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: How wide should a door jamb be?

• <div><p>The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides&mdash;about 1/2 inch each&mdash;which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that&rsquo;s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.</p></div>

Q: Is it hard to install a dog door?

• <div><p>Installing a dog door is generally a straightforward process that handy DIYers may feel comfortable attempting on their own. Because the process usually involves cutting a hole in your existing door or wall, some homeowners may prefer to hire a handyperson who has experience with this type of installation to ensure the job is done right.</p></div>

Q: How do you install a door jammer?

• <div><p>Door jammers are designed for easy installation and portability. You can use them at home or while traveling if you&rsquo;re looking for added security. Slide the foot under the door, then turn the bolt to tighten until it is fitted to the door. Look for options with a padded, adjustable foot to fit tricky door edges and avoid damage.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a door sill, a threshold, and a kick plate?

• <div><p>A door sill is the bottom portion of your door frame, while a threshold is the transition piece that separates the two types of flooring between rooms, or serves as the transition between the interior and exterior on an exterior door. The threshold sits on top of the door sill. A kick plate is a protective plate that sits against the face of a door to prevent damage to the door from feet and shoes. You&rsquo;ll usually only find kick plates on exterior doors, while every door has a door sill, and most exterior and interior doors have a threshold.</p></div>

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
