Q: How do You lock a door with a fork?

• <div><p>This hack required some hand strength. First, bend the fork's tines. Next, slip the pointed ends into the door latch and close the door. Open the door to remove the fork and break off the fork's handle. Reinsert the fork's head into the door latch and close the door. Finally, slide the fork's handle through the tines, creating a horizontal barrier that prevents the door from opening inward.</p></div>

Q: Are two door locks better than one?

• <div><p>You might assume that having two locks on one door will offer more protection than only one lock, but there may not be an advantage. While there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with having two locks if you feel it&rsquo;s best for your living situation, rest assured having one high-quality deadbolt installed correctly will offer a high level of protection.</p></div>

Q: Are pet doors safe?

• <div><p>High-tech solutions and strategic placement can help ensure the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-pet-door-pose-security-risk.htm">safety of your pet door</a>. Pet doors can pose security risks, as well as the risk of stray or wild animals entering your home, but modern pet doors offer options like collar-based sensors to ensure doors will only open for your pet, and installing a pet door in an out-of-sight location or in a wall rather than a door can help to avoid intruders using the door to gain access to your home.</p></div>

Q: Which side of the hinge goes on the door?

• <div><p>The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.</p><p>It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.</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>

Lois Diaz with GM Handyman did a fantastic job refinishing our front door and the wood framing the side windows. He was careful and thorough and communicated clearly about steps involved in the process. I will hire him again and recommend his services to friends.
