is flush with exterior material, such as in case of stucco, then you want to get retrofit frame, which comes with outside fin. That will eliminate need to trim outside. If you have brick or siding surrounding opening, then you need to get a replacement frame and trim outside yourself. You can use wood, vinyl, or other composite materials available in most major hardware store chains. You also need to measure depth of old frame. The majority of vinyl replacement doors have a frame depth of 4 3/4". Most door openings, when framed, have a depth of 5 1/2" to innermost surface of wall, whether it's drywall, plaster, or whatever else. Therefore, when you install new door, you will need to add some sort of trim product to build inside of door frame so it is flush with wall surface. We sell vinyl extrusions specifically for this purpose. It's a two piece system that allows you to bring frame flush with wall, then apply molding to wall and door frame to finish it. Pictures and descriptions of products are available by going to http://www.how-to-install-windows.com and clicking on "shop".You want to be sure and order all of materials you will need to do job at same time that you order replacement door. That way, when new door comes in 2 to 4 weeks later, you will have everything ready to do job. In addition to any trim needed, you are also going to need caulk, a roll of R-13 Insulation, liquid nails for track, 4" deck screws, shims, dust masks, and safety glasses. Once new door arrives, it will be time to take out old door. That will be our topic in next week's article. John Rocco has been installing replacement windows since 1978.

Actually that's how heat is removed from air-conditioned space. The heat from a building is transferred to refrigerant through cooling coils. This heat is then transferred to condenser. The heat is then transferred to cooling medium. The cooling medium finally transfers heat to admosphere or to sea. Of course, there are many other components in between to make system work.
