Great Windows & Doors: A Step-by-Step Guide

By Rick Peters

Begin by exploring the myriad types of doors and windows available, and then examine detailed information on the tools and material needed. Learn how to frame opening, install jambs, add trim and weather-stripping, remove windows, install locks and latches, and more. You'll find step-by-step instructions for some of the most common door projects, such as installing a new interior or exterior door, adding a new storm door, and, for the more ambitious, adding a sliding patio door where there was no door previously. Common window and door maintenance and repair are also covered. Whether you want to tackle a door or window project yourself, or want to be able to talk knowledgeably with your contractor, this handy reference features everything you need to know.

Great for beginners

I was so pleased with the detailed instructions in this book, I bought a few more of Mr Peter's books. Everything is very clear, from installing glass, locks, windows, and doors.
