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: How do I know which door sweep to buy?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t know which door sweep to buy, look into getting a strip or bristle sweep. They&rsquo;re easy to find at the store, work well for most doors, and the simple installation is DIYable.

Q: Can you put a new door in an old frame?

• <div><p>You can often fit a new door slab into an old frame as long as the frame&rsquo;s in decent shape. The frame needs to be solid, square, and free of warping or rot. The new door has to match the old one in width, height, and thickness, and the hinge and knob placements need to line up or be adjusted carefully. However, if your frame is damaged, swapping just the door won&rsquo;t cut it. In that case, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-replacing-interior-doors.htm">replacing the entire unit</a> would be the best move for a smooth, secure installation.</p></div>

Q: Does it matter which way a door is hung?

• <div><p>Most of the time, the direction your door swings does matter. Your door&rsquo;s swing is also called its handing, and it determines how your door opens. The layout of your home probably only gives your door enough room to hang and swing in one direction. On the other hand, it might not matter if your door can open freely in either direction without inconveniencing you and your household.</p></div>
