Essential Door Knowledge
To clean glass shower doors, spray a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Wipe it clean with a microfiber cloth or squeegee. For stubborn soap scum, sprinkle baking soda on a damp sponge and scrub gently.
A door jamb is the vertical portion of the door frame that supports the door. It’s what the hinges attach to on one side and what the latch or lock contacts on the other. The jamb helps hold the door securely in place and provides structure for proper alignment.
In most homes, the standard door height is 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches) or about 2032 mm. However, taller doors (84″ or 96″) are also common, especially in newer or custom-built homes.
To program a garage door remote:
Press and release the “Learn” button on your garage door opener.
Within 30 seconds, press the button on your remote.
The opener’s light will blink or click to confirm success. Note: Exact steps may vary by brand (e.g., LiftMaster, Chamberlain).
Interior door: Use a small flathead screwdriver or coin to turn the slot on the knob.
Exterior door: Use the correct key, or call a locksmith if locked out.
Electronic or smart lock: Use the keypad or app-based method provided by the manufacturer.
Consider your home’s style, the material (wood, fiberglass, steel), energy efficiency, and security features when choosing an exterior door.
Interior doors are designed for use inside the home, while exterior doors are built to withstand outdoor elements and offer enhanced security and insulation.
Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. Exterior doors are heavier, more expensive, and not designed for indoor aesthetics.
Pocket doors slide into a hidden wall cavity and are perfect for small rooms, closets, and bathrooms where space is limited.
Bifold doors are commonly used for closets, laundry areas, or as space-saving room dividers.
Deadbolts are the standard choice for exterior doors. Consider smart locks for added convenience and security.
Steel and insulated aluminum are popular for their durability and low maintenance. Wooden garage doors offer a classic look but need more upkeep.
Sliding shower doors and bi-fold designs are great space-saving options for compact bathrooms.
Many shower doors can be installed by a DIYer with the right tools, but some frameless or custom models may require professional installation.
Apply lubricant (like WD-40) to the hinges. If the squeak continues, consider tightening or replacing the hinge screws.
If you’re handy with tools and follow instructions carefully, many interior door installations can be DIY-friendly. Exterior and garage doors often require professional help.
