Can I convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door?

• <div><p>You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it’s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you’ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It’s doable, but expect some trial and error because it’s not a straight-swap situation.</p></div>

Q: Does closing doors in unused rooms save energy?

• <div><p>Leaving vents open but closing doors in unused rooms will probably not save money on your energy bill. Closed doors prevent the natural flow of air throughout the home, which could reduce the efficiency of the overall HVAC system. They could also restrict airflow into and through the return vents, making the HVAC system less efficient.</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: How important is an entryway?

• <div><p>While entryways are seldom added to a house to increase the sale price, they are commonly constructed to increase the livability and enjoyment of a home. So, while they aren&rsquo;t necessary, they do make for a more comfortable and luxurious-feeling home. Entryways are most valuable in areas of extreme heat, cold, or rain, as the space between the living area and the outdoors helps keep the outdoors outside. Plus, snow, wet boots, and mud are all corralled into one space that&rsquo;s easy to clean.</p></div>

Q: What materials do pros recommend for exterior doors?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, and fiberglass are common choices that offer durability and style.</p></div>
