"It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It worked out well. It was pretty quick. I really didn't speak with them; they just got the work done and left, which was fine with me. They were pretty quick about it. They weren't there all day long and they were clean. They cleaned up the mess and put the dryer back when it was done because they had moved it away from the wall. They really didn't disrupt my house. I didn't compare their price; I assumed it was a cheaper rate because it was a promotion. They were on time and on schedule. They called me right back. They were not what I expected when they came to the door; they were different. I don't know if I would use them again; I think I would shop around and see what's out there."
It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.
You should generally cut between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door. If you cut off more than that, you risk damaging the door. Planing too much from the bottom of your door can cause noticeable gaps, so it’s always better to start with as thin of a section as possible and work in thin layers until your door no longer sticks.
While applying a small amount of olive oil to a door hinge may not cause problems, regularly using olive oil or vegetable oil can cause door hinges to become sticky and gummed up over time. Additionally, residue from food-grade products can actually turn rancid.
Wood is more susceptible to damage than metal, and a wood door can benefit from upgraded locks, screws, and strike plates. Additional features like security doors, latch keys, and deadbolts are also a plus. Installing a comprehensive security system will also boost your home’s protection and make you feel safer.
Steel doors last the longest, sometimes upwards of 100 years. Fiberglass comes in second, with a lifespan of 70 years. Wood doors have the lowest lifespan, with some wood types only last 20 to 40 years.
