I need help on painting my steel door.

I want to paint my front steel door, there are some rectangular inserts.


So I am wondering whether a roller or a brush or something else would be helpful for the smoothest solution.


Yes, the door is alerady painted white.Do I still need a primer? Do I still need metal paint?


Would spray-paint (in a can) work?
I’m kind of looking for an easy way out…


Answer:


You will need 4 things:
Color matched metal Primer (Home Depot) [choose a color close to the final color you intend white->white brown->black]
Painters Tape (HD) [before starting tape out anything you dont want painted, do not rely on your steady hands, it will look something awful]
Metal Paint (Paint Store) [home depot will have general exterior paint but this is designed to soak into wood, its not exactly what you need, although over a primed surface it will sorta work.
Paint Sprayer or Roller and touch up brush (HD) (if you roll the paint on you will need 3 careful applicantions, if you spray it on 2, but then a sprayer will set you back $150, hand painting is also an option, use 3 thin layers and you will achieve an even coat that look very proffesional)


Its already painted…?


You need to asses the quality of the paint job. if it is peeling and has rust on it then you need to strip the paint first using something like a kerosene based paint remover. If it is not and the paint looks fine and you want to change colors, well go ahead and paint it using the method above without the primer.


Will Spray Pain work?
Yeah, spray paint will work, go to www.duplicolor.com and pick out a metal enamel and use that. I do not recomend using the outdoor paint they have. No matter what you do it will not look good. Spraypaint is not the right stuff for a job that is a front door to a house, but if you dont care what your house looks like, go ahead spray paint away, use 3 thin applications for a “fresh off the Honda Civic garage” look.

what is solid wood?

Solid wood is a term most commonly used to distinguish between ordinary lumber and engineered wood, but it also refers to structures that do not have hollow spaces. Engineered wood products are manufactured by binding together wood strands, fibers, or veneers with adhesives to form a composite material. Engineered wood includes plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and fiberboard. The fact that a product is made from solid wood is often touted in advertisements. However, using solid wood has advantages and disadvantages.

[edit]Solid wood vs. engineered wood

Perhaps the greatest advantage of solid wood is its looks. Most people consider it more attractive than engineered wood, such as fiberboard. It is also more attractive than oriented strand board, but OSB is rarely used where it can be seen. Plywood has a similar look to wood, but its layered structure is visible on the ends. The appearance of fiberboard is sometimes enhanced with a solid wood veneer or other overlays, such as formica or vinyl. Solid wood is stronger than fiberboard, but not as strong as plywood or oriented strand board.

Many engineered woods immediately start to fall apart if gotten wet, unlike solid wood.

One of the most important disadvantages of solid wood is cost, as it is usually significantly more expensive than engineered wood. Engineered wood can be made from waste material like sawdust and chips, but solid wood requires large sections of wood that are relatively free from defects. Composite wood can also be made with trees that have soft or hard wood, while solid wood must be made from species with relatively hard wood.

Any one know how to remove the steel door frame from wall?
I have a 70`s old steel door frame in my house, it is in the brick wall.


I would like to know some efficient way to removal method then we can brick up space.


Answer:


The most often way is use a metal fins going into between brick. When you get the frame prayed away at the bottom, most of them will let go but if they are stubborn you may want to use a sawsall with long metal cutting blade to defeat them.


Check for screws into door jam. Start at the bottom and pry it loose on both sides, then the top will fall loose when you pull the sides out.

Nice steel door includind sidelight?
Now I have to replace all part of my exterior door, any part of it. the sidelight, door, casings, threshold, etc.


There will be sidelights. unfortunately, I can’t get the in fiberglass w/ 10 in sidelights. I can, but I do not have $3000 to spend. The door will have a 3/4 oval glass.


I will be putting up a white unit with a black storm door (to compliment black shutters) w/ plain glass.. I’m ordering it from Lowe’s or home Depot.


Here I am confusing about wether a steel door will warp?Can it get dented easier? That`s the question I am worry about.


I am not replacing my steel door and the sidelight are wood- the wood has rotted on a 5yr old house. This is why i’ve got to replace the door. Wood is not an option.


So please give me some idea, I now  know fiberglass is better. Any suggestion?


Answer:


The good steel door is pretty sturdy, they wont wrap. They can even dents it if someone kicks them, or they get banged on with any objects.


What caused the wood side lights to rot? If they were properly installed, primed and painted they should easily last 10 to 20 years.


I have a 18 years old steel door, it works for so many years, and the wood door wont do it possible.

what is garage door

A  a large door on a garage or carport that can either be opened manually or by a garage door opener. Although of many designs, most garage doors are sectional, upward-acting, and self-storing. Garage doors are necessarily large to allow passage of automobiles and/or trucks.


Garage doors can be made out of many materials, but steel, wood. and vinyl (polyethylene) are the most popular depending on the geographic area.


A common material for a new garage door is roll formed steel sheet to look like a raised panel wooden door. A design mimicking carriage house doors has become quite popular since about 2002, and many manufacturers clad the exterior of a steel door with composite or vinyl boards to give it the look of an outward swinging door. A more economical alternative for carriage house garage doors is steel stamped to look like a carriage house door.


A typical garage door may weigh hundreds of pounds, and is typically sprung by a torsion or extension spring to counterbalance the weight of the door. The great force on these springs can make them dangerous to replace for the inexperienced or incautious handyman. Many cases have been reported where even experienced garage door technicians have suffered severe lacerations and/or broken bones in the replacement of garage door springs. Garage door torsion springs are rated in cycle life, with 10,000 cycles being the industry standard minimum, and upgrades available to around 100,000 cycles. The average spring breaks about every 7 to 12 years. If a garage door has two or more springs and one breaks, all springs should be replaced to maintain proper balance.


The leading causes of garage door failure and/or replacement include lack of maintenance and being hit by vehicles. A proper maintenance schedule for a garage door includes lubrication of the rollers, bearings, pulleys, and springs once a year; washing painted steel surfaces several times a year; painting or refinishing wood surfaces as necessary; and making proper adjustments to the counter balance system as necessary to maintain door balance. A properly balanced garage door should be able to be stopped mid-travel without drifting down or up when operated manually.


Garage doors operated by an electric opener should be tested twice a year for proper reversing. To test place a 2″x4″ piece of lumber on the ground and see if the door reverses on contact. If not call a qualified, certified door technician. (Door technicians are certified by the International Door Association.[1]) Another danger area for doors are the bottom brackets. These brackets are under tremendous tension and should only be touched by a qualified door technician.
