New Door Problems
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2007 8:36 am
I installed a new prehung 36 x 72 exterior mobile home door yesterday. After installing the door I was attempting to install the door handle I had purchased at Lowes when I found the receiver of the door would not work. I called the mobile home center where I bought the door,.... and lo and behold, you can not use standard door kits you have to buy mobile home door handle and deadbolt kits, at 69.00
Needless to say I had to go back to the mobile home center and purchase this,
It seems like a shoddy design., the mechanism is a slotted sleeve that presses into the door like a compression fit but it still bulges out at the door edge, I had to use a piece of 2 x 4 scrap to straighten the door. Not a good design.
