Who Hangs Front Doors?
I found some salvage front doors for my brownstone(96×56 with window). I now need someone who will do an excellent job of hanging them and replacing hardware etc so they are secure. Any recommendations? I am reticent just to get a “handyman” since this is a matter of security and they are such heavy doors.

We have replaced front doors on historic buildings.
Finish fit is not the issue, sub frame is. This is not a 1 day job. I have temporarily rehung old doors while we fixed frame.
How plumb and strong is the frame? old doors are heavy and unforgiving. The carpentry skills involved are not common today. Ideally you want a hinge arrangement in which one finger can operate either door effortlessly. This will only occur if you are not working against gravity because you are absolutely level.
How is the masonry opening? Your plumb frame will need to be the largest rectangle that can be installed within a usually crooked masonry opening.

I think Daveinbedstuy replaced his front door recently. He’s been on vacation though so may not have seen your posting.
Has anyone personally had a front exterior door hung? would love to hear your personal experiences… I’m a little weary of general “call so-and-so” or “I can do it for you” responses without further details…
