Installing a new door is a simple and great way to upgrade your home. Whether you’re replacing an existing door, putting the finishing touch on an addition, or filling a previously empty doorway, you have a few decisions you have to make before you can start. With all the options for types of doors, types of locks, and even sizes, it can be a little overwhelming when you are trying to find what works best for your house and your budget. These key steps will get you on the right path for that new door installation and will make sure you get the job done quickly and correctly.
The first step to new door installation is knowing exactly which kind of door you need and want. There are so many different types of door and styles to choose from so doing some research before you dive in would be a good place to start. Look at the level of security you want for the door along with the material it is made with. If you have a very modern home, a traditional wood door might not be the best option.
It is also good to look at the type of lock you want as well, especially for an external door. Will you be happy with a traditional cylinder lock, or are you thinking of upgrading to a smart lock? If you already have some smart home security elements, you’ll want to find a smart lock that can be integrated into that system.
Make sure you know the size of the door frame in addition to the size of the door. Nothing is worse than ordering a door and being excited when it arrives just to find out it is the wrong size. Now you are stuck waiting even longer to replace your door. These are all important factors when looking at the type of door you want to get.
