Q: Do doors stick more in summer or winter?

• <div><p>Doors get more sticky in the summer. Contrary to popular belief, doors can also stick in the winter since humidity causes doors to stick during both seasons. However, thermal expansion and humidity in the summer mean that the thermal heat and moisture in the air both play a role in causing a door to stick.</p></div>

Q: How thick should a door be?

• <div><p>Most modern, standard doors are 1 ⅜-inches thick, so you should aim for this thickness unless you're building a door to replace an antique door or fit into a non-standard wall opening. Thickness varies when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-pocket-door.htm">installing a pocket door</a> or sliding barn door, so a good rule of thumb is to measure your existing door, if possible. For standard doors, you can also measure from the inside of the door to the door stop to gauge the proper thickness.</p></div>

Q: Do doors have to be the exact size?

• <div><p>Yes, if you&rsquo;re replacing a door slab, it must be the exact size of your existing door. If your new door is too small, you&rsquo;ll need to purchase a new door to fit or hire a handyperson to make your frame smaller. Or if it's too big, you&rsquo;ll need to return it or shave it down to fit.</p></div>

Q: What if I can’t find the correct size door at the store?

• <div><p>If you took measurements of the door and can&rsquo;t find the correct size in the store, you may need a custom-size screen door. Many door manufacturers produce doors fit-to-size using individualized dimensions. Another option, if the door opening is smaller than standard, is to have the door frame opening cut larger to accommodate a standard-sized door.</p></div>

Q: Can you get doors cut to size?

• <div><p>Many doors can be cut to size, but it depends on the door material. Solid wood doors are relatively easy to trim to a specific size, while hollow core and metal doors are trickier and can usually only be shaved down a little before you risk damaging them. If your door needs a lot of adjustment, it's best to order a custom size or have a pro do the resizing to make sure it holds up over time.</p></div>
