I had to break into my apartment after locking myself out. I busted through the wood that held the door in place and the trim. If that wasn't enough my girlfriend leaves her deadbolt key in the house then takes me to work. She comes back home and can't get in. So she busts through the deadbolt part. Now the only thing keeping the door from swinging open is the piece of busted trim i tacked on there. Anyways, i need some advice on how to fix the whole thing. Think of it as if someone shouldered through your door deadbolt and all. Or should i just call the apartment and deal with them fixing it? Any advice would help. Thanks.

I just installed a new double entry front door and it does not look right with the standard brick molding. I replace a single 36" with 2 14" sidelites with 2 32" double doors. I want to spruce up the molding to match the fancy new door i have. I have vinyl siding and wanted to add a pediment on top of the door (Urethane foam), Pilasters (vinyl snap in kit type like Vantage and Builders Edge found at Lowes and HD, and Mantles on top of all the windows same found at Lowes and HD. I have shudders on all the windows and i believe they go right through the vinyl siding and right into the wood. My questions are all around installation and finishing. How does the installation work with vinyl siding. The guys at Lowes did not know. I want to get it ordered soon before snow flies. So, do i put it right over the brick molding, or do i surround the brick molding just outside the J channels, or do i cut back the vinyl siding and butt up to new J channels for pilasters and window mantles. This still leaves me wondering how to finish the Pediment above the door. There is no way to work around all the detail work with vinyl. Do i adhere it to the vinyl siding with liquid nails or do i nail or screw through the urethane foam molding, through the vinyl siding and into wood, then patch up and paint the holes. Thanks for any advice.
