Q: Which is more secure: French doors or sliding glass doors?

• <div><p>Usually, french doors are more secure because they have a better locking system and a wider frame that allows for a more robust lock. Because sliding doors are just a big pane of glass with a single lock, they tend to be less secure. While you can get bars and other extra security features for your sliding door, a French door is more secure on its own.</p></div>

Q: Does closing doors in unused rooms save energy?

• <div><p>Leaving vents open but closing doors in unused rooms will probably not save money on your energy bill. Closed doors prevent the natural flow of air throughout the home, which could reduce the efficiency of the overall HVAC system. They could also restrict airflow into and through the return vents, making the HVAC system less efficient.</p></div>

Q: How can I make my wooden door more secure?

• <div><p>Wood is more susceptible to damage than metal, and a wood door can benefit from upgraded locks, screws, and strike plates. Additional features like security doors, latch keys, and deadbolts are also a plus. Installing a comprehensive security system will also boost your home&rsquo;s protection and make you feel safer.</p></div>

Q: What are the standard dimensions for an interior door?

• <div><p>The most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standard-door-sizes.htm">size for an interior door</a> is <b>80 inches tall and 28 to 32 inches wide.</b> However, a standard interior door can measure anywhere from 24 to 36 inches wide, depending on its intended use and the available space. According to most building codes in the U.S., a door must be at least 80 inches tall and 24 inches wide.</p></div>

Q: How long do patio doors last?

• <div><p>Traditional sliding glass patio doors can last as long as 20 to 30 years, with proper care and maintenance. A patio door's lifespan will depend on whether the door was installed properly, as well as how much wear and tear it gets over the years. Regular repairs will help it last longer.</p></div>
