That old basement door was leaking cold air, driving up energy bills, and offering almost no security
So it was time for a serious upgrade.
In this short video, I show the key steps of replacing a basement door set into a concrete wall, from removing the old door and frame to installing, leveling, and sealing a new pre-hung unit.
