Q: Can you install a door without a door jamb?

• <div><p>No, you cannot install a door without a jamb. The jamb is where the hinges, strike plate, and trim are attached. A person could ostensibly attach the hinges to the door frame itself, but it would hamper the door from opening and closing like normal. Door jambs also provide crucial support for the door and security for exterior entryways.</p></div>

Q: What is the life expectancy of a hollow core door?

• <div><p>A hollow core door has an average life expectancy of about 20 to 40 years, with most lasting 30 years before they need to be replaced. Doors that are well cared for can last on the longer end, as long as no severe damage occurs.</p></div>

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: Which is more secure: French doors or sliding glass doors?

• <div><p>Usually, french doors are more secure because they have a better locking system and a wider frame that allows for a more robust lock. Because sliding doors are just a big pane of glass with a single lock, they tend to be less secure. While you can get bars and other extra security features for your sliding door, a French door is more secure on its own.</p></div>

Q: How often should you rekey your house?

• <div><p>You should rekey your house every three years to minimize the chances of someone gaining access to your home. You can do it more than that, but it depends on the level of foot traffic and visitors you get. Businesses, for instance, routinely rekey their locks every six months to a year. If you experience a break-in or a house key has gone missing, rekey the locks immediately. The same goes if your lock becomes damaged. </p></div>

They were supposed to insulate all the windows, but the wind was blowing threw them and they had to come back. They were still leaking afterwards, and they just blamed the house. The window manufacturing company came out and put some clips inside them, which did not work. Then in April, they...
