mommy of an angel asked:


We have an indoor french door with 3 rows on small windows. Only 1 of those small windows is broken. How do I repair the window without damaging the rest of the door? How do I get the glass back into the door without breaking the rest of the glass? I don’t want to have to call the window man or buy a whole new door for 1 small windoe pane if I don’t have to.
The french door has 15 window panes.

Richard Dinae asked:


Doors that can be used on homes now come in many types for many applications. Usually the main factor in choosing the doors to use on houses will depend on the taste and the preferences of the owners. Having a functional and durable door are no longer enough nowadays; some people take it a step further and they often look for intricately-designed door and door of style. An example of door that is now chosen by homeowners who seek style and functionality is the French door.

What is known as the French door in the market is the door that features multiple windows. The more traditional type of French door is the one that is often assembled in the market will contain small pieces of glass and mullions. The French door types that are popular right now are the ones that are crafted with glazed door and these doors can be opened directly from the living room to the outside. Materials used in crafting these doors include timber, vinyl or aluminum. These doors can be hinged, folded or can be a sliding door as well.

The typical style of French door may incorporate glazed panels. The glazed panels that can be used on homes can be clear glass or special glasses that are designed to limit the solar transmission. The glazed panels that can be seen on these types of doors are decorative and these are known as stained-glass style of door. If the doors are made from timber, then the timber French door may be left in its natural wooden finish or can be painted as well depending on the taste and the preferences of the owner. The glazed type is just one of the many styles of French door. These doors can come as well as unglazed, pre-glazed with some beveled glass and these doors may also come complete with custom glass designs.

Aside from these styles, you can expect as well that these types of doors may come in other styles. Some of these styles include the door with wood mullions, the doors with grooved glass, the Bifold doors with beveled glass and the Bifold doors with tempered glass. The Bifold French door are now popular since these can be used as room dividers and can also add an extra dimension to the homes. French doors that can be added to homes may come in other styles as well depending on how these doors will be used. These two types of French door are the hinged French patio doors and the sliding French doors. The hinged-type of doors are considered as the more traditional type. The sliding-type of French doors on the other hand is just perfect for homes where space is limited. These doors glide smoothly and will facilitate easy access for the occupants of the house. Whichever designs or styles of French door you choose for your home, you can bet that this door will not only deliver cool styles but offer other roles as well. French doors are majestic additions to any homes and can be used as well to divide a room.

How hard is it to replace an exterior door on my house?

November 15th, 2008
door
Shawn asked:


Lowes and Home Depot want around $260-$275 per door to replace all 3 exterior doors on my house. I can’t see spending $780 just to replace 3 doors without even considering what the doors will cost. I know the new doors come with the frames attached and all. How hard is this to do? Is it something a DIY-er could do well?
I am having a hard time finding companies that install these doors. What should I look for in the yellow pages? Carpenters, Framers?

How Do I Install a Door Handle?

November 13th, 2008

Suzanne Lamoutte asked:


If you are looking to learn how to easily replace a door handle then you have found the right place. Installing a new door handle is something that anyone has the ability to do. But before we get into the steps of installing a door handle let’s first discuss buying the right door handle.

There are so many different door handles to choose from. You will find tons of different door handle designs as well as different companies selling them and manufacturering them. The design is of course the most important thing that you are going to be looking at when you are searching for a new door handle. But it is also important to know which companies offer the best quality products. There is no sense spending your money and your time on door handles that are not going to last long enough to get your money’s worth. Just keep that in mind when you are searching for door handles. Some of the good companies that manufacture door handles is Best, and Corbin Russwin. Best door handles are going to survive a beating, and so will Corbin Russwin door handles. There are a few other good quality door handles that you can choose from, but Best door handles and Corbin Russwin door handles.

Okay now there are other things that you are going to need to be aware of when you are buying door handles that are very important. You need to know which way that the door opens so that you purchase the correct door handle. Are the hinges on the right side of the door or on the left side of the door? But you also need to know if the hinges are on the outside or the inside. Remember this is very important and something that you must know before you buy the door handle otherwise there is a good chance that you will purchase the wrong door handle. And this is just a royal pain in the butt to have to go back to the store and exchange the door handle. There are some products that will have reversible door handles, but you will not know this until you begin searching, so it’s still important that you know which type of door that you have a right handed door, or a left handed door.

Now that we know how to purchase the right type of door handles let’s now begin to go over how to install a door handle.

First you are going to need to remove your existing door handle. So you are going to need to have a screw driver or a power drill to remove it.

Once the door handle is removed you can begin to attach the new door handle. The first thing you will need to put in is the door latch because the door handle is going to need to connect to it in order to open and close the door properly.

Okay now attach the door handles on both sides and screw all the screws securely into place. And you are done. Be sure to test that the door handle is working properly before you put your tools away.

And that is all there is to installing a brand new door handle or replacing an existing door handle.

ctrl-alt-delete asked:


A couple weeks ago but passanger side front door stopped opening from the outside. Either the lock is stuck in the lock position or the handle broken inside to door. I can open the door from the inside, and the power look switched on the inside, but the outer handle does nothing.

How do I get my dog to use the doggy-door to go outside and come back in if she’s scared of the door?

October 30th, 2008

lfyorkmo asked:


She’s a sheltie and very skittish. We’ve tried enticing her with treats and holding the flap open. She paws at the bottom of the doggy-door square-opening (between bottom of doggy door flap and the bottom of the actual door) as if she’s afraid it will trip her. I know she fits through the door because we’ve put a leash on her and gently pulled her through to show her how to use it, but it hasn’t helped. She doesn’t respond to treats or positive encouragement.
