Q: Can I convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door?

• <div><p>You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it&rsquo;s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you&rsquo;ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It&rsquo;s doable, but expect some trial and error because it&rsquo;s not a straight-swap situation.</p></div>

Q: How can I reinforce my apartment door?

• <div><p>Before attempting to reinforce an apartment door, speak to the property owner. If the door hasn&rsquo;t been updated in a while, the landlord may offer to cover the cost of a professional locksmith or your expense of this security update. Rekeying a door can be a costly and lengthy affair, so try low-impact, inexpensive tricks&mdash;like installing a deadlock or a door jammer&mdash;first.</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: What is the best material for patio doors?

• <div><p>The best <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-patio-door-material-best-my-home.htm">patio door material</a> comes down to what matters most. Wood doors win for custom looks and natural warmth, but need regular maintenance. Steel options offer better security and low maintenance; however, the design choices are slim. Vinyl is an easy pick&mdash;affordable, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient&mdash;even if it&rsquo;s not the most high-end looking. Ultimately, the right material for your patio door depends on whether you&rsquo;re chasing style, security, simplicity, or a little bit of everything.</p></div>

Q: How thick should a door be?

• <div><p>Most modern, standard doors are 1 ⅜-inches thick, so you should aim for this thickness unless you're building a door to replace an antique door or fit into a non-standard wall opening. Thickness varies when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-pocket-door.htm">installing a pocket door</a> or sliding barn door, so a good rule of thumb is to measure your existing door, if possible. For standard doors, you can also measure from the inside of the door to the door stop to gauge the proper thickness.</p></div>

Evan Clark is an amazing carpenter. He came out and gave a good estimate, and was here by 8:30 am everyday. He finished a 14x14 bedroom and a walk-in closet: drywall, painting, flooring, installed 2 doors. He followed my directions, and didn't try to talk my husband into changing my mind. He...

We told the contractor that this swing set was a big job. He was a hard worker but needed 2 people to get the job done. We ended up finishing the swingset set up after he worked on it 2 day. He is a hard worker but the job was bigger than he thought. I would use him for a small job.
