Hello. My closet bifold doors will not close all the way, but enough to cover the opening. This happens becuase there is a lot of paint buildup between where the doors close. I bought a new track kit and it came with new hinges. So I wanted to install those hinges to better increase the gap between the doors by an eighth of an inch, but my closet doors are kind of a hollow metal material, from inside the closet you can see the insides of the door. I was wondering how I would screw new hinges in a thin metal?? It is not like hollow wood doors. By the way the hinges now are welded onto the door. Maybe there is something that can sandwich the screw to the door....like back clips?

hi all! my first post! i will soon be installing some american craftsman 8500 series double hung windows. i have 12 to do. my existing windows are 30+ years old and are in poor shape. on the outside of these windows is a triple track aluminum storm window, with screen. on the exterior of the home, i checked them out. looks like they are caulked and screwed in. should i go OUTSIDE and pull these storms off first? my gut tells me i should -- we won't need yet another window and screen once i have the 8500's ... and i would think it would look pretty cluttered with all those tracks in front of the new window... also, wondering if these storm windows and tracks are attached to the blind stop that i'm going to butt up against the new window? any advice appreciated! tj
