Select a door based on personal style preferences and functional needs. For example, Marly chose a door with clear glass for more light and a modern look, sourced from Pease Doors.
Upon receiving the door, prepare for painting by taping up the glass. Use a specific paint suitable for doors and apply two coats, allowing each to dry for 24 hours. Lightly sand the door between coats for better adhesion.
Select and install new hardware for a cohesive look. Measure and drill holes for the doorknob and deadbolt, using appropriate tools or an installation kit if needed.
Attach new hinges to the door, aligning them with the existing screw holes in the door frame. Use stacks of books for support while securing the door into the door jam.
Once the door is hung and the frame painted, inspect for any imperfections. Touch up paint as needed, and add weather stripping around the door to ensure energy efficiency and a polished look.
