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: How do you lock a door with a broomstick?

Extend the broomstick horizontally under the doorknob, ensuring it's snug. Now using long screws and a drill, anchor the broomstick to the wall outside the door frame. Remember that you won't be able to open the door afterward. Do not proceed with this hack if your home has no alternative exit.</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.
