Q: What to do if the door frame is rotting?

• <div><p>If the rot is everywhere, you&rsquo;ll likely need a full door frame replacement. However, if the issue is localized, you can remove the rotten wood and focus on repairing the impacted area. Then fill the cavity with a wood filler or epoxy. For larger jobs, fill the cavity with a wood hardener. Next, sand it smooth and repaint or stain the entire area. You may have to apply the stain or paint to the entire frame to ensure the repair blends in.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a door?

• <div><p>Regularly check hinges, lubricate locks, and inspect weatherstripping for signs of wear.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to repair a sliding glass door?

• <div><p>The cost to repair a sliding glass door is <b>$225</b> on average. Your total cost could be as low as <b>$50</b> for a new door handle, or <b>$635</b> or more for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-glass-sliding-door.htm">replacing broken glass in your sliding door</a>. Not only does the type of repair impact the total cost of this project, but the location of the door does, too. For instance, the cost to repair an exterior sliding door costs more than the repairs of an interior sliding door, like a shower door. </p></div>

Q: Which side of the hinge goes on the door?

• <div><p>The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.</p><p>It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.</p></div>

Q: How often should I replace my door sweep?

• <div><p>Your door sweep should be replaced every three years or sooner if it&rsquo;s in poor condition. Signs it&rsquo;s time to replace your sweep include visible damage or an increase in cold drafts. This is also a good time to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-replace-weather-stripping-door.htm">redo the weather stripping on the door</a>, which should also be replaced every three years. </p></div>
