Q: What is the difference between a mortise latch and a tubular latch?

• <div><p>The difference between a mortise latch and a tubular latch is how they're mounted. A mortise latch has a single integrated lock body. One long rectangular space is cut into the door to contain it. A single keyhole is used to unlock both the dead bolt and latch from the outside. A tubular latch is a standard setup with a dead bolt separate from the regular spring bolt latch.</p></div>

Q: Can you clean door hinges with vinegar?

• <div><p>Yes, you can clean door hinges with vinegar. The cleaner your door hinges are, the less likely they are to cause that annoying squeaking sound. Simply fill a container with equal parts water and vinegar, dip a microfiber cloth in the mixture, and use it to clean the hinges. You can do this while the hinges are connected or remove them, and wash them piece by piece.</p></div>

Q: Can improper installation cause a door to warp?

• <div><p>Like many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-door-problems.htm">common door problems</a>, warping can be caused by improper installation. When a door isn't installed correctly, there's a good chance that the poor seal is allowing moisture and drafts to seep through. When this happens, humidity will build up in the wood until it swells and warps.</p></div>

Q: Do exterior doors need to be prehung?

• <div><p>No, exterior doors don&rsquo;t need to be prehung, although <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-picking-new-front-door.htm">choosing a door</a> that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn&rsquo;t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it&rsquo;s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they&rsquo;re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.</p><p>There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.</p></div>
