Door Frame Replacement – Restuarants are disgusting

Delivery Doors

 

Well its been a while since I posted and I decided it was time to get back at it. a couple of weeks a =go I was contracted to remove a couple of frames and replace some door for a local restaurant. These were on the back side where customers don’t usually go. Which in my opinion is a good thing because most would immediately lose half of the regular customers.

These doors are the ones used for deliveries and hauling out the garage. My biggest concern is staying upright while trying to remove the old doors and frames and re-installing new ones. This is because the floors are tile or smooth concrete, both very slippery when covered with a thin layer or oils and food products that hit the floor during preparation of yours and my lunch, dinner or breakfast.

 

I am not saying that this restaurant was not meeting the codes for cleanliness it was just very hard to walk on at first. Once I figured out what it took to stay on my feet I started to remove the frames and this is what I found.

 

It was pretty bad and inside one leg of the old frame there were quite a few worms and other live one cell critters that I didn’t want to touch. We were able to clean it all up and install  a new frame and seal it all up with 100% silicone caulk and it should stay bug free now. So that was the fun job of the week.

August 20 2013 WSU Boimed

Today at the WSU job we ran into a lot of hollow metal doors that would not shut. After some investigation we found that the frames had been incorrectly set on quite a few openings and that the hinge prep in the doors was also incorrect. I spoke with the Curries door rep, and we decided to try a field fix first rather than have the doors sent back to a shop. We added a small amount of shimming material to the side of the hinge away from the knuckle and this placed the hinge in the correct position on the door and allowed the door to shut correctly on most of the openings.

Door Repair and Installs

August 19,2013

Well it was hot again in Spokane. Today I was finishing the operable wall track install at 1919 Lincoln Way in Coeur d’ Alene for Williamson- Johnson Construction. It was in a room that had no air flow and was about 95 degs. It was definitely a day to drink lots of water. I will post a picture of it tomorrow. We have started to hang the hollow metal doors at the WSU BioMed project for Graham Construction.

We will have some pictures of sliding barn doors from the Springhill suites posted next week.

This past week we worked on the WSU Biomed, St Luke’s Rehab Hospital.

The St. Luke’s job consists of replacing the wood doors with fire labeled doors to match the frames. We will also be replacing two double egress frames and doors.

We also hung the doors and put on the hardware on the addition to the Spokane Valley Adventist Church.

We also started the Scafco office job and hung about 25 doors there.

We should finish the WSU job this week and that will be a big job finished.

This week we will be finishing the WSU job and continuing on with the St. Luke’s project, Scafco and finishing the Spokane Valley SDA Church.
