"Dominick offered reasonable pricing and offered a solution that worked with our budget. We found he was more responsive and quicker to get back to us than others in the area, so we went with him and are glad we did. They replaced our front door frame and were able to keep some of the 'character' in it that we were afraid we would lose by getting rid of our original one from the 1940s (which was rotting). Our family members have already commented how nice the new door frame looks. We would hire them for future needs and recommend to others."
"I told Ariel at our first meeting " If I am spending money like this I expect perfection". Ariel and his staff did just that and more. Always returned my phone calls, he kept me informed and up to date on the materials. We had some weather issues this year but that only delayed a few days. Once the weather cooperated , the guys were on it and had it all said and done in less than a week. We had our roof replaced and installed solar powered roof vents , new gutters and downspouts. We also needed a new patio door. Our house has a east(front) and west(back) setting and the kitchen is in the back so you can imagine try to keep the kitchen comfortable to cook in the warmer months and warm in the cooler months with the wicked northwest winds. We chose a sliding triple pane door. Ariel suggested we tint it to cut back on the sun rays. You can't even tell there is a tint until you open the door. If a door could be pretty, this works for us. This is no door you go buy all put together and pop in, Ariel had to assemble then install it. The door in completely trimmed and sealed to which we will probably never have to replace. Our intent when we started this project was to do the better job with everything and Ariel understood that. We are so pleased with the work he has done , he will be the first one we call for the next project. "
"Very great staff, easy to work with, knows what they are talking about, and what they are doing. Ordered 8 windows and a sliding door. Everything came pretty quickly and within a day or two they were installed... enjoyed working with them... thanks guy..."
You might be able to turn a normal door into a fire-rated door, but you’re better off purchasing one that meets all NFPA 80 standards. If you want to DIY a normal door into a fire door, you’ll need a self-adhesive intumescent seal, metal hinges, fire-resistant glazing, and a self-closing device, but you’re always better off buying a certified fire door.
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.
Continuous hinges are some of the sturdiest hinges available, which makes sense, given that they provide support along the entire side of the door. These hinges are often used for heavy commercial doors, but are impractically expensive and unnecessary for residential use. Among the hinges commonly used in homes, the ball-bearing hinge is the strongest, and it reduces friction to help heavy doors open more smoothly.
Security doors are not limited to standard sizes, and you can customize them to fit your needs and entryway dimensions. That's one of the fantastic things about security doors—they can be tailored to match your home. Keep in mind that a custom-sized security door will likely cost more than a standard size.
Standard door sizes aren’t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors—like your front door—36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you’ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. “Standard” only works if it matches what’s already in place.
