I had a church Outreach group come help me with trying to get a door put into my back patio. I noticed that the door extended inside leaving about an inch or so exposed. I think this door was meant for a 2x6 frame and not 2x4. As you can see from my photos there is nothing exposed outside and it's pretty much flush with the siding period I'm planning to put vinyl siding up. My question is what do I do on the inside there so that I get rid of that? I thought about just putting another sheet of drywall up on that wall it's not that big and I already have to make major repairs to the wall.
The exterior jamb of the door should be flush with the exterior sheathing. Yours doesn't seem to have been installed at the right depth. So that should be changed, since it will reduce the depth sticking out inside. After that, if it still sticks out inside, you can always shim the studs on the interior wall so that 1 layer of drywall will be flush with the interior jamb.
Or install the door so that it protrudes the normal amount on the inside (1/2" past the framing) and trim what sticks out on the outside. (As Pilot Dane suggested).
Hello, The plastic/ vinyl sill cap on my entrance door aluminum threshold is cracked / damaged. I would like to replace it but could not find any alternatives as this sill cap seems to be of non-adjustable type or pretty much comes with aluminum threshold. (Pic attached for reference)
So i was wondering, if anyone can help me with the following 2 questions:
1. Can i replace this cracked plastic/vinyl sill cap with an adjustable one? if yes, how would determine the size of new adjustable sill cap?
2. if this cannot be replaced with an adjustable one then where can i buy plastic/vinyl replacement sill cap? any guidance on how determine replacement sill cap width + length will be very helpful.
Thanks in Advance.
