Installing Carriage Door Hardware On Your Garage

Here’s a do-it-yourself home improvement project you can complete in under an hour, for way under a hundred dollars! Carriage door hardware attaches right onto your existing garage door for an elegant, upscale look. There are about a dozen styles and finishes to choose from, so you can choose the look that’s right for your house.

For this project you will need:
Hardware Kit
Cordless Drill
Rivet Gun (I recommend a convertible or universal gun)
Adhesive (I recommend Liquid Nails)
Tape Measure
Marker
Safety Glasses & Work Gloves
Paper Towels
Gather all your tools in one place so they are easily accessible

Step 1:

Place the hardware where you want it and mark the holes with your marker. When you mark the second door, choose a reference point(s) and measure the distance from handle to reference point and strap to reference point to ensure even placement.

Step 2:

Put on your safety glasses. Using a bit that about the size of your rivet, drill a hole in each of your marks.

Step 3:

Liberally apply Adhesive to the back of one piece of hardware and apply to garage door, lining up holes in hardware with holes in door. Hold the hardware to the door until a bond forms, about a minute.

Step 4:

Insert rivet into one of the holes. Place rivet gun opening over rivet, and using a pumping action press arms of rivet gun together two or three times to create a pressure seal. Once you feel pressure, press arms together hard. Rivet nail will pop off, leaving hardware riveted to door. Pick up and dispose of rivet nail. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all hardware is attached. Carefully wipe off any excess adhesive as each piece of hardware is applied.

Happy Home Improving!

Door handle to passenger side is broken and cracked. Can you fix it yourself?

Door handle to passenger side is broken and cracked. Can you fix it yourself? Can you buy some type of affordable, adhesive to glue it together? Or do you have to have a professional install a new door handle? If so, is it costly? Hard to believe a small, relatively cheap of piece of plastic could be be costly. Car model is a 2002 Hyundai Accent.

The handle was broken by using too much force to use it one day. It's still partially attached, but you cannot use it to open the door. I really don't understand why they don't make all door handles of an unbreakable metal instead of the plastic they use. I noticed with other models that door handles are weak and flimsy too.

This is a tricky job that appears simple but IS NOT a good project for a novice. Buy a used one from a salvage yard, it should be about 15 to 20 $. Take it to a body shop and they will be able to install it in less than an hour. Our shop rate is $44.00 per hour. Book time to R&I handle for your vehicle is 1/2 hr. Reinstalling the handle requires that the inner door panel be removed. It is easy to break the clips that hold the panel and disengage the opening rod if you do not have the proper tools or experience, and it is quite tricky in there......
