Talk to one of our sales associates at our door department and purchase a door you would like to use as a replacement. Our door shop will use your old door to match the hinge & door handle placement on your new door. In 1-3 business days, your new door will be ready to be picked up or delivered!
STEP 3: Install your new interior door
To install your door, simply reverse the steps you took to remove your door. First install your door hardware (hinges & door knob), then carefully lift it into place. Screw the hinges back into the door frame using original screw holes. Finally, you can use a hammer to tap the hinges into place.
