Light comming through all four corners of my entry door when closed?

I’ve installed an masonite steel entry door (prehung). I noticed light is comming through all four corners of the door. It’s not ovbious however, it gives me indication air is leaking. I was told by the guys at Home Depot a little bit of that is normal and you can repair by weather stripping. The door has a form compression strip all the way around the door jam. I notice there is this rubber submarine weather stripping you can buy and screw in along the entire jam. I was also told my door might of not been square. It closes, locks and opens smooth.

Answer:

Very common problem, The form compression strips need to be removed and replaced with new ones. Cut them about 2 inchs longer at each corner. However..were the weather strip pushes into the door jam you will have to strip back just the part that pushes in leaving that couple inchs of overhang. Masonite makes all sorts of door steal, wood composite and I hate every single one. Thier composite doors are the biggest pieces of crap but they are cheap and the other alternative is a solid door $$$$ I guess if we were all rich we would leave this probelem up to Jose’.

First, most steel door are cheaper that fiber glass. Fiberglass wont have the dents problem,but steel door will.

Why my garage door open and close by itself?

My garage door is opening and closing by itself, as if someone else has the same frequency.?

My garage brand name is “Genie Excellerator” and I often find the garage door is up upon returning home,as if someone else had opened my door, even though I know I closed the door when I left the house.

Answer:

you can change the . frequency,
undo the back of your remote, and pre set the #s
say they were, 1234
change to 4321, the other remote must be changed as well

To address your question: We had the same problem for quite some time. We pushed the button and thought the garage door had gone down as we drove off. But it had not. The device that fits over head in the garage was not working properly and sometimes it closed, sometimes it didn’t and sometimes he came down halfway and stopped. Had to replace the whole unit.

To the second part: Yes, someone else could have the same frequency. There are crooks who drive around testing out their remote controls to see if they can open garage doors because they KNOW there are same frequencies. Contact the company and ask them what to know. I wish I knew the answer it would save you the call and frustration but I don’t. Good Luck.

Do i need such a door to use a hard top for my jeep wrangler?

Do i need full steel doors to use a hard top for my jeep wrangler?

The half doors that i use with my soft top. Can i use these with a hard top that i am about to purchase or will i need to purchase the full steel doors with the glass windows?
Thanks!

Answer:

You don’t necessarily have to use your full doors you can run with you 1/2 doors provided you have the right top half to match the contour of the upper back corner of the door to the hardtop. Some YJ doors have a rounded corner and other come through with a squared off corner. You might just have to get an upper door that will match your hardtop and then just switch when you change back to the rag top.

Which is a more engergy efficient door?

A hollow-core door or a solid exterior wood door w/ 10 glass panes?

We want to replace our old door but are concerned about energy-efficiency.

We live in San Francisco and dont use heating and never use air condition.We both agree that the door with the panes would be much more attractive.

I think that the glass-paned door could provide us with passive solar heating through the panes (we don’t have any windows on that side of the house), but my sweetie thinks that the heat loss from the panes would negate any solar heating effect.

Is the hollow-core door more energy-efficient than the solid door with glass? And if so, how much more? Or is weatherstripping more of an issue?

Answer:

R-Value is the measure of the resistance of heat flow through a particular product. There are window panes out there that can give you a higher r factor than some hc doors. But, since your cottage is from 1899 realistically it won’t make much difference. A house built today will have, usually, an R-11 wall, most windows today will be an R-4 or so. A house built in 1899 did not have standards like these of today. See below:

But to answer the question, I would compromise, and get a door with glass at the top which would give you light and satisfy your husband as well. A HC door does not provide much insulation at all. You were right about the weatherstripping though, a door or window that doesn’t have good airtight seals will lose more than just having a glass or HC door.

My steel door easily transfer the sound and cold!

I have a steel door it is not a good sound and cold carrior.

Do I replace or can I clad it?

Answer:

Cladding will not deal with your situation.Your steel door is probably not insulated, which is why it transfers the cold and sound pretty easily. Depending on where you live, you may wish to replace. Good luck.

My steel door now sweats!

My steel door is painted black,but now it is sweats! What is going on? 

The door is sweating on the outside, and I live in the South, the temp outside right now is 55 degrees

Answer:

Your interior is very moist and your steel door is not insulated well.

I would like to know what country you are living in,maybe the cold from outside is migrating throught your door.

The warmer humidity on the inside condenses on the colder door and creates water droplets.

If you lived in the North you would install an insulated door or a storm door to moderate the outside temp. And we would enjoy all that moisture in the air..

“wood door”,”wooden wood” what`s the different?

Because the same thing , wood door and wooden wood, but some people would like to use wood than wooden door. And some others will not.

So I am so interesting in the real different about these two phrases.

Answer:

I think wooden door is the better one. If there is an adjectival form of the modifier, use it. If there’s only a noun form, the noun can be used as a modifier, but it’s more clumsy. I would guess that because “wood” is such an old word in English (compared to, say, aluminum), it has had more time to develop an adjectival form. Also, English used to be more inclined to inflect (basically, add suffixes to) words that it is now.
