Doors come in many shapes and sizes: access, bi-fold, double, fire, French, garage, pocket, screen, sliding glass and storm doors, just to name a few. Doors are usually selected with function in mind first. Design elements from the home are then incorporated to get that fluid aesthetic feel.
Installing doors, whether pre-hung or custom is a large project, as is replacing or repairing a door. Doors must be measured and cut carefully for a secure fit in the doorjamb. From the beginning you need to ensure that the door frame is level. Uneven gaps in the doorframe, locksets that will not lock and door knobs that will not turn can be avoided by making sure measurements and cuts all align together.
The success of the job depends upon how snugly the door hangs in the doorframe. Placement of the lockset and door knob is crucial to the door’s function.
