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: What type of patio door is most secure?

• <div><p>Hinged French patio doors are a great choice for security. Their solid frame and ability to swing open provide a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/patio-doors-french-door-vs-sliding-door.htm">more secure structure than sliding doors</a>, which rely on tracks that can wear down over time. French doors often come with multi-point locking systems and deadbolts, securing the door at multiple points and making them harder to break into. Of course, the door&rsquo;s security also depends on factors like material quality, locking mechanisms, and proper installation&mdash;all of which ensure your door does its job of keeping your home safe.</p></div>

Q: Are fire doors more expensive?

• <div><p>Fire doors are more expensive than your run-of-the-mill residential composite door because of additional materials and expanding sealants that help the door slow down or even prevent the spread of temperatures over 1,000 degrees. If you have homeowners insurance, talk to your company and see if installing fire doors can lower your premiums, especially if you can install <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel doors</a>. </p></div>

Q: How can I move my couch through a narrow doorway?

• <div><p>To move your couch through a narrow doorway, remove the interior door to create more space. Measure your couch and the doorway beforehand to ensure it will fit. Then, tap out the hinge pins with a nail and shift the door sideways to remove it from its hinges.</p></div>

Q: Where do you put shims on a door frame?

• <div><p>You put shims between the three-sided frame to which the door hinges are attached and the framing of the rough wall opening. Using shims like this will center your door in the wall opening and allows you to make small adjustments to get your door plumb and level for smooth operation. Your shims and the gap they fill will be covered when you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-trim-doorway.htm">install door trim</a>, so don&rsquo;t worry too much about the appearance.</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.

"You should probably add 4-6 weeks to the expected delivery date if you expect to need the "enclosed" hardware. I received the blinds in the estimated time, but it came without the required hardware. I have made 4 calls (at least) over several weeks, but the hardware is nowhere in site. It is clear that SelectBlinds.com is a marketing company only has outsourced all production and fulfillment to third parties and evidently has a difficult time coordinating these type of customer service issue. Extremely frustrating that my blinds have been sitting in the floor for over a month and all I need is a few screws. Happy to go to Home Depot to get the screws, but SelectBlinds can't even tell me what sizes I need."
