A door installation can be simplified by following a few great tips from a certified expert. First, before buying the door, measure the opening width and height. Whatever measurements you get, add an inch on each side to determine the appropriate door size. Next, before installing your door, you must check the bottom of the opening to confirm its level.
Use liquid nails and layer them on the edge of the bottom opening. Set the bottom in first and then lift the door at pace. Ensure the bottom of the door is at the center of the opening. Once it is in place, check the door's reveal for gaps and then drill the screws in.
Use flashing tape to cover doors that are on the outside of the house with no cover over them. This rubberized tape is used to seal windows and doors and protect them from extreme external conditions. With the flashing tape in place, rain does not go behind the door; instead, it flows over it outside. Frame pads are used for pushing our weather stripping and making it air-tight.
