Q: How thick should a door be?

• <div><p>Most modern, standard doors are 1 ⅜-inches thick, so you should aim for this thickness unless you're building a door to replace an antique door or fit into a non-standard wall opening. Thickness varies when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-pocket-door.htm">installing a pocket door</a> or sliding barn door, so a good rule of thumb is to measure your existing door, if possible. For standard doors, you can also measure from the inside of the door to the door stop to gauge the proper thickness.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a kick plate on a metal door?

• <div><p>Kick plates can absolutely be installed on metal doors. Many kick plates for metal doors are magnetic to avoid needing to drill into the metal, but many door manufacturers make kick plates that can be traditionally installed on metal doors using screws. Consult the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions to see which is recommended for your door model.</p></div>

Q: Do services include security doors?

• <div><p>Yes, many providers offer reinforced steel, fire-rated, and electronic access doors for businesses.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best material for a cellar door?

• <div><p>The best material depends on what&rsquo;s more important to you: Cost? Durability? Looks? Steel cellar doors are tough, water-resistant, and heavy, while fiberglass or composite doors can give you the outdoor aesthetics you crave. Most people favor steel because of its strength against storms, but steel is also one of the more costly options.</p></div>

Q: What are the downsides of bi-fold doors?

• <div><p>Bi-fold doors need clearance to fold into the wall, so they eat up a few feet of space. They are hard to move in snow or high wind. Many homeowners now choose sliding or sectional-style doors for smoother daily use.</p></div>

Customers say: Super punctual

"Paul and Matt did a great job with our basement renovation - installing drywall, doors, a closet, and painting. Paul purchased all the materials, provided detailed invoices and was communicative throughout the whole process. He also began the project on very short notice and did great work at a fair price, both of which were very much appreciated as the project was completed much sooner than we thought would be possible. We would definitely recommend them and work with them again for future projects."
