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>

Q: Why would you want an outswing door?

• <div><p>Outswing doors are more popular for exterior doors as they offer more room for moving items in and out of a home. And because the hinges are on the outside of the door, they&rsquo;re more secure against potential break-ins. But, outswing doors are more susceptible to the elements and are more expensive. Comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/inswing-vs-outswing-door.htm">inswing vs. outswing doors</a> depends on your budget, needs, and overall preference.</p></div>

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: What if my sofa doesn't fit through the door?

• <div><p>If a sofa doesn&rsquo;t fit through the door, try angling it to maneuver it through. You&rsquo;d be surprised at how often this works. Next, remove the legs and cushions and try again. If that doesn&rsquo;t work, consider an alternate entry point like a window or a back door. When all else fails, contact a pro. </p></div>

Q: What are the problems with fire doors?

• <div><p>There aren&rsquo;t many problems with fire doors except that they slow down or cut off ventilation at the higher rating levels. For this reason, work with a professional to ensure you have adequate ventilation throughout your house or workspace. The sealing around a fire door is meant to allow for a specific amount of ventilation and will need regular inspections to ensure adequate airflow. </p></div>
