Once demo is complete installation begins on the new entrances per landing. Parts are installed one by one angle linear (if applicable), sill supports, struts, frame, header, door track(s) and lastly hall door(s).
Now your frame is secured and leveled. Our last step is to reinforce the new entrance in place with a cement rough finish on every landing to close and remaining gaps between the hall landing and inside shaft.
