Q: What size chisel should I use for a door strike plate?

• <div><p>For most doors, you can use a 1-inch chisel to create the mortise for the strike plate. In addition, you can use a 3/4-inch chisel for more refined cuts and to clean up the edges of your mortise. The smaller tool is handy when squaring off the edges around the hole for your latch. </p></div>

Q: Do doors stick more in summer or winter?

• <div><p>Doors get more sticky in the summer. Contrary to popular belief, doors can also stick in the winter since humidity causes doors to stick during both seasons. However, thermal expansion and humidity in the summer mean that the thermal heat and moisture in the air both play a role in causing a door to stick.</p></div>

Q: How do you determine if a door is left or right hand swing?

• <div><p>Look at the door from the outside, or the key side. If the hinges are on the left side of the door, it&rsquo;s a left-hand swing. If the hinges are on the right side of the door, it&rsquo;s a right-hand swing. You can also think of it as which hand you would most likely use to open the door from the outside when considering whether it&rsquo;s a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/right-hand-vs-left-hand-door.htm">right-hand vs. left-hand door</a>.</p></div>

Q: How can I reinforce my apartment door?

• <div><p>Before attempting to reinforce an apartment door, speak to the property owner. If the door hasn&rsquo;t been updated in a while, the landlord may offer to cover the cost of a professional locksmith or your expense of this security update. Rekeying a door can be a costly and lengthy affair, so try low-impact, inexpensive tricks&mdash;like installing a deadlock or a door jammer&mdash;first.</p></div>

Q: What can I use as a door shim?

• <div><p>You can use wood, metal, or plastic as a door shim, but keep in mind that wood will rot easier than the other two materials. Your local hardware store should have at least one type in stock. Alternatively, you can trim a piece of cardboard to fit underneath your door hinge and work as a temporary, makeshift door shim.</p></div>
