Q: What’s the difference between a double door and a French door?

• <div><p>Traditional double doors are usually solid wood or mostly wood with a small amount of glass, whereas French doors are primarily glass panels with wood, aluminum, or plastic framing. Double doors are often larger than French doors, and do not allow as much light into the home when installed as exterior doors. </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>

Q: Do you need to shim both sides of a door?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need to shim both sides of a door, but it&rsquo;s always a good idea. Wall framing is rarely perfectly plumb, and shims let you make minor adjustments to get your door perfectly level and plumb. This will ensure the door swings open and closes smoothly. You can also use shims on both sides of the door you&rsquo;re installing or adjusting to center it in the wall opening.</p></div>

Q: What is the weakest part of the door?

• <div><p>The strike plate, hinges, and handle are the parts of a door most prone to damage. These parts see the most frequent use, causing them to wear and twear faster than other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-a-door.htm">parts of a door</a>. If you&rsquo;re experiencing door issues, check these three parts first to see if they need repairing or replacing. </p></div>

Q: Do patio doors increase home value?

• <div><p>Swapping out old patio doors for something new can boost your home&rsquo;s value. Fresh doors make your home look more modern and polished, add tons of natural light, and create a smoother connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Buyers love features that make a home feel open, stylish, and efficient, especially when updated doors come with better energy efficiency and security. High-end options like French doors can also bump the appeal even more, making your home stand out in a competitive market.</p></div>

Daniel did a great job installing doors and drawers in my custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets. He was careful not to scratch the finish, installed and adjusted hinges and drawer slides so that everything hung and worked properly. He installed the hardware as well. His work was excellent.
