Hi there! I’m looking to replace my front door slab (which is 36x80 and 1 5/8“ thick), but the doors I‘m able to find are 1 3/4” thick. I’ve been told that 1/8” is small enough that we can switch from one to the other, but I wanted to ask this community: Is it true that I can replace a 1 5/8“...

Hi All! I recently had a sapele door and sidelights installed and while the installers did a good job finishing and installing the door in the opening, the handleset installation went...poorly. Certain elements they can fix, perhaps suitably. But some they won't be able to, and I'm unsure what...

The lower hinge broke loose on our shower door. It looks like it might be quite an old door because I can't see any similar hinges at the usual stores where such things might be sold. Trying to remove the screws were not easy and I had to resort to drilling it out to remove the hinge. Does...

Hi All- new member here. I’ve been enjoying slowly renovating a bathroom until I ran into a problem with the doorknob. The base plates popped off easily but I can’t get the knobs off. I located the small hole that you’re supposed to insert something into that should release some sort of button...
