Q:How do I paint my brown exterior metal door white?

Lightly sand door with a fine grit sand paper (this is needed so that the paint has a surface on which it can cling to. Wipe of dust and let dry. Spray paint primer made for metal. Once dry, spray paint desired color. I have been using spray paint a lot more lately and find it goes on easier and looks nicer than painting on color. I use it when I paint furniture.

Q:i have a metal (aluminum) door - very thin sheet on each side and then it has a styrofoam like insulation in the inside. well, the people who lived her before cut a hole in it about 6 inches high 4-5 inches wide... my guess is for a pet of some kind. anyway, when i moved in it was covered with tape and filled with wall insulation. i want to fix it it doesnt have to be perfect by any means- its not even an exit door i use i just want it to stop letting cold and hot air in and out....my idea was something involving that spray can insulation.... but if i have tape on the one side while spraying that in im afraid itll leak..... any suggestions?

=== galvanized sheet metal is at the hardware giants === you can fold that G-Metal with a 2x4inch board as a form and then you can use aluminum poprivets [[ they are soft and will work well in the aluminum door ]] and then you can spray paint with Krylon

Q:Does metal security door lower the house value?

Hi Joyce73, No, I do not think so. Look around your neighborhood. If you see more than just your home with a security door, it may be quite acceptable. And a welcome asset of your property. ( Assuming you are the seller ) Your prospective Buyers won't think they have to add one to the home, that one is already installed. Make sure the door os in great working conditioning with no squeaks, working locks, and freshly painted if necessary,etc. Removing the security door might make even more work for you disposal, painting, patching and so on. If you are the new buyer of the area then check crime rates with your Law Enforcement officials of the neighborhood. Reverse the info about the other homes in the area regards to other homes door fronts..Having knowledge of your home and the area you will live in will be as Martha says ' a good thing' Good Luck!

Q:So I was holding on to my door handle and kind of leaning forward. The door opened and my elbow slammed into it, denting the door. Im pretty sure its metal and it looks really bad! Does any one know how I can fix it?This is not a car door it is the front door of my house!

You can use autobody filler on a metal house door. Same methods as a car. Practice with it on something else of no value if you have never used it before, Directions are on the can. Repaint the door as you normally would giving the patched area a prime coat first. see links for technique

Q:If so, what is the best way to do that? What is the best type of paint to use on metal doors?

Might want to consider washing the door with TSP (tri sodium phosphate) to etch the surface. Check this with the paint store.

Q:My sister just moved into a new house, and the door does not have a peephole. I feel that this is very unsafe for her and her children. There is no windows near the door to look out of either. I would like to install one for her but I do not know if you can install one into a metal door the same way you would a wooden door. If anyone has any advice for me I would greatly appriciate it.

Nope, you're going to have to buy a new house to put around the peephole. Haha just kidding. Yeah, you can get a peephole from your local hardware store. I'm sure it'll come with instructions for installation. It shouldn't be hard.

Q:I bought new doors for my bedrooms and bathroom, the doors I bought came with the holes already in them for the new door handles. My problem is I already painted the doors then realized that the handles on the existing doors are higher then the news. I have metal door frames and I am just wondering if it is possible to put new holes in the frame so that these doors will work. I really do not want to replace the door frames. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

Forget the kit from Amazon. You can by a hole saw in the proper size from any home improvement store for significantly less and you don't have to wait for it to arrive.

Q:Does the steel door belong to a metal door or a wooden door?

Belong to a wooden door. Because its door frames and doors of the internal material are wood. The stainless steel plate on the surface of the door is to make the door more durable. Do a lot of steel doors manufacturers but Guangdong has the best quality of origin. Guangdong Gangmu door factory in the "Sieg" is the leader. It is the executive chairman unit of the steel doors professional committee. And Guangdong "Sieg" involved in the implementation of the standard steel doors industry standards. Like steel doors door side of the buckle technology is Guangdong "Sieg" invention. So if you want to buy a door can refer to the next Guangdong "Sieg" interior door.

Q:I need to repaint an exterior metal door. The previous tenant put over 100 small vinyl letters on the door. Whats the easiest fastest way to remove these without leaving gouges in the paint that Id have to somehow fill in, sand, and then paint?I need to repaint the door today.

The hairdry trick definitely works, so give that a try first. Be careful with the scraper that you don't dig into the metal. If a spot is really sticking - heat it some more. Depending on how long the letters have been on, you may find there's a sticky residue from the vinyl lettering. Another product that works really well is Contractors Desolv-it --- you can probably find it locally. Try your home improvement store, paint store, maybe even the grocery store. It's non-toxic. Smells like oranges - NO FUMES. And it really gets the goo off.
