You may be thinking a door is just a door; they keep the critters out and keep your home secure… right? Well, that’s only a fraction of why doors are beneficial to your home.
Any old door just won’t do—depending on where you live, your windows and doors may have specific requirements. There are certainly many decorative purposes for old and rustic doors, but for safety and security purposes, you don’t want to settle for less than the best.
