Door Types
Every Door Type, Installed Correctly
Doors that stick, swing improperly, or fail to seal are a daily frustration. APF gets every door right on the first visit.
Interior Doors
Replacing interior doors updates the feel of every room. APF installs pre-hung units in new rough openings or slab doors in existing frames, fitting each door plumb so it closes without a latch pull.
Exterior Entry Doors
Exterior doors on Cape Cod need to seal against wind-driven rain, resist coastal moisture, and hold up through freeze-thaw cycles. APF installs fiberglass, steel, and wood doors with proper flashing, weatherstripping, and exterior casing.
Sliding Barn Doors
Barn doors add character to Cape Cod homes where swing-clearance is limited. APF installs the structural header support, sliding hardware, and the door slab. Track and hardware selection included in the consultation.
Pre-Hung Units
Pre-hung doors arrive with the door attached to the jamb, ready to drop into the rough opening. APF levels and shims the unit correctly so the reveal is even on all three sides and the door swings freely without binding.
French Doors
French doors require a wider rough opening, matching astragal hardware, and careful alignment so both panels meet at center without gaps. APF frames the opening, installs the unit, and fits all hardware.
Pocket and Bifold Doors
Pocket doors disappear into the wall to save space in bathrooms and closets. Bifold doors work for laundry and wide closet openings. APF installs both types with properly framed pockets and adjusted hardware.
The Process
A Properly Hung Door, Step by Step
Rough Opening Check
Adalto measures the rough opening for plumb, level, and square before the door arrives. Corrections happen before installation, not after.
Unit Set and Shimmed
Pre-hung units are shimmed at hinge and latch sides for even reveal. Slab doors are fitted to the existing frame with consistent gap on all four sides.
Hardware and Sealing
Hinges, locksets, and deadbolts are prep-drilled and installed. Exterior doors get weatherstripping and threshold sealing before Adalto leaves.
Casing and Finish
Interior and exterior casings are installed and caulked. The door is swung, latched, and locked to verify operation before the job is signed off.

APF installs exterior doors with continuous weatherstripping on all three jamb sides, a quality door sweep at the threshold, flashing above the head jamb under the exterior trim, and caulked exterior casings. Adalto will not consider the job done until the door seals completely.
