The inspection of the door has been done. Cracks were found at the top and bottom. The daylight was shining right through the bottom portion of the door. Water damage was done around the molding that was worn out. A gap was spotted in the door jam. The screen door is falling off on one side and barley hanging on by the hinge. Just what you thought would be seen, time to replace that door and make it new again.

Grab a measuring tape and measure the height and width of the entrance or exit door and door jams to be replaced. Write it down so you choose the right size. To install from new would mean taking the old out completely, sanding down rough edges and making the entrance or exit as large or as small as desired. Making a wider entrance means cutting the door to a desired length before another one is placed. Individual people can install themselves but may take more time if they have no experience. Hiring professionals might be a better option if one can afford the cost. Tools required are hammers, nails, nail gun and screw driver.

Just like an alarm placed on a door, the metal door would deter an intrusion from a thief. Alarms are not hard to install and most are wireless making things simple. They can also be placed on adjacent windows for added security.

Choosing colors for exterior doors is not hard. Look at the outside of your home and decide what color would blend in with the outside of the home. If the back entrance is to be replaced also, the homeowner can look for a specific color to accent that too. Make sure to have all the tools required to get the job done fast and accurate. Without them the job will take longer and an individual will become aggravated and may not finish the job before night fall. A door usually doe snot come with knobs. Besides replacing with new is better. No one wants an old knob on a new door, it defeats the purpose and look. Knobs from another door will not fit most new, so you would have to pick them up anyway.
