Q: Do slab doors come with hinge cutouts?

• <div><p>Most slab doors do not have hinge cutouts, making them a complete blank slate. You will have to measure and cut the mortises yourself. You can order a slab door from a home improvement store and ask them to make the cuts, although you still have to take the measurements independently.</p></div>

Q: Is brickmould just for doors?

• <div><p>Brickmould isn&rsquo;t just for doors. It&rsquo;s used around windows similarly to how it's used around doors. The purpose is to create protection and ward off moisture and insects that could otherwise invade the gap between the frame and the home&rsquo;s exterior. As with doors, brickmould creates a finished look on the windows and acts as a decorative element.</p></div>

Q: How can I move my couch through a narrow doorway?

• <div><p>To move a couch through a narrow doorway, first measure the couch and the doorway to ensure it will fit. For a close fit, you can create more space by removing the interior door; tap out the hinge pins with a nail and shift the door sideways to remove it from its hinges. You may need to turn the couch on its side or move it in separate pieces, if possible. Using furniture sliders can also help you slide the couch through the doorway.</p></div>

Q: Which side of the hinge goes on the door?

• <div><p>The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.</p><p>It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a door frame and casing?

• <div><p>A door frame is not the same as a door casing. A door frame is the framework surrounding the entire door that supports the area from which the door hangs. The frame is made up of multiple parts, including the door jamb, head, and sill.</p><p>Casing refers to the trim work located around the door frame. It connects the door frame to the wall with decorative trim.</p></div>
