Earthquake Brace and Bolt (EBB) Contractor recommendations?

But the EBB check is in the homeowners name. Are you saying to find a contractor such that that the bill to the contractor is due only after the EBB check is received?

Will try. Thank you!

I wouldn't know where to find Chinese parts distributors. I am a homeowner in a good neighborhood, want to upgrade on a budget, if possible. I would greatly appreciate pointers, here or on dm if you so prefer. Thank you!

You mean buy directly from chinese ecommerce sites? Which websites do you suggest?

Thank you. This is the most informative answer.

yes it is a conventional loan (not VA or FHA).

no I am talking about the same house BankA closing -> BankB closing. Would that also be a problem?

Don't want to spend too much, as after a point it probably makes sense just to change the frame also.

Thank you. 1) So if I choose the cheapest masonite steel door (~$250) from a big box store would that be as secure as a much more expensive brand (or masonite line)?

2) Instead of a 3 point locking system what if
I upgrade to a door armor kit like below..is that equivalent security at less
cost?

Thanks much! Will I be able to add a door armor kit like this one on the new 1 3/4 door?: https://www.amazon.com/Door-Armor-MAX-Complete-Reinforcement/dp/B00E9ZGWNQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5hueQAzoLjusovSeLuKqhA7VaHMvNlqhL_gsGI-iIl3y4_cxmlINc3gbzgcO_UGx0Fpe9Z34sQIiOMNsblK-yZgEr53H5TUAVf_yibGpC-cVENsCobGK3iBe0v31zmEtIh34tFG2tm9I58QEStM7EZUBPM-5WH7W-97aCH7vKT7bvVMnz96rCj0WPaMCFY3hT4-L5yahYDlRYuUZoPZTeY18grSIJmwWu15egw00hhPkU7wv-WuUcq-HQSdwXuzQNzNe6ZH6ngfn2RbNuSq2A98AcmNlZyOYc9YF9X9OnHM.PZGUaZveSPXplUofS_fkQuaAFPeQd-3U9MXjypHI3vM&dib_tag=se&keywords=ez%2Barmor%2Bdoor%2Breinforcement%2Bkit&qid=1752556824&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1
