Alignment and Sealing Determine Long-Term Performance

Each door is installed with shims placed behind the hinge side and latch side to maintain square alignment, then screws are driven through the frame into solid framing. In Coopersville, where seasonal temperature swings cause wood and composite materials to expand and contract, proper shimming prevents the door from warping or rubbing against the jamb over time.


After the door is secured, you will notice it swings or slides without catching, the lockset engages cleanly, and there is no visible light showing through the edges when the door is closed. The threshold sits flush with the interior floor, reducing the risk of tripping, and the sweep along the bottom blocks air movement and insects from entering. Drafts near the door disappear when the weatherstripping compresses evenly along the entire perimeter.


Sliding patio doors are installed on track systems that are cleaned and leveled before the panels are set, and rollers are adjusted so the door glides with minimal effort. The installer will explain hardware operation, lock function, and maintenance steps to keep the door performing correctly. All installation work is completed to meet manufacturer specifications, which supports warranty coverage if issues arise later.

These answers cover what homeowners typically ask first

The questions below address how door installation works, what to expect during the process, and how to prepare your home before the crew arrives.

  • How long does it take to install an exterior door?

    Most standard exterior doors are installed in three to five hours, including removal of the old door, shimming, sealing, and hardware installation. Custom or oversized doors may require additional time for adjustment and trimming.

  • What causes a door to stick or fail to latch properly?

    Sticking and latch problems usually result from the frame settling out of square, hinges loosening, or the door itself swelling due to moisture. Replacing the door with proper shimming and sealing restores smooth operation and prevents the issue from returning.

  • Why do sliding patio doors become hard to open over time?

    Dirt and debris collect in the track, or the rollers wear down and no longer turn freely. Cleaning the track and replacing worn rollers during installation restores smooth gliding, and regular cleaning after installation helps maintain performance.

  • When should I replace a door instead of repairing it?

    If the door frame is rotted, the door itself is warped, or gaps remain even after adjusting the hinges and weatherstripping, replacement is usually more reliable than repeated repairs. A new door installed correctly will perform better and last longer.

  • What should I do to prepare for door installation in Coopersville?

    Clear the area around both sides of the door, move furniture or planters that may block access, and plan for the entryway to remain open for a few hours during installation. The crew will cover the opening if weather conditions change unexpectedly.

Legacy did an awesome job with explaining the job and claim process for my roof and bathroom repair due to tornado damages. Being a first-time home owner I was overwhelmed and nervous thinking about it all beforehand. These guys made that all easy for me by assisting me with the claim and got the work done in just two days, both bathroom and roof! Very pleased with the work and professionalism. Legacy truly looks out for their customer's best interest. Thanks Legacy, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
