Removal Options

If the door is being replaced with a new one, the hinges are detached and the old door is discarded. The installer checks the hinges for proper operation and solid anchoring to the edges. The frame is examined for damage that may need repair. If the door is being removed permanently, the hinges are taken off the frame.

Cost Variances

If any damage is found around the frame after the door is removed there may be extra costs for the materials and labor involved with making repairs. Additional trim or finish may also be needed to give the doorway a more desirable aesthetic appearance. Heavier doors often require two workers, which increases labor time.

Professional Assistance

Working with a professional is recommended for large projects or when an accumulation of paint makes the hinges difficult to work with. An experienced carpenter can ensure that the doorway is properly examined for underlying damage, weakness or rotting wood. If attaching a specialty door or additional trim to finish out the doorway, they have the tools and skill needed for a professional result.
