When Should You Replace a Door?

• The door is rotted, cracked, or warped and no longer seals.
• It sticks, drags, or won’t latch even after adjustment.
• The frame or strike area was split during a forced entry.
• An exterior door is hollow-core and easy to kick in.
• You feel drafts or see daylight around the edges.
• You need a fire-rated or commercial-grade door for code or insurance.

Door Replacement After a Break-In

Forced entry often splits the frame and strike area even when the door itself looks fine. We secure the property first, then replace the damaged door or frame and reinforce the strike side with heavy-duty plates and longer screws that anchor into the wall framing, so the opening is stronger than before.

If the door can’t be replaced right away, we can temporarily secure the opening and return with the new door once it arrives.

Residential Door Replacement

For Bethesda homes, we install solid-core wood, fiberglass, and steel entry doors, as well as interior doors for bedrooms, offices, and closets. We can pre-drill for a deadbolt and handle set, rekey the new locks to match your existing key, and weatherstrip the opening so it closes quietly and seals tight.

Commercial Door Replacement

For offices, retail, and multi-family buildings, we install steel and hollow-metal doors, aluminum storefront doors, and Herculite glass doors, along with closers, panic hardware, and keyless entry. When possible, we tie the new hardware into your existing master key system so staff keys keep working.

Choosing the Right Door Material

Each material has trade-offs. Steel entry doors offer excellent strength and value and are a popular choice for security upgrades. Fiberglass resists dents, rot, and humidity and can mimic the look of stained wood, which suits many of Bethesda’s older colonials and Tudors.

Solid-core wood provides a classic appearance and good sound control but needs periodic finishing. For businesses, hollow-metal steel doors and aluminum-framed glass storefronts stand up to heavy daily traffic.

We’ll walk you through the options for your opening, your budget, and your HOA or building requirements, so the door replacement Bethesda property owners get from us fits both the look of the building and its security needs.

Security Built Into Every Installation

• Heavy-duty strike plates with 3-inch screws anchored into the framing
• Grade 1 or Grade 2 deadbolts matched to the door
• Hinge-side reinforcement and security screws on out-swinging doors
• Proper alignment so the latch and deadbolt engage fully
• Optional keyless entry, smart locks, or high-security cylinders

Our Door Replacement Process

• Assess and measure the opening, frame, and existing hardware.
• Recommend options and provide a clear written quote.
• Remove the old door and prepare or repair the frame.
• Install, align, and weatherstrip the new door.
• Install and test the locks so the bolt throws smoothly and fully.

Caring for Your New Door

A well-installed door should give you years of trouble-free use. Lubricate hinges and lock cylinders with a dry graphite or Teflon-based lubricant once or twice a year, keep weatherstripping clean, and tighten hinge screws if the door starts to sag.

Refinish wood doors when the finish dulls, especially on sun-facing entries. If a door begins to stick or the deadbolt no longer lines up, call us early: a quick adjustment is far cheaper than repairing a frame or lock damaged by forcing it.

Every door replacement Bethesda customers book with us includes a final walkthrough, so you know how your new locks, closers, and weatherstripping work before we leave.
