What is the disadvantage of a doggie door?

• <div><p>While doggie doors are convenient for pet owners, they do offer a few drawbacks. For instance, they’re small enough that unwanted critters could come into the house, such as raccoons, snakes, rats, and insects.</p><p>They’re also large enough that small children can escape through them, which can be a serious concern to parents of young children.</p><p>Finally, doggie doors can make it difficult to regulate your home’s temperature because they constantly let in hot or cold outside air.</p></div>

Q: Is it better for a security door to swing inside or outside?

• <div><p>Most exterior doors swing inward for better security. But a security door will swing outward. What makes it so secure are the one-way screws that go through the door, the door frame or house wall, and into the home. Make sure to align your door so it swings outward, with the door handle aligned with the existing door&rsquo;s handle.</p></div>

Q: What is a butterfly hinge?

• <div><p>A butterfly hinge&mdash;also known as a surface mount hinge or dovetail hinge&mdash;is exactly what it sounds like: a hinge that resembles a butterfly. This type of decorative hinge, which is mounted on the surface of a door or cabinet, consists of two panels. One panel is mounted on a stable surface like a door frame and the other is mounted on the surface you need to open. It hinges open and closed like the wings of a butterfly.</p></div>

Q: Can a barn door be too heavy?

• <div><p>Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home&rsquo;s framing, unless you&rsquo;re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.</p></div>

Q: What is a prehung door vs. a slab door?

• <div><p>A slab door is a standalone door that's not attached to a frame. A prehung door includes a slab door, a door frame, and the hardware necessary for installing it, like hinges. </p></div>
