Q: What are the disadvantages of a steel door?

• <div><p>Steel doors have a few primary disadvantages. They&rsquo;re hard to customize since they can&rsquo;t be cut to fit an opening; they&rsquo;re cumbersome and thus difficult to install on your own; and they don&rsquo;t have the same aesthetic appeal as wood doors. Finally, while they&rsquo;re highly durable and secure, they are susceptible to dents, scratches, and rusting.</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: What is the best material for patio doors?

• <div><p>The best <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-patio-door-material-best-my-home.htm">patio door material</a> comes down to what matters most. Wood doors win for custom looks and natural warmth, but need regular maintenance. Steel options offer better security and low maintenance; however, the design choices are slim. Vinyl is an easy pick&mdash;affordable, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient&mdash;even if it&rsquo;s not the most high-end looking. Ultimately, the right material for your patio door depends on whether you&rsquo;re chasing style, security, simplicity, or a little bit of everything.</p></div>

Q: Which way should a garden gate open?

• <div><p>Which way your garden gate opens mainly comes down to preference. While other types of gates, like one leading from the sidewalk to your property, should swing inward rather than outward to avoid opening into a public space, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about such an issue in a backyard garden. However, a garden gate that swings inward may still be useful when carrying heavy loads into the space, like a wheelbarrow filled with mulch or heavy wood boards for building new garden beds. </p></div>

Q: Are fire doors more expensive?

• <div><p>Fire doors are more expensive than your run-of-the-mill residential composite door because of additional materials and expanding sealants that help the door slow down or even prevent the spread of temperatures over 1,000 degrees. If you have homeowners insurance, talk to your company and see if installing fire doors can lower your premiums, especially if you can install <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel doors</a>. </p></div>

It was okay. Whoever did the work got a lot of soot inside of the house and there was some hand prints left on our wall and a door. In terms of pricing, we had it done once before by a different company and I think it was about the same.
