Our Door Guide
We’re here to help.
Shopping for doors may seem simple until you get into the details.
Here at Metalocke in Queens NY, we do our best to make the selection process as simple as possible. Naturally, we are happy to answer any questions you have during the planning process.
What to consider when buying a door:
First you will need to decide if your project only requires new door slabs. Alternatively, will it be better completed using a new door system. When buying only a door you will need to source hinges, handles and a frame for your new door. Of course, that's assuming you are not re-using an installed frame.
Take a minute to consider how your door will be installed. Obviously, there are many options that could upgrade your home. Whether you want to make a discreet entry with a flat panel door, or open up light into your space with a French glass paneled door, don’t underestimate the power of the right door style and profile.
Browse our installation and profile options below to see what combination you prefer. Of course our experts are more than happy to talk you through the best option for your space.
There are many things you’ll want to consider when deciding on the material of your door. For instance, whether you want to stain or paint. Additionally, you may want a smooth or textured surface. Plus, you might want to add moldings or glass panels to your door.
Whether you want a solid or hollow core door, or something in between, there are sound, aesthetic, material, and other properties to consider when selecting your door.
How your door will swing depends on whether you are using an existing frame as well as the layout of your room and the placement of the door opening.
Take some time to think about what hardware will look best with your new door. Naturally, this will depend on the door style, installation type, and other elements in your home.
We offer hinges, knobs and handle sets in all finishes. Call us today for our full catalogue.
Whether or not your door size is standard, we can customize a door to fit your needs. In order to know what product options are best for you, you will want to have the measurement of your door opening available when looking at door styles. From there, we can design or provide prehung doors and panels for your chosen style configuration.
