When we moved into our house the front door was secure, but an ugly steel door. Mrs Carrera decided it had to go. So we found a local lubber yard that still makes custom doors. She picked out the style she wanted, I said yes dear, and it was ordered.
I am not even remotely a carpenter, just a wood butcher. The door place gave us the name of an installer. He showed up with the door, the frame and a new storm door that all matched. He took down the old door, put in large lag bolts for the door frame, drilled out the lock hole and the put it all back up and never had to back up and start a step over. His first step was to throw away the instructions. It was cool watching a true craftsman just do it right the first time.
Over a decade later that door still opens and closes like a new one. No need to ever jiggle the handle, or lift or tug. Just turn the handle, and it opens, and closes with a solid feel. It is just done right. I would still be cussing at it if I tried to do it.
