Get matched with top door pros in Howe, OK

Q: Can a barn door be too heavy?

• <div><p>Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home&rsquo;s framing, unless you&rsquo;re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.</p></div>

Q: Do all door knobs fit any door?

• <div><p>Most modern door knobs will all fit in standard, modern doors, so if you know your door was made in the last 50 years or so, you should be fine buying a standard replacement door knob. The only exception would be a thumb latch handleset for an exterior door, as this <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-interior-door-knobs.htm">type of door knob</a> may not fit your door without drilling a mounting hole for the bottom of the handle. Antique or custom doors might also have different sizes and knob mounting holes, so call in a professional if you don&rsquo;t believe your door is a standard one.</p></div>

Q: Is it better for French doors to swing in or out?

• <div><p>French doors that open to exterior spaces are often installed to swing inward, as this makes them more secure than outward-swinging doors, due to the interior hinges being inaccessible from the outside. For interior doors, it&rsquo;s personal preference which direction to hang your doors, but it&rsquo;s common to have them open into the larger of the two spaces they&rsquo;re separating. </p></div>

Q: How long should French doors last?

• <div><p>An interior French door should last you anywhere between 30 and 50 years, while an exterior French door unit will last around 15 to 30 years on average. Exactly how long your French doors last depends on the quality of the materials you choose, with vinyl doors lasting far less time than fiberglass, metal, and clad-wood doors. Upgrading to shatterproof glass can also improve the lifespan of exterior French doors.</p></div>

Q: Do doggie doors let hot air in?

• <div><p>Yes, doggie doors, like all entrances, can let both hot and cold air into your home. However, as with any door in your house, you can take steps to weather-strip your pet's entrance to prevent air leaks. </p></div>

"We all learned that for an older home (25-30 years), it is best to purchase pre-hung doors, even though the labor to install them may cost you more. Having to cut the doors to fit was a job; the doors don't fit as well as they could have. James appeared to be very frustrated, working an extra day to finish the job. Extremely friendly and courteous."
