Replacing and reversing a door swing from outward to inward swing
The new door installed on existing jamb
My client who found me on Angie’s List asked me to remove the old door and install a new door on the existing door jamb.
The reason to keep the old was, this old house had aluminum sidings, removing the door jamb means to disturb the aluminum siding and that would create a situation of very costly repair of the sidings.
Besides, to find the same exact sidings material with same color would be almost mission impossible.
After I measured the existing opening, I determined that this job can be done.
My client picked out a door from my catalog. It’s an insulated metal skin door with a window on top.
First, I removed the old door and the wood ‘door stop’ from around the jamb.
Then I installed new door stops, routed out the jamb and the door for the new hings.
I hung the door, bored for the new hardware, removed the old threshold and installed a new one made of oak.
The new door is ready to be installed

Now that my job is done, my client is going to take care of the painting job.
It was nice to find my client review of my work on Angie’s List.

That's great that you are able to reverse the door!
What a great job Dov! I have never thought to change the way my doorsswings…quite interesting….:)
I like them inward, most of the ones in FL are outward.
The inward swing looks better, Another costumer satisfied! Congrats Dov!
We had a door that we reversed the swing on it to save some space. I have to say that our building wasn't nearly as proficient as you and made a right mess of it!
Aredhel Eilde , Right you are
The white door looks way more inviting! I would think twice before knocking on that previous door lol Good work!
every front door i have ever had opened inward. the screen doors opened outward.
I wonder why someone would want the door to swing a different way. Interesting and looks great.
Great job as always Dov and great review by another happy customer
Wonderful job and great review, congratulations! You do such amazing work and make everything seem so easy, which we all know it's not. Great job as usual! 🙂
Awesome job! I love the way a good craftsman can make it look so easy. That's how my husband is with plumbing. I see why she gave you an "A".
Great work! Replacing old door with cool design and new technology with reverse door swing. cool
