job. Adding weather stripping and sealing doors are tasks that fall perfectly within the handyperson’s standard remit—and installing the awning shouldn’t be a stretch for most contractors and handypersons either. 

If you have difficulty locating contractors who specialize in this level of door and window repair, you might start looking at trusty referrals for a local handyperson or experienced general contractor

You will need to cut or break a boomstick so it is wider than the door and long enough to anchor outside the door frame. Extend the broomstick horizontally under the doorknob, ensuring it's snug. Now using long screws and a drill, anchor the broomstick to the wall outside the door frame. Remember that you won't be able to open the door afterward. Do not proceed with this hack if your home has no alternative exit.

Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn’t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door’s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won’t do anything to stop them from picking the lock. 

Costs depend on hardware type, labor, door material, and whether full replacement is needed.
