Q: What is the most common interior door hinge?

• <div><p>Butt hinges are the most common of all door hinges. They&rsquo;re frequently used in commercial and residential structures, secure interior and exterior doors, and can be used on cabinetry. They&rsquo;re inexpensive, simple to install, easy to remove, and available in various materials and styles. They come with two leaves with a knuckle or barrel in the middle. </p></div>

Q: Do longer screws make a door more secure?

• <div><p>Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn&rsquo;t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door&rsquo;s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won&rsquo;t do anything to stop them from picking the lock. </p></div>

Q: How do You lock a door with a fork?

• <div><p>This hack required some hand strength. First, bend the fork's tines. Next, slip the pointed ends into the door latch and close the door. Open the door to remove the fork and break off the fork's handle. Reinsert the fork's head into the door latch and close the door. Finally, slide the fork's handle through the tines, creating a horizontal barrier that prevents the door from opening inward.</p></div>

Q: Can you sand down a door to fit?

• <div><p>You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.</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>
