Q: What is the weakest part of the door?

• <div><p>The strike plate, hinges, and handle are the parts of a door most prone to damage. These parts see the most frequent use, causing them to wear and twear faster than other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-a-door.htm">parts of a door</a>. If you&rsquo;re experiencing door issues, check these three parts first to see if they need repairing or replacing. </p></div>

Q: What is the size of a standard door?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/standard-door-sizes.htm">Standard door sizes</a> aren&rsquo;t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors&mdash;like your front door&mdash;36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you&rsquo;ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. &ldquo;Standard&rdquo; only works if it matches what&rsquo;s already in place.</p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of a doggie door?

• <div><p>While doggie doors are convenient for pet owners, they do offer a few drawbacks. For instance, they&rsquo;re small enough that unwanted critters could come into the house, such as raccoons, snakes, rats, and insects.</p><p>They&rsquo;re also large enough that small children can escape through them, which can be a serious concern to parents of young children.</p><p>Finally, doggie doors can make it difficult to regulate your home&rsquo;s temperature because they constantly let in hot or cold outside air.</p></div>

Q: Do I put hinges on the door or frame first?

• <div><p>You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it&rsquo;s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there&rsquo;s less clearance on the lock side.</p></div>

Q: Can you turn a normal door into a fire door?

• <div><p>You might be able to turn a normal door into a fire-rated door, but you&rsquo;re better off purchasing one that meets all NFPA 80 standards. If you want to DIY a normal door into a fire door, you&rsquo;ll need a self-adhesive intumescent seal, metal hinges, fire-resistant glazing, and a self-closing device, but you&rsquo;re always better off buying a certified fire door.</p></div>

Fantastic and fast work. Hired for a sidewalk to my front door. Was here in less than a week after receiving a very reasonable quote. They had the old torn up and new poured in like 5 hours. Came the next day to clean up and finish. So friendly! Highly recommended over and over again!
