Door Installation, Replacement, & Repair in North San Diego County California

Doors are one of the most important component of a home’s functionality. From protecting items in the garage to providing privacy in the bath, doors are essential to daily life. It doesn’t matter what type of door it is, to function properly, it must be in good working order.

Door replacement

Doors that are damaged by overuse or abuse might need to be replaced. Properly working doors should fit securely in the framing, open and close without force, and operate with little or no noise. Other problems might include peeling veneer, holes, or dents. Door replacement is a big job and you should contact a professional like Rapid Repair Handyman.

Different Types of Doors

Depending on the use, a door can be constructed from metal, hollow wood, solid wood, or glass panes in a wooden or metal frame. Interior doors are usually hollow, as they do not need to be as strong and secure as exterior doors. Exterior doors can be solid wood or metal. They are designed to withstand the elements, such as wind or heavy rain.

Garage doors can be made of wood or metal. They can be constructed of hinged sections that flex when the door is raised or a roll of corrugated metal that furls and unfurls as the door is raised or lowered.

Bi-fold Doors Installation

When it comes to closet door installation, bi-fold doors are the most common option. Bi-fold doors offer maximum access to whatever is inside the closet because both doors can be fully opened at the same time. This is more practical than a sliding door system that only allows access to one side of the closet at a time.

Bi-fold door installation requires special tools and hardware, and maneuvering the door into place and fitting it into the track by yourself is difficult. Your best bet is to call Rapid Repair Handyman and have him install these doors for you.

Bi fold doors can also be used on stand up showers, particularly in small spaces such as apartments, RVs, or mobile homes. When used in showers, bi-fold doors are constructed of a metal frame with glass inserts.

Wardrobe Doors Installation

A walk in closet, or wardrobe, is larger than a normal closet and allows one to step inside to choose clothing and accessories. Most commonly, wardrobe doors are of the sliding variety. They can be made of wood, glass, louvered metal, or a combination of materials. Wardrobe door installation is similar to bifold door installation. A special track is installed and the doors are fitting into the track. Even though it sounds difficult, it is something Rapid Repair Handyman has done many times.

Barn Doors Installation

Sliding barn doors are the current trend in home design. Barn doors can take the place of any interior door in your home. Because they travel on rollers attached to a metal track, barn style doors are space saving. They do not open outward so they have a flush footprint.

Barn door installation is not difficult, but these solid wood doors made from reclaimed barn wood are incredibly heavy. Hanging a barn style door is easily a two man job. To be sure it is done correctly, and to avoid hurting yourself, contact Rapid Repair Handyman. He and his team have the right levels, drills, and lifts to install these massive doors.

This style of the door adds value as well as an appearance of luxury to a home, but many people wonder whether barn doors offer sufficient privacy. For maximum privacy, two overlapping doors should be installed. This additional overlap increases privacy, letting in less noise and light from the outside.

Door hardware replacement

If your doors are in good shape, but you want to change the look, consider replacing the door hardware. Hinges in a different shape or finish can create an entirely different effect. A new paint color is a great way to update a dated look. If you decide to give your door a facelift with new hardware and paint, call Rapid Repair Handyman for help. He will also be able to inspect the door framing and walls for any unseen damage that might need repaired.
