Double Door Installation in Atlanta

Double door installation is a specialized project that requires precise framing, leveling, and hardware alignment to ensure both doors operate smoothly and seal properly. In Atlanta, where homes and businesses often feature grand entryways or need wider access points for furniture, equipment, or high-traffic flow, installing a pair of doors demands careful attention to the existing rough opening and the weight distribution of each door panel. The process begins with measuring the opening width and height, accounting for any settling or unevenness common in older Atlanta properties. The frame must be reinforced to support the additional weight, and the header must be checked for load-bearing capacity. Once the frame is level and plumb, each door is hung on its hinges, with the gap between them set to prevent binding or drafts. For double doors, the astragal—the vertical strip where the doors meet—is critical; it must be aligned to ensure a tight seal and proper latching. In Atlanta’s humid climate, expansion gaps are especially important to prevent swelling that could cause doors to stick or fail to close. Whether the installation is for a front entrance, a patio, or an interior room, the work involves coordinating with the existing architecture to maintain balance and symmetry. This is not a simple swap of a single door; it requires careful planning to handle the increased width, the alignment of two sets of hinges, and the installation of a flush bolt or surface bolt to secure the inactive door. For Atlanta properties with historic or custom-built frames, additional adjustments may be needed to match the original trim and style.

• A site visit to measure the rough opening and assess the existing frame and flooring.
• Discussion of door type—solid wood, fiberglass, or steel—and swing direction (inward or outward).
• Removal of old doors and frame if needed, followed by reinforcement of the header and jambs.
• Hanging each door with heavy-duty hinges, adjusting for level and plumb.
• Installation of the astragal, strike plates, and lockset for both doors.
• Testing for smooth operation, proper sealing, and alignment of the gap between doors.
