Exquisite Double Entry Doors in Washington DC

A double entry door transforms the facade of a home, opening the entry to a wider, more welcoming space. However, installing two swinging doors in a single frame requires masterful carpentry to prevent sagging, sticking, and security vulnerabilities. DC Local Locksmith delivers precise double entry door installations for homeowners across Washington DC.

Premium Double Door Installation

Solid Wood: Installing heavy mahogany or oak double doors that complement historic DC architecture in neighborhoods like Kalorama or Spring Valley.
Modern Fiberglass: Fitting durable, energy-efficient fiberglass double doors that replicate wood grain but require minimal maintenance.
Astragal Weathersealing: Precision installation of the T-astragal component, ensuring the gap between the two doors is sealed against drafts and moisture.
High-Security Hardware: Outfitting doors with heavy-duty mortise locks, handlesets, and top/bottom flush bolts to ensure the entryway is as secure as it is finished.

The DC Local Locksmith Standard

A poorly installed double door will quickly drag on the threshold or fail to latch properly as the seasons change in Washington DC. Our licensed technicians understand how the local climate affects building materials. We take the extra time to properly reinforce the door jambs, plumb the frame perfectly, and use heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges to support the weight of double doors. We guarantee our workmanship, leaving your home secure, draft-free, and well-finished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace a single door with a double entry door?

Yes, our team can expand your existing single doorway framing to accommodate a new, grand double entry door system.

Are double doors secure against forced entry?

Yes. We secure the inactive door with heavy-duty flush bolts and install deadbolts or multipoint locks on the active door for maximum defense.

How is a double entry door installation scoped?

Double entry door installation is scoped by frame condition, door material and grade, and hardware requirements. The existing opening width, framing condition, and the multipoint lock system all affect the total. Text a photo of the current opening and the door specs to (202) 830-0706. A manager reviews the photos and confirms the exact total before any work is scheduled. No installation is started until you have approved the scope and the total.
