Q: What’s the difference between a doorway floor transition and a door jamb?

• <div><p>Many doorways feature two door jambs. These are installed on both sides of a doorway to prevent the door from swinging too far. Door jambs usually stop the door at 180 degrees when closed. A doorway floor transition sits between the door jambs on the floor, helping to create a safer and more aesthetically pleasing transition from one flooring type to the next. </p></div>

Q: How wide should a door jamb be?

• <div><p>The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides&mdash;about 1/2 inch each&mdash;which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that&rsquo;s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.</p></div>

Q: Can a burglar get through a deadbolt?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible a burglar can get through a deadbolt. Some types of deadbolts are harder for an intruder to get through, though. For example, a single-cylinder lock only requires breaking a window nearby and simply turning it. While other locks, such as a double-cylinder lock, may offer greater protection and make it harder for an intruder, no deadbolt is 100 percent effective.</p></div>

Q: Does changing door knobs increase my property value?

• <div><p>New door knobs likely won&rsquo;t have much of an effect on property value, but they can improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal and interior decor, which might lead some buyers to offer more for your home. However, in terms of personal value, adding new door knobs can be a game changer. New door knobs not only function better than older ones in most cases, but they make your home secure, and there&rsquo;s a lot to be said about the peace of mind a new exterior door knob can provide.</p></div>

Q: How are door thresholds attached?

• <div><p>Interior door thresholds are usually attached using finish nails, and some contractors will also use construction adhesive under the threshold to hold it in place. Exterior door thresholds are more commonly screwed to prevent them from pulling up when people step on the raised edge on the outside of the door. Exterior doors also include caulk sealant on the inside to prevent water and air from seeping through.</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.
