We are going into our 10th year in our home that we had custom built. Our builder had used Nix to supply a beautiful 6 panel Mahogany front door. I am not a current customer and only a prior customer by default (through my builder). Yesterday, June 3, 2020, I had reached out to Nix Door and asked if I could borrow a front door while I resurface the finish on my existing door. Without hesitation Greg had asked for a few measurements, hinge locations, bore for the latch and the size of the door. He let me borrow the door for as long as I needed it for.
So after about 10 years and using a marine spar varnish on my Mahogany door and completing yearly door maintenance. The door has very minor cracking at the seems and a few on the raised panels. Those cracks are about 1/32". If I hadn't used a substandard top coat two years ago I wouldn't have had to remove the finish at all. The door faces the South West (almost the worst direction for any door). My Mahogany door still looks amazing after 10 years from Nix with the exception of the minor damage from the sun. After this finish I expect to get another 7 - 10 years out of it. If not Nix Door is where I'll find our new door.
Talk about customer service. Something that has seemed to have disappeared from many companies. But not at Nix Door and Hardware. Greg quickly called me back even though I was not a customer and I wanted to borrow a door from them. As a potential future customer, this speaks volumes as to what the staff are like at Nix Door and Hardware.
Oh and I was expecting a hollow core door. What I got was an actual exterior (really nice) door. My wife was more at ease knowing that the temporary door has the same security as our actual door.
If you are in the market for doors, windows, sky lights, fire places and door hardware and I thought I saw cabinet hardware there too, you really need to check them out. The quality looked from upper mid range to high quality, depending on your budget.
Thanks again Greg and Nix Door.
Here is an update on the refinished door. As you can see, the door is still in immaculate condition after almost 10 years. Keep in mind that I performed regular maitenance on the original finish. But being that the door faces the Southwest the sun will be brutal on any door. Most doors may only make it 5 years.
This is a great testament to the quality of material and cratmenship that goes into the products one can find at Nix Door.
The photos are of my reserfaced , almost 10 year old door, that I finished on June 15, 2020.
Thanks again Greg and Nix Door.
