Q: Do exterior doors need to be prehung?

• <div><p>No, exterior doors don&rsquo;t need to be prehung, although <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-picking-new-front-door.htm">choosing a door</a> that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn&rsquo;t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it&rsquo;s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they&rsquo;re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.</p></div>

Q: What's the best exterior door for direct sunlight?

• <div><p>If you want to let in plenty of sunlight while keeping your home well insulated, your best bet is a patio-style door with two doors with full-view windows, including one primary door and one secondary door behind it, such as a screen door or storm door. This two-door system will let in plenty of natural light while maximizing insulation.</p></div>

Q: How long do doors last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of your door depends on the door type, its wear and tear, and the weather conditions in your area. For instance, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-will-your-front-door-last.htm">front doors last</a> between<b> 20 and 60 years</b>, depending on the material. Garage doors, on the other hand, last between <b>15 and 30 years</b>. Interior doors don&rsquo;t get hit with the elements and can last between <b>20 and 50 years,</b> if not more. </p></div>

Q: Are all cellar bulkhead doors the same size?

• <div><p>No, cellar doors are not all the same size, although they are standardized. Typical sizes are 4 feet or 6 feet wide. Keep in mind that if your cellar bulkhead is very old, it&rsquo;s probably not standardized. Instances like that are when steel foundation plates can come in handy to ensure your new doors will fit.</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>
