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>

Q: How do I maintain door hardware?

• <div><p>Regularly lubricate moving parts, check for loose screws, and clean tracks to prevent debris buildup.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a new door in an old frame?

• <div><p>You can often fit a new door slab into an old frame as long as the frame&rsquo;s in decent shape. The frame needs to be solid, square, and free of warping or rot. The new door has to match the old one in width, height, and thickness, and the hinge and knob placements need to line up or be adjusted carefully. However, if your frame is damaged, swapping just the door won&rsquo;t cut it. In that case, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-replacing-interior-doors.htm">replacing the entire unit</a> would be the best move for a smooth, secure installation.</p></div>

Q: Should residential exterior doors swing in or out?

• <div><p>Residential exterior doors should swing inward. While this cuts into your living space and prevents you from putting furniture near the inside of your door, it also means that the hinges will only be accessible from the interior. Hinges that sit on the outside of your home leave your property far less secure, as someone looking to get in could simply unscrew them and remove your door. Additionally, inswing exterior doors will be operable even if you have snow or other obstructions outside.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.</p><p>There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.</p></div>
