Installing new interior doors is a simple home remodeling project that updates the look of your house. Glass doors, for example, open up a space and let light travel through your home, making it appear larger. If you aren’t sure where to start in the door replacement project, follow this simple guide.

How to Plan & Install Interior Doors

Size

If you want to add a new door to an existing frame, go around your home and measure the height and width of each door you want to replace. If you intend to replace the frame with a larger one, measure how much space is available on either side of the door, noting electrical outlets and other home features that could be in the way. This will ensure you have the precise specifications to provide an expert to help them choose a door that best fits your space.

Design

In addition to basic swinging doors, there are several other options to consider. You may want to add a sliding model, double doors, or even glass doors to transform the look of a space completely. Once you've chosen your favorite model, a door contractor can help you pick other materials, such as panels, molding, and different types of knobs and handles to match the rest of your decor.

Installation

To ensure your interior doors are installed correctly and won't stick to their tracks or hang at an angle is to hire a professional service. If your doors are made of glass or have glass parts, professionals can ensure it’s delivered, handled, and installed safely to prevent any cracks or breaks that could damage your new feature.
