Steel Doors Repair
Hinges - these are the simple bearing devices that allow a door to swing
laterally. There are at least two of these on every door, and must be kept in
alignment and well oiled.
Jambs - these are the sides of the door frame where hinges are attached and
holds the slot for the locking door bolt.
Doorstop - this is the piece that runs parallel with the jambs and sticks out to
stop the door, keeping it from swinging right through the doorway. Of course,
swinging doors do not have these.
Lintel - this is the beam that runs across the top of the door frame, supporting
the wall above.
Threshold - similar to a windowsill, this lines the ground below the exterior of
the door to smooth the transition between ground and door frame.
