→ Get a quote“80 year old front door needed adjustment. Door needed effort to open due to door now rubbing against frame… Anthony came to the rescue. Fixed door alignment, replaced weather stripping, and deadbolt. Door now in working order. Have a front door problem and want to keep your vintage door then contact Gilmore Doors.”
“Very happy with the work Gilmore Doors did on my house! I had a lot of doors with different issues, some antique, some with failing components, and some that were just installed incorrectly. Anthony found the issues, suggested reasonable fixes, discussed options with me, and then did all the work in a day.”
“We found out that the size of the door was not a standard size and we were told that we have to expand the frame, which would be costly. Anthony took a look and told us he would try his best to find a custom door that fit our dimensions… I appreciate Anthony for putting in the effort to help us save money.”
San Jose covers about 180 square miles and close to a million people, which makes it the largest city in the Bay Area. The homes span 1920s bungalows and Spanish Revivals in Willow Glen and Naglee Park, mid-century Eichlers, and hillside houses in Almaden Valley and Evergreen.
Each kind of home has its own door problems. Older houses have original frames and hardware that have worn out. Eichlers need doors in sizes you can't buy off the shelf. Hillside homes shift over time and pull frames out of square. We work on all of them across the city.
Pre-war homes in Willow Glen, the Rose Garden and Naglee Park often have painted-shut hinges, loose mortise locks, and frames softened by decades of weather.
Fairglen and the other San Jose Eichler tracts were built between 1951 and 1962 with non-standard openings. Swapping in a standard door usually looks wrong and seals poorly.
Homes in Almaden Valley, Evergreen and Silver Creek shift as the ground moves. You'll notice it first when a door drags on the floor or the latch stops lining up.
Wood doors take on moisture in the rainy months and dry out in the summer heat, so they swell and shrink through the year. We plane, seal, and adjust them so they fit year-round.
