Q: What is the difference between a door sill, a threshold, and a kick plate?

• <div><p>A door sill is the bottom portion of your door frame, while a threshold is the transition piece that separates the two types of flooring between rooms, or serves as the transition between the interior and exterior on an exterior door. The threshold sits on top of the door sill. A kick plate is a protective plate that sits against the face of a door to prevent damage to the door from feet and shoes. You&rsquo;ll usually only find kick plates on exterior doors, while every door has a door sill, and most exterior and interior doors have a threshold.</p></div>

Q: What material is best for the door between my garage and house?

• <div><p>When choosing a door for the space between your garage and house, steel is your best bet for fire safety. While wood&mdash;and sometimes glass&mdash;doors are common, they have lower fire-ratings. Fire-rated steel doors can withstand flames for up to three hours&mdash;double what wood can manage (90 minutes). Glass, while non-combustible, can crack under extreme heat. Steel may cost more, but it also offers the best protection. Steel isn&rsquo;t the most aesthetically pleasing choice, but as long as your door meets the International Residential Code (IRC) standards, it&rsquo;ll do its job in protecting your family and home.</p></div>

Q: Why does my door squeak when I open it?

• <div><p>Most of the time, a squeaky door is the result of dry hinges, where metal parts rub together without enough lubrication. Dirt, dust, or rust can also build up inside the hinge and add to the friction. Loose screws or slight misalignment can shift things just enough to create that irritating squeaking noise. Worn-out hinges or swelling wood from humidity changes can also be part of the problem on older doors. A good cleaning and proper lubrication usually take care of it, but if the squeak sticks around, it&rsquo;s worth checking for bigger issues with the hinges or alignment. </p></div>

Q: Do pocket doors cost more than standard doors?

• <div><p>Pocket and standard doors are similar in price, but pocket doors cost more to install than standard doors. Professionals usually charge around <b>$150 to $200</b> to hang a standard door. But if you're installing a pocket door on an existing wall, you'll likely pay between <b>$1,000 and $3,500</b>. </p></div>

Q: What are some alternatives to bifold doors?

• <div><p>Instead of a bifold door, you might look into installing French doors, pocket doors, or sliding doors. Each has its own pros and cons. French doors offer the dual-door advantages that bifold doors do, and pocket doors are excellent space savers&mdash;though you&rsquo;ll need to create a wall cavity to have them installed. </p><p> </p></div>
