Q: Do doors have to be the exact size?

• <div><p>Yes, if you&rsquo;re replacing a door slab, it must be the exact size of your existing door. If your new door is too small, you&rsquo;ll need to purchase a new door to fit or hire a handyperson to make your frame smaller. Or if it's too big, you&rsquo;ll need to return it or shave it down to fit.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a fire door and a regular door?

• <div><p>Fire doors are constructed to have certain resistance levels regarding fire. A traditional door can typically resist fire for less than one minute, whereas fire doors can resist it for 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the fire door rating. Fire doors give you and your family a better chance of safely escaping during a fire than standard doors. </p></div>

Q: Can you put a new door in an old frame?

• <div><p>You can often fit a new door slab into an old frame as long as the frame&rsquo;s in decent shape. The frame needs to be solid, square, and free of warping or rot. The new door has to match the old one in width, height, and thickness, and the hinge and knob placements need to line up or be adjusted carefully. However, if your frame is damaged, swapping just the door won&rsquo;t cut it. In that case, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-replacing-interior-doors.htm">replacing the entire unit</a> would be the best move for a smooth, secure installation.</p></div>

Q: What is the longest-lasting exterior door?

• <div><p>Steel doors last the longest, sometimes upwards of 100 years. Fiberglass comes in second, with a lifespan of 70 years. Wood doors have the lowest lifespan, with some wood types only last 20 to 40 years.</p></div>
