Whether you are installing new entry doors in Atlanta, or having your old doors replaced, it is advisable to take several preparations before proceeding with the project. This will make your door installation project easier, and protect your home from any unnecessary damage.
Prepare the area where you will install your door
Make sure you move any furniture that might get bumped or damaged. If you have a bookshelf near your door, wrap it with any piece of cloth.
Clean the area
You don’t want to step on shards of wood or any particles while having your door installed. It’s also vital to work only with the materials that are necessary for your project. You wouldn’t want pieces of paper mixed into your door finish, or confuse your clock screws for your door nails.
Remove your old door or leave the job to your contractors
If you are replacing your old door, you must first remove it, including the threshold. Carefully unscrew your old strike plate. This is the metal plate that is attached to the doorjamb. Remove the flexible wood strip from the original threshold. If this part isn’t present, you would need to chisel the surface flush or cut out the whole sill.
Not everyone can do this procedure on their own. To make sure it’s correctly done, we recommend that you contact your trusted contractors if you are planning to have new doors installed.
