Front Door Replacement: Knowing the Process

Installing doors involves several steps and it is crucial to replace the complete system for better installation. The process includes the replacement of jambs, hinges, threshold, hardware, and the slab. Consulting a professional door replacement company in OKC makes it seamless and hassle-free.

Pre-Installation Process

After getting your date scheduled by us, one of the project managers will arrive at your home and will begin with the technical measurements.

During this time, the project site will be checked along with double-checking the door measurements. Also, we will try to resolve your queries. After that, a checklist will be provided to get you prepared before installation.

Replacing the Front Doors

In some cases, door replacement in OKC seems to be as easy as exchanging one door for the other. However, in certain situations, the old framing needs to be replaced. (Especially when the threshold and door jambs start rotting).

Fitting a new door often requires you to even the bottom and the top to let it hang properly. But note that the same cannot be done with fiberglass and metal doors.

Checklist of Pre-Installation

Moving the furniture away- When furniture begins to block the door’s movement, it is advised to move them away for preventing the chances of damage.

Approval from homeowner’s association- Some of these associations comprises strict regulations regarding the design and style of doors. Fulfill the requirements of their prior approval before getting started.

Talk to the alarm company- Alarms need to be removed from the door at the time of installation. For complex alarm systems, get them reconnected by the alarm company after the replacement.

Eliminating decorative stuff away from the door- In some cases, the construction may cause movement on the nearby walls. Therefore, you should remove the decorative items from the walls to prevent damage.

Keeping kids and pets away- The equipment and tools used during the installation process can be risky for young children and animals. Hence, they should stay away from the project site to prevent accidents.

Cleanup Process and Precautions

It is our responsibility to ensure the cleanliness of your home. Here are a few things handled by the crew during the installation:

  • The team will wear masks while being inside your house.

  • Booties will be worn by them all the time.

  • They will put down the tarps on the exterior and interior to surround the doors.

  • The work site will be cleaned and vaccinated consistently.
