You might ask yourself why should you hire someone to come install your doors when it seems like an easy task that you could learn how to do online, but such an important task needs to be done by a professional and I’ll tell you why.

Having beautiful and fully functioning doors is an important detail for any modern home. Doors aren’t purely for looks though. It is very important to have a strong and sturdy door for many reasons. They need to be tough to prevent against intruders, prevent flooding in areas that experience flood waters, be resistant to storm weather for areas that can experience hurricanes and tornadoes, and being something that overall makes yourself and family feel safe and secure. You should never gamble with safety by not having a professional do the perfect job.

*For interior house doors if you don’t hire someone you could run into issues down the line. Some of which include, not shutting properly, gaping between the door and frame, improper latching causing damaging to the locking mechanisms and more.

*Exterior doors need to be installed to make sure they can stand up to storm weather, intruders, and any rough and tumble play they may get from kids to delivery men.

*Front doors are a statement piece for the house but like exterior doors also need to be properly installed to make sure they function properly. Having poorly installed front doors and exterior doors can cause issues from leaking cold air out all the way to safety concerns!

There are also several different styles and types of doors that require different installation methods.
Swinging doors use hinges to open.
Sliding doors use tracks that are installed on the bottom and top of the frame.
Pocket doors slide completely into wall and require extra installation requirements.
Bi folding doors fold in half towards the door jamb and also require tracks to be installed.
Pivoting doors are installed by the top and bottom of the frame using metal rods so it swivels open.

When installing a door, a professional will make sure everything is measured out properly, everything is installed correctly, and everything is working perfectly. Doors that are not installed correctly could cause several issues from minor to severe. Some prime examples of which are, doors that stick, doors that bang onto the wall or objects behind them, doors that scrape against the ground when you use them, doors that don't hold A/C or heat in, doors that aren't secure from intruders, door frames that have gaps for pest to crawl in, entryway doors that can't keep out the elements, and even damage being done to the door itself during installation.

So, in theory, you could try to learn how to install your own door but would it really be worth all the issues that could come with that? Hire a professional to do the job right and you’ll be able to sleep like a baby knowing that the it was done correctly.
