All,
Need to refinish my mahogany front entry door - would like to undertake this myself, however not clear this would be the best course of action.
Understand that finishing in place is not practical and I do not have a spare door to put in place while the door is off being refinished.
Spraying a large surface with multiple coasts of spar varnish in the house is also not a good idea.
Found a local shop that does this work - they remove your door to their shop for
7-10 days, and install a temporary door by screwing it to the door jam.While that may be a secure way to install the door - am not receptive to having
6 screw holes left in the door frame.My location is west Houston / Katy area.
Very much appreciate any comments / suggestions on how to proceed - including recommendations of craftsman / companies that are known to do reliable and high quality door refinishing.
What is the preferred method for installing a kick plate - glued, screwed, or both?
Is the kick plate installed before the finish is applied?
Thanks in advance for comments from the group!
Regards,
Doug
