(8,284 posts)In one house I renovated for a customer (it was an extreme makeover, built trusses in the attic for a cathedral ceiling, took out existing ceiling & interior walls to make 4 rooms into 1 large room, added skylights, lifted the roof off the back wall so I could take out the whole wall & rebuild it with shear walls on the ends, a huge 18' gluelam header, & a row of French doors, etc etc etc) I moved the front door to a new location & had just installed the new front door when the guys delivering the refrigerator brought it in on a hand truck with solid hard rubber wheels & dented/scratched the new threshold. It's the reason I only use a hand truck with large pneumatic tires, I won't damage customers' thresholds when I use it to move things in/out of their houses. The great thing about the ShoulderDolly straps is that they don't roll anything over your threshold, they just have to be careful to not hit your door or door jamb. I keep a couple moving blankets in my truck so if I'm moving something large (like a washer or dryer) by myself with the dolly I can throw a padded blanket over it just in case I bump something.
