Miscellaneous Repairs & Modifications

Happy Valley. Just east of I-205 and just north of Johnson Creek Blvd., on the lower flanks of Mount Scott.

An alarm technician’s worst nightmare.
Unknowingly attempting to drill a hole through a fiberglass jamb with a spade-drill bit. Oops!

The solution? Order a replacement round-top Fiberglass door-jamb from the door manufacturer and hire the preeminent door-mechanics in town to replace the damaged one with the new one.

Not surprisingly, the new prefinished jamb from Jeld-Wen came with a new prefinished radius trim package in the crate with the jamb. If you click on the collage, and enlarge it, you’ll likely be able to make out the details better.

The door is temporarily removed by technicians Steve Hilt and Brandon Todd.

After which the jamb itself is removed…

…and laid on top of the replacement jamb for comparison and fine tuning.

Brandon is shown going about the task of reinstalling the replacement jamb, even while Steve is already re-hanging the door.

As good as new. Maybe better.

Another long day for the unsung heroes of our covert team of door operatives. Finishing just as the day gives way to darkness one more time over Southeast Portland.
