Q: What is the difference between a door sill and a door jamb?

• <div><p>A door sill is the horizontal part of the door frame at the bottom, while a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-door-jamb.htm">door jamb</a> consists of the vertical parts of the frame on either side. The door sill serves as a threshold, sealing the bottom of the door, while the door jamb provides structural support and houses the hinges and latch. Both are essential components of a door frame, with the door sill acting as a transition point and the door jamb providing stability and functionality.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a door?

• <div><p>Regularly check hinges, lubricate locks, and inspect weatherstripping for signs of wear.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a sliding door and a pocket door?

• <div><p>Sliding doors and pocket doors are both great space savers, but they work a bit differently. A sliding door moves along a track and is always visible, sliding next to a wall or another door. On the other hand, a pocket door slides into a slot in the wall, hiding away completely when it's open. This makes pocket doors a perfect choice if you're looking to maximize every inch of floor space, unlike sliding doors that can still take up some room even when they're open.</p></div>

Q: How much gap should I leave between the door and frame?

• <div><p>You want plenty of room between your pre-hung door and the framing in your wall to allow for shimming to get the door into the perfect position, so aim for about 1 inch on the top and both sides. That means you should make your rough opening about 1 inch taller and 2 inches wider than your pre-hung door. You&rsquo;ll then use shims to stabilize and level the door before installing it. </p></div>

Q: Does it matter which way a door is hung?

• <div><p>Most of the time, the direction your door swings does matter. Your door&rsquo;s swing is also called its handing, and it determines how your door opens. The layout of your home probably only gives your door enough room to hang and swing in one direction. On the other hand, it might not matter if your door can open freely in either direction without inconveniencing you and your household.</p></div>

Professional, timely and best installers we’ve had. Our installers took to time to get everything fit right. They had their hands full with a few doors and windows, due to bad framing from our construction contractor. Our new doors and windows work flawlessly now.
