"This was our third door replaced by Renewal By Anderson, Heritage Window & Door, Superior, WI. Matt & Tyler couldn't have been more professional with the installation and customer service. We look forward to our fourth door replacement coming up this Spring. We can already tell the difference in less draft and more warmth in the area of the new storm door! When the gentlemen left, you couldn't tell anyone was here as their cleanup was spotless!"

"Very professional company. They set up an appointment with me to give me a bid to replace my garage door. They showed up when they said they would. Sent me a quote the next day and estimate as to when to expect delivery from the door company. The door showed as planned and install was scheduled. Jasonâ s installers showed and completed the job quickly and professionally. Being an elderly person, his promptness and expertise was greatly appreciated. I wouldnâ t hesitate to use him again."

"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."

Doors questions, answered by experts

Wood is more susceptible to damage than metal, and a wood door can benefit from upgraded locks, screws, and strike plates. Additional features like security doors, latch keys, and deadbolts are also a plus. Installing a comprehensive security system will also boost your home’s protection and make you feel safer.

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.

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.

Most modern door knobs will all fit in standard, modern doors, so if you know your door was made in the last 50 years or so, you should be fine buying a standard replacement door knob. The only exception would be a thumb latch handleset for an exterior door, as this type of door knob may not fit your door without drilling a mounting hole for the bottom of the handle. Antique or custom doors might also have different sizes and knob mounting holes, so call in a professional if you don’t believe your door is a standard one.

You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.
