Reeb® is one of the largest distributors of custom Millwork products on the east coast. We’re a family owned business that has worked harder for our customers by stocking more products, offering shorter lead times, providing more options and better support. Over the past 100 years, we have grown to 5 east coast warehouses, one specialty high-speed pre-finishing plant, and a large fleet of delivery vehicles.
Protecta film is quite possibly the worst invention in history. It’s quicker and easier to tape the window yourself. 1/10 product and that’s being generous
You got it backwards, buddy . people don’t stand with their backs to the door when they open them. The right hand swing door has the Viewable hinges on the right side. Case closed.
I like the REEB paint quality and respect it. however, i dont like that im buying a 10k door with thermatru and its being put together with their parts by a 3rd party door assembly company. you would think that thermatru would be the ones putting this door together since its that much, but thats not the case.
It would be very cost-prohibitive for a manufacturer to assemble a door and ship around the country from a central location. The distributors are constantly audited and reviewed for adherence to strict manufacturer standards.
I had a PanoLock multi-point system installed with a Wi-Fi keypad. When the door is locked the center is not actually locked and if you depress the lever from inside or outside the center latch is depressed. So in reality it is only a 2 point locking system. My installer told me this is how it is supposed to work but I challenge that as it does not make sense to have 3 locking points if only 2 of them actually lock. I am curious if what I was told is accurate
I'd like to clarify how it differs from the original PanoLock. The PanoLock Plus has been redesigned to incorporate an electronic deadbolt that operates the top and bottom latches. This change was necessary to ensure the electronic mechanism works effectively, especially in retracting the latches without timing out. As a result, the center latch functions differently compared to the original version. It doesn't engage automatically with the electronic system. However, you can still secure the center point using a keyed knob or lever set, which will prevent the latch from being retracted.
I did exactly this. And got the wrong door. Now this was a mobile home company, but I looked it up and they were right, at least on another website. They told me whichever side the hinge is on (from the outside of house) is the hand it is. If it hinges on the left and swings IN, it’s a left hand. If it hinges in the left and swings OUT, it’s a left hand reverse. And same for the right. I don’t get how this can be so confused. Costing me a days drive to replace.
I enjoyed watching your explanation about various door sill types but I do not understand one thing. The word composite is referred to many times but I did not hear the definition of the word composite. What is composite? does that mean plastic, fiberglass, a artificial wood? The only thought that I have is it refers to some sort of plastic. Sorry, I'm am not an industry person. Thank you for the explanation otherwise.
In the context of door sills, "composite" refers to a material made by combining various elements, including fiberglass, wood fibers, and resins. It's not plastic; it's a blend of materials chosen for their durability and other beneficial properties.
Looks easy. However, I have a sliding glass door facing west that have had the film on for maybe 15 years. I have used a hair dryer to help remove the film and some Windex with ammonia, but it has been a challenge!
Thank-you for your superb video addressing this murky point. Your metric of standing with your back to the hinges in order to determine handing seems like a stroke of genius compared with other approaches. There seems to be so much confusion and obfuscation online regarding the difference between left handed and right handed locks. I have just ordered a replacement lock to replace a worn out lock on a door which swings outwards and has its hinges on the right hand side as observed from outside the door. I have ordered a Left handed mortise lock to replace this lock, if you could confirm that I have ordered the right lock that would be GREATLY appreciated. 👍
are doors typically delivered like that to a job site? when I contacted the manufacturer they told me the painters put that on...they did not, they came that way, they are denying that they were delivered with the black tape. I am finally trying to take the tape off, it is very difficult, as they were installed about 6 months ago. Thank you for the tips, although mine is not coming off as easy as your video. thank you
