Precise Door Installation in Nashville
A new door only works as well as its installation. We hang doors plumb, level and square, flash and seal the threshold and set the lock so it throws smoothly every time.

Door Installation, Done Right
Good installation starts with the opening: checking the framing, the sill and the wall for damage, then setting a pre-hung door in a bed of sealant with shims at the hinges and strike. We adjust the reveals so the door closes with even gaps.
Weatherstripping, the threshold and the lockset are set carefully, and we finish with trim and caulk so the door looks and feels solid from day one.
Music City Door & Window Services brings door installation to homes in Nashville and across 20 Middle Tennessee cities.

How long does it take to install a door?
A standard pre-hung entry door is often a half-day to a day, depending on the opening, trim and any repairs. Custom doors and sidelites can take longer.
Can you install a door I already bought?
Ask us. We can look at the door and the opening and tell you what to expect.
Why does my door stick after installation?
Sticking is usually a sign of an out-of-square opening or shims in the wrong places. A careful installation avoids it.
