Q: How do you determine if a door is left or right hand swing?

• <div><p>Look at the door from the outside, or the key side. If the hinges are on the left side of the door, it&rsquo;s a left-hand swing. If the hinges are on the right side of the door, it&rsquo;s a right-hand swing. You can also think of it as which hand you would most likely use to open the door from the outside when considering whether it&rsquo;s a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/right-hand-vs-left-hand-door.htm">right-hand vs. left-hand door</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can you sand and restain hollow core doors?

• <div><p>As long as you do it carefully, you can sand and restain hollow core doors. However, it&rsquo;s risky because the veneers on hollow core doors are so thin that sanding and restaining might cause damage to the doors. If you do move forward with this project, sand the doors lightly with a medium-grit sandpaper.</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>

Technicians examined my garage door and diagnosed the problems with it. They completed repairs the same evening and I had a brand new motor assembly which is quiet and working perfectly since. They do nice work.

"Very good job ! No loose ends, the workers really did a wonderful finish job. We had a screened in porch converted to a 4 season room by adding these windows. My husband is a real stickler for detail and, he was out there "inspecting" every move they made.... after awhile he came inside and said: "These guys really know what they're doing""

"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."

Doors questions, answered by experts

Yes, pros adjust frames and guide rails to fit unique dimensions.

A slab door is a standalone door without a frame or hardware. A prehung door is a complete set that includes the door, frame, hinges, and sometimes the doorknob and lockset.

In most cases, a prehung door is the better and easier option to install, especially for DIY projects or exterior applications, as they often come pre-weatherproofed. They require fewer tools and less experience to install properly. Although prehung doors are heavier and have a higher upfront cost, the investment is often worthwhile for a complete upgrade that includes a new frame.

A slab door may be a better choice if you are on a tight budget, have a custom-sized wall opening, or only need to replace the door while keeping the existing frame. While the initial cost is lower, you will need to purchase all the hardware separately and do more DIY work to hang it, which may not result in significant time or money savings.

Look at the door from the outside, or the key side. If the hinges are on the left side of the door, it’s a left-hand swing. If the hinges are on the right side of the door, it’s a right-hand swing. You can also think of it as which hand you would most likely use to open the door from the outside when considering whether it’s a right-hand vs. left-hand door.

As long as you do it carefully, you can sand and restain hollow core doors.
