Q: Does it matter which way a door is hung?

• <div><p>Most of the time, the direction your door swings does matter. Your door&rsquo;s swing is also called its handing, and it determines how your door opens. The layout of your home probably only gives your door enough room to hang and swing in one direction. On the other hand, it might not matter if your door can open freely in either direction without inconveniencing you and your household.</p></div>

Q: Why should you not use WD-40 on door hinges?

• <div><p>WD-40 will make you think that you&rsquo;ve fixed your door&rsquo;s squeakiness. Still, the product doesn&rsquo;t contain enough lubrication to oil the hinge and keep it operating smoothly and effectively. In addition, WD-40 can attract dirt and dust to your hinges, causing more wear and tear and shortening their lifespans. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-lubricate-door-hinges.htm">Learn how to properly lubricate your door hinges</a> so they last as long as possible.</p></div>

Q: Are all cellar bulkhead doors the same size?

• <div><p>No, cellar doors are not all the same size, although they are standardized. Typical sizes are 4 feet or 6 feet wide. Keep in mind that if your cellar bulkhead is very old, it&rsquo;s probably not standardized. Instances like that are when steel foundation plates can come in handy to ensure your new doors will fit.</p></div>

Q: What puts burglars off the most?

• <div><p>Burglars are kept away from would-be targets for a number of reasons, but of 400 incarcerated burglars interviewed, the most cited reason they&rsquo;d avoid a property is if there are people inside, followed by seeing officers nearby. Alarms, lights, and noises inside the house can also deter criminals from approaching.</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>
