Q: Can I add a door to my basement?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a door to your basement&mdash;it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you&rsquo;re using the basement as a bedroom. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">basement contractor</a> can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.</p><p>There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.</p></div>

Q: How much gap should you leave around a door?

• <div><p>Spacing a door is tricky since you need to leave enough of a gap for the door to move freely and not get stuck when the slab and frame contract and expand in dry and humid conditions. The ideal gap between a doorframe and slab is 1/8 of an inch. If the gap is any larger, the door will feel drafty. But if the gap is any smaller, the slab can get stuck due to weather changes. </p></div>

Q: How do you determine if a door is left or right hand swing?

• <div><p>Look at the door from the outside, or the key side. If the hinges are on the left side of the door, it&rsquo;s a left-hand swing. If the hinges are on the right side of the door, it&rsquo;s a right-hand swing. You can also think of it as which hand you would most likely use to open the door from the outside when considering whether it&rsquo;s a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/right-hand-vs-left-hand-door.htm">right-hand vs. left-hand door</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do services include security doors?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer reinforced steel, fire-rated, and electronic access doors for businesses.</p></div>

"Nathan and James were the absolute perfect people to work with. I wanted about an acre clear with trees to knock down, stumps filled in, roots managed, and logs cleared out. They kept all our appointments to talk about the project and gave me a firm date on when they would start and finish. They stuck to it and worked hard, totally exceeding my expectations. They were fair and reasonable with prices, if you need excavation or anything of the sort done you need to call these guys, I'm definitely going to get them to help me out for my next projects."
