Door Installation Basics

Proper door installation is essential for ensuring long-term performance, security, and energy efficiency where varying weather conditions require durable and well-sealed doors. A well-installed door can enhance the appearance of your home, reduce heating and cooling costs, and provide better protection from the elements. At David Ogle Construction, we focus on precision and quality to ensure your door fits perfectly and operates smoothly.

Success in door installation starts with accurate measurements, especially considering the temperature changes. We ensure your door frame is properly prepared, accounting for any irregularities in height, width, or depth. Whether you’re installing a standard prehung door or sliding patio doors, correct measurements prevent issues like drafts or misalignment, which are essential in the fluctuating climate of East Tennessee.

When selecting doors for exterior use, it’s important to consider materials that withstand local weather conditions, including humidity and summer heat. We help you select the right door to balance insulation, security, and aesthetics, ensuring that your door will stand the test of time while complementing your home’s architectural style.

We order your custom door directly from the manufacturer. Once your door is received, we schedule an appointment to complete the installation by one of our trained installation professionals.

Choosing the Right Door Material

Our Installation service

Selecting the right door material for your home is crucial to ensure durability, security, and energy efficiency. Here’s a breakdown of popular door materials and how they perform in Chattanooga’s climate:

Fiberglass Doors

Fiberglass doors are highly durable and energy-efficient. They offer the look of wood but require less maintenance, making them ideal for Chattanooga’s humid summers and fluctuating temperatures. Fiberglass doors resist warping, cracking, and denting, and often come with foam insulation for superior energy efficiency.

Steel Doors

Steel doors provide excellent strength and security, making them a top choice for front entry doors. They are energy-efficient and durable, offering great protection against forced entry.

Wood

Wood entry doors showcase unique grain patterns and textures, typically crafted from solid hardwoods like oak, mahogany, or cherry. The door may feature traditional elements like raised panels, decorative molding, or glass inserts that enhance its visual appeal.

Sliding Glass and Patio Doors

Sliding doors are ideal for homes looking to blend indoor and outdoor living spaces. They allow plenty of natural light and easy access to backyards and patios. Manufactured with sturdy frames from your choice of vinyl, aluminum, steel, fiberglass or wood, they can be energy-efficient, with double and triple-pane glass options to improve insulation.

By understanding the advantages and potential drawbacks of each material, you can select the best option that fits your home’s needs and Chattanooga’s climate. Whether you're focused on security, insulation, or aesthetics, we help you make an informed decision.

Glossary of Door Terms

Prehung Doors

Prehung doors come as a complete unit, including the door slab, frame, and hinges. These are ideal for new constructions or when replacing an entire door. In Chattanooga’s humid climate, prehung doors help maintain proper alignment and sealing, reducing the risk of air leaks and water infiltration.

Slab Doors

A slab door is just the door itself, without a frame or hardware. This is a common option for interior door replacement in homes where the frame is already installed and in good condition. Slab doors offer flexibility and affordability, especially for remodeling projects.

Hinges

Hinges attach the door to the frame, allowing it to swing open and closed. In Chattanooga’s fluctuating climate, proper installation and alignment of hinges are crucial for long-term functionality. Hinges may require occasional tightening or lubrication to ensure smooth operation over time.

Lockset

The lockset includes the lock and door handle. For homes, high-security deadbolts or smart locks are a great option for added security. For interior doors, standard knobs or handles with privacy locks offer convenience without compromising style.

Weatherstripping

Weatherstripping seals the edges of exterior doors to prevent drafts and moisture from entering your home. This is particularly important to maintain energy efficiency during hot summers and cool winters. Regular maintenance of weatherstripping ensures your doors stay insulated and protected from the elements.

Threshold

The threshold is the bottom part of the door frame, providing a seal between the door and the floor. In Chattanooga, a properly sealed threshold helps prevent water intrusion and improves insulation, ensuring that your home remains comfortable year-round.
