Have the door and lock ready, or ask us what to buy.
Good to know
A new front door only performs as well as its frame and its fit. We check the opening is square, shim the frame properly and anchor the hinges with long screws into the framing. We also prepare the door for the lock you have chosen. If your opening needs structural work, we will say so, because that is a job for a contractor.
When this is not the right fix
Structural changes to the opening need a contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me choose a door?
We advise on lock and security features. The style and insulation are your choice.
Do you paint or stain the door?
We fit and adjust it. Painting and staining are separate.
How long does an installation take?
Often a few hours, depending on the frame and the door.
