Is a pre-hung or slab door better?

• <div><p>In most cases, a pre-hung door is a better option, not only because it’s far easier to install as a DIY project, but also because you’ll get a new frame and a new door at the same time for a more complete upgrade. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-new-front-door.htm">Replacing a door costs</a> more with pre-hung doors, but the additional investment is usually well worth the money. Pre-hung doors require fewer tools and less experience to install properly. With that being said, a slab door might be better if you’re on a tight budget or have a custom wall opening size that a pre-hung door won’t match.</p></div>

What puts burglars off the most?

• <div><p>Burglars are kept away from would-be targets for a number of reasons, but of 400 incarcerated burglars interviewed, the most cited reason they’d avoid a property is if there are people inside, followed by seeing officers nearby. Alarms, lights, and noises inside the house can also deter criminals from approaching.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a kick plate on a metal door?

• <div><p>Kick plates can absolutely be installed on metal doors. Many kick plates for metal doors are magnetic to avoid needing to drill into the metal, but many door manufacturers make kick plates that can be traditionally installed on metal doors using screws. Consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to see which is recommended for your door model.</p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of a fire door?

• <div><p>A fire door can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,350 to purchase and have installed. The cost comes from the price of the door, which can be anywhere from $400 to $900 or more, and the cost of labor, which should be contracted out considering that fire doors are a safety measure. Most contractors will take between two and four hours to install one door. </p></div>

Q: What is the size of a standard door?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standard-door-sizes.htm">Standard door sizes</a> aren&rsquo;t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors&mdash;like your front door&mdash;36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you&rsquo;ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. &ldquo;Standard&rdquo; only works if it matches what&rsquo;s already in place.</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.
