6. Not All Doors Are The Same Size
When you go to nearly every middle class home in the United States, it seems like everyone has the same door. It’s the white particle board door with the four rectangular panels. These are commonly found at Home Depot and Lowes. So it’s understandable why some people would assume that all doors are the exact same, especially if they seem to come in a modern standard size. But no. Door frames are all different sizes, and you need to measure them first. Never assume that just because a door looks the same, it is the correct size.

If you can’t find the correct size door in stock at your local store, it may be necessary for you to order it online. But trust me, it’s worth the wait. Otherwise, you may end up having to replace every door in the house if you don’t want one awkward unique door that seems out of place to everything else in your home.
