Door Replacement or New Installation? We Can Help You Measure for the Perfect Fit!

 

Thinking about upgrading your doors? Whether you're replacing a worn-out door or adding a new one to a fresh opening, proper measurement is key! At Rapid Repair Services, we want your new door to open smoothly into a beautiful future. Here's a quick guide to measuring for a perfect fit:

Taking Measurements from Your Existing Door:

The easiest scenario is replacing an existing door. In most cases, you can simply use the old door as a reference. Here's what you'll need:

• Tape Measure: Grab your trusty tape measure and take width, height, and thickness measurements of the door in three different spots. Record the highest value for each dimension.

What if the Existing Door Isn't Perfect?

Sometimes, the old door might not be the ideal reference. In that case, you'll need to measure the doorway itself. Here's what to focus on:

• Door Frame: Measure the opening in the frame at multiple points for width, height, and thickness (distance between the inner sides). To ensure a snug fit for your new door, use the smallest measurement you record in each case.

  • Width: Measure between the inner edges of the frame at the top, middle, and bottom.

  • Height: Take measurements from the floor to the underside of the top trim of the doorway at the center, left, and right sides.

  • Thickness: Measure the distance from the outer edge of the side frame to the inner edge.

Considering a New Door Installation?

We can help you there too! While the general measurement process is similar, there are additional factors to consider. Feel free to visit our showroom or contact us for a free consultation to ensure a smooth installation process.

Remember: Even the most precise measurements can't account for every little nuance. If you're unsure about any aspect of the measuring or installation process, our team of experts is here to answer your questions and guide you every step of the way.

Don't Get Blown Away by DIY Disasters: Why Pro Storm Door Installation is Key for Edmonton Homes

 

The crisp Edmonton air, the vibrant changing seasons – there's a lot to love about living in Alberta's capital. But harsh weather can quickly turn your haven into a battleground against the elements. A well-installed storm door acts as a shield, protecting your main door and enhancing your home's comfort and efficiency. While DIY storm door installation might seem tempting, here's why calling in the pros at Rapid Repair Services in Edmonton is the smarter and safer choice:

The Risks of DIY Storm Door Installation:

• Improper Placement: Storm doors need precise positioning for optimal functionality. DIY installation might miss the mark, leaving gaps that defeat the purpose of the door and potentially causing damage to your main door. Our certified technicians ensure storm doors are installed correctly based on your specific door and entryway.

• Weatherproofing Woes: A secure seal around the storm door is crucial to keep out drafts and moisture. DIY installation might overlook crucial weatherproofing steps, leading to energy inefficiency and potential water damage. Our professionals use high-quality weather stripping materials and techniques to ensure a tight seal that keeps your home comfortable and protected.

• Door Disasters: Storm doors come in various sizes and styles. DIY selection and installation can lead to a door that doesn't fit properly, swings awkwardly, or clashes with your home's aesthetics. Our team will help you choose the ideal storm door size, style, and material based on your needs and entryway measurements.

• Safety Concerns: Storm doors involve working at heights and using power tools. DIY installation can be risky, especially for older adults or those without experience. Our certified technicians prioritize safety and have the proper equipment to handle installation efficiently and securely.

• Hidden Hassles: Older homes might have unforeseen complications like uneven door frames or outdated hardware. DIY installation might lead to frustrating delays or require additional purchases you weren't prepared for. Our experienced technicians can handle these challenges efficiently, ensuring a smooth and successful installation.
