Q: Do I need a sill for an exterior door?

• <div><p>Yes, you need to install a sill for an exterior door. A sill offers structural support for the doorframe and creates a place to install the threshold, which is essential for keeping water from seeping underneath the door and into the home. Door sills are not necessary for interior doors.</p></div>

Q: What is the size of a standard door?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standard-door-sizes.htm">Standard door sizes</a> aren&rsquo;t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors&mdash;like your front door&mdash;36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you&rsquo;ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. &ldquo;Standard&rdquo; only works if it matches what&rsquo;s already in place.</p></div>

Q: Are fire doors more expensive?

• <div><p>Fire doors are more expensive than your run-of-the-mill residential composite door because of additional materials and expanding sealants that help the door slow down or even prevent the spread of temperatures over 1,000 degrees. If you have homeowners insurance, talk to your company and see if installing fire doors can lower your premiums, especially if you can install <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-things-know-about-steel-door.htm">steel doors</a>. </p></div>

Q: What size chisel should I use for a door strike plate?

• <div><p>For most doors, you can use a 1-inch chisel to create the mortise for the strike plate. In addition, you can use a 3/4-inch chisel for more refined cuts and to clean up the edges of your mortise. The smaller tool is handy when squaring off the edges around the hole for your latch. </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>
