Default Need to refinish a mahogany front entry door


"Doug" wrote in message

Found a local shop that does this work - they remove your door to their
shop for 7-10
days, and install a temporary door by screwing it to the door jam.

While that may be a secure way to install the door - am not receptive to
having 6 screw
holes left in the door frame.



Holes are easily filled and finished. I'd not be concerned at all. Easier
than posting a guard at the door at night. If these guys are pros, they
will do a pro job in the end.




What is the preferred method for installing a kick plate - glued, screwed,
or both?

Is the kick plate installed before the finish is applied?


Screws, after the finish is applied.
