How to Decide on a New Interior Door

Discovering that perfect interior door sometimes doesn't begin with its design or raw material, but with a decision as simple as whether the door needs to be painted or stained. If the theme of your home and decor call for something a bit more traditional, then consider a wood panel door or French door; both of which come in an endless assortment of wood species to compliment any environment.

If it's a painted look you're leaning towards, a broad collection of molded panel, flush, or crown doors are the most commonly preferred for paint application.

The style of your new interior door is next on the list and allows for a wide, open range of designs to match your home or assist that new renovation. The proper style can be the difference between traditional or contemporary, rustic or craftsman, elegant or chic; the perfect door will assist and enhance the look and feel of your home's decor.

With your desired style in mind, you will next need to select a material to match your individual design, performance, and aesthetic needs. This decision can come from the selection of a wood panel, molded panel, wood flush, wood louver, or wood French door.

Finally, choose your door's construction. Wood panel and wood French doors feature a solid, stile, and rail construction, whereas a molded panel or flush door allows you to select either a solid or hollow core construction. If you do end up selecting a solid core door, it is worth nothing that they provide the heft and feel of a solid wood door and greatly muffle sound transmission for a little added privacy.

Take a step back and consider the goals of your new interior door. By melding all of the variables together, you will ultimately produce the best results for you and your home.

Accessories For Your Door - Hardware Options For Architectural Doors

Installing an architectural door in your home is like hanging a work of fine art in your living room. Great time and care has gone into the decision to purchase your "work of art." You've spent hours deciding on the right decorative theme. You've selected your favorite colors. You've compared the work of several "artists" before finding the product that perfectly suits your taste, home and lifestyle. An architectural door, like fine art, is not a mere afterthought. It's a carefully-planned and sought out part of your home that is meant to stand out and be appreciated. And like enjoying every color and tiny brush stroke of your work of art, no detail on your architectural door has gone unnoticed. That includes the type of hardware you choose.
 
When speaking of "hardware," this refers to those smaller parts of the architectural door that "accessorize" it: doorknobs/handles, hinges, lock mechanisms and virtually any other piece that is added to the door itself after fabricating. All of these hardware options for architectural doors are functional and necessary parts of any door. However, they should not be afterthoughts. A carefully chosen piece of hardware can be both highly functional and as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of your architectural door.
 
Choosing hardware options for your architectural door should be an integral part of the design process. Anything you choose should complement the design of the door but not detract from the overall aesthetic quality of the "picture" as a whole. There are a number of hardware options to consider when you begin to design your architectural door, including:
 
* Door pulls. There are various styles of door pulls to choose from. Traditional knobs are rounded or spherical. Lever-style handles are grasped and turned in a clockwise motion to release the inner latch. Handles, which are common on commercial doors, are grasped with the hand while the thumb presses a very small lever-style button to release the catch. All of these hardware options come in an array of colors, materials and designs.
 
* Hinges. The most common type of hinge is the butt hinge. It consists of two plates which are attached to abutting surfaces on the door and door jamb and are joined by a pin. Other types include pivot hinges, Baldwin hinges, spring hinges and pivot hinges. Most types are available in a variety of colors, materials and finishes to complement any architectural door design.
 
* Locks. Door locks may be part of the door handle/pull itself or may be a separate piece. Locks may be purchased as a set with the door pull. They may also be purchased separately. If so, it's important to choose a lock that comes in a similar style, color and finish as the door pull.
 
* Door closers. This is a hardware option that is almost always found on commercial doors. They are not typically installed on residential doors. However, door closers can be an added security feature in a residential home, especially where there are children who may not always remember to close the door behind them.
 
Every detail of your architectural door should be carefully planned in order to create an overall "picture" that is eye-catching and tasteful. Fortunately, the abundance of hardware options for architectural doors will allow you the chance to be creative and to express yourself with a home that speaks of sophisticated class, right down to the very last detail.

Viewtiful Joe Theme Song Full Version With Lyrics

Lyrics: "It's like one day you found a treasure in childhood tried sharing that pleasure but no one would listen It turned into the fragile heart So you tried to be a treasure of someone else But if there's no one to take you either way There's no reason to stay no need to be fake Towards somewhere else you're supposed to be Just make it a brand new day It's time to walk away I left a note on the door "Don't worry about me" I won't come back until I see.... Freely toumei na shunkan ni aini yukutoki brighter side tsuzuku michi no mukou gawa Dreams egakeruyo kuuchuu ni yoake niwa hikari no asa atarashii kaze no soba When I left my place to go face the world Everything seemed like a dream but now feels so cold There's no one around, certain things unfound When I feel like I'm hittin' the ground I lock my door inside so tight To believe I can make it right I know I can get through it all But the world is so big and I feel so small I got no pride, that's why I hide Something hard to see Can become reality You're not alone, you'll find me there Freely toumei na shunkan ni kakenuketa subete brighter side yuugure no tobira aketara Dreams egakeruyo machu ni yoake niwa hikari no asa atarashii kaze no soba You've never known It's in your hands When you just try to walk away You've never known It's in your hands There's more to you than meets the eye Remember, We used to view the whole world explore Though it's hard to be refused, just look out the door We all make mistakes and we ...

I never thought it would be me, barking up the wrong tree but I am. What would he do, if he knew what was really going on. He would probably seal the deal and I'd be left alone. Cause... he doesn't know that I'm kissing another man while he's missing me. He wouldn't see any difference cause my secret is safe with me. I know I shouldn't keep anything from him, but I'm hiding away because I love him. I'm out the door and throw away the key. And it's safe with me. (Safe with me) When I'm with my man, I don't got to pretend, cause my heart feel like it's home. But the second I leave, I loose track of my feet and I run to another zone.

And We'd Laugh! And We'd Laugh! Ah, and we'd take pop shots at the passing cars *Ping* And We'd Laugh! We were dumping the body and we'd laugh. We found a place that was dark and rotten, a place where the police helicopters would never spot us. I destroyed the map that we'd so carefully plotted. Every day we're dumping a body, she and me Every single day. And we'd laugh about it. That's when I knew it was time that we both killed ourselves together. Together we were nothing but a menace.

Composite Doors - Why Use Them Over Wooden Doors?

Composite doors are much in demand and desired over wooden doors. There are many benefits and advantages by using these doors instead of the usual wooden doors. One major advantage is that you do your bit for the planets Environment by using Composite doors instead of wooden doors. Wooden doors are made from the trees chopped down from the world's rain forests. All over the world, thousands of trees are chopped down every day for firewood, furniture, windowsills, houses, etc, and of course Doors. Over the centuries, mankind has cut down millions of trees. The forests are dwindling and this is leading to the Greenhouse effect. By using Composite Doors for your Home and Office, you can do your tiny bit to save the Environment.

Another advantage of using Composite Doors is their durability. Wooden doors, however well made, with the best wood possible, tend to rot in inclement weather. After a few years, you either have to replace or repair the door. Wooden doors are also prone to termite attacks and the only option is to replace the door. Wooden doors are not as secure, as they can be easily broken down, unlike Composite Doors. Composite Doors, on the other hand are more durable, rust free, long lasting, termite resistant, and can survive any kind of inclement weather conditions, as they are made from Aluminum, glass, and some other materials too. These Doors retain their beauty and durability over the years and they look as good as new even after a few years.

Another major advantage of Composite Doors over Wooden Doors is the initial cost and the cost of maintenance. The initial cost of these doors is lower than that of a wooden door, and the cost of maintenance is negligible. While the cost of buying a wooden door and the cost of maintenance can be heavy on the pocket for a wooden door. Besides this, Composite doors are available in hundreds of Designs, styles, colors, with optional attachments like doorknockers, spy-holes, etc, unlike wooden doors.

You can select the specific Design and style required for the Main Door of your house, a different style for your back door, etc. you can even mix and match the Design and styles. You can select the color for your door from a huge range of colors, including wood finish. The Composite Doors can also have glass sections with plain, glazed, or glass with designs. In short, you can make your door as beautiful as you want to, according to your budget. You can select the design, color, style, for your door from the dealers website and place your order at the same time - all in a few hrs, without stepping out from your home or office.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Electronic Safes and Key Safes

There are different options for safe entry available, whether they are keyed or electronic digital keypad or combination locks. There are varying degrees of cash ratings, which affect the security levels and locking mechanisms of the safes, such as dual locking, maybe with key and electronic, key and combination, or combination and electronic digital access locks. Time rating is the time delay required to compromise the safe door by picking locks or by tampering with tools or experimenting with combinations. It also measures the time to get through a certain thickness of door.

In a business, with employee turnover, it is reassuring to know that digital electronic or combination entry can be easily and immediately reprogrammed, when you have terminated an employee. If terminated employees are aware of this ability, they will automatically assume that is the first thing you did when they left. Keys can be "lost", making it necessary to have the lock changed or the lock drilled and re-keyed to protect against a terminated employee or "lost" keys and this is often dependent on a locksmith coming out. With combination and electronic access safe locks, you can change the door-lock combination, or digital electronic safe combination, without telling anyone, anytime you desire. Some business owners make a habit of changing their combinations on a regular basis for security purposes.

At home, with a personal safe, the same is true, it is possible for you to lose a key and if you hide it in the house, a thief could possibly find it. If you lose a set of keys, not only are your car and home compromised if the thief knows where you live, but your safe key may be on there as well, giving access to a safe with your cash, valuables, jewellery and maybe even important identification documents. With a digital electronic safe lock, you can immediately change the combination, if you think it has been compromised or at random, so you are not dependent on noticing whether a key has been lost or having a locksmith appointment to change the lock.

In business and personal safes, multiple degrees of security can be found in way of time-delayed entry to waylay tampering or that have safe door destruction in case of theft or burglary. Safes are also rated by the amount of currency they hold and increasing security and safety measures built to increase as currency levels increase. All safe cash rating is based on the amount of insurance cover for overnight storage they contain, and ten times the amount for jewellery and valuable storage. Since many of these are protected by both electronic digital and key locks, it could be argued that electronic digital locks are the safest, but the combination of the two together provides a higher level found on most of the higher cash rating safes.

Safes can be installed into concrete floors, which offers added insulation from fire and a keyed lock may survive a fire, where a digital electronic lock may not. By consulting with your safe security expert, you will be able to find a solution to keep your hard-earned personal and business valuables protected, no matter what type of locking mechanism you desire.

A superb alternative to using standard locks, which were recently revealed to be obsolete due to the ridiculous ease of picking them (search youtube for "bump keying").

How to Choose the Best Composite Doors

What is it that keeps you worrying about your house the most? The answer is bound to be the security factor. And needless to say, doors do provide the basic home security. With newer technologies emerging every moment, the market is flooded with various types of doors. Composite doors are one such innovation that promises to safeguard the security of your abode in style. However, choosing the right door is not as easy as it seems on the surface level. Home owners often find it difficult to choose from scores of types and styles of composite doors. In this article I will help you make this uphill task of selecting the right composite doors for your house, easy and manageable.

While choosing the front door it is important that you pay attention to both the quality and the look. If the door is strong with a look that does not match your house, it will not work. At the same time a fashionable door that can be damaged easily is also of no use. Try to find a door that can provide you safety, privacy and style at an affordable rate. Composite doors serve all of these purposes. The first step towards choosing the right door is going for the right provider. This is understandably difficult for the newbie. However you can depend on your own research and word of mouth to be sure about the credentials of the company.

Once you have zeroed down on the provider, now is the time to check the quality of composite doors. Starting with the aesthetic look of your door, check whether they are made of glass reinforced plastic to be sure of their waterproof facilities. Often homeowners are found to be choosy about the color of the doors. With composite doors you can drive away that thought as you are bound to be spoilt with color variations. Remember that it is equally important to maintain the color in the future. So go for providers who assure you of doors that don't need repainting and are less scratch-prone.

Don't choose composite doors with long-term warranty. This is help you ensure lesser maintenance cost in case of damage. Be careful about choosing the right hardware for your doors. The hardware is an important part of front doors as well as for the other doors. Hardware for all doors is not the same and you need to understand the right type of hardware for each and every door. If you are new to all these, make sure that the vendor provides you with the fit-in services so that getting the door in place becomes less hazardous for you. Like every other commodity prices of composite doors vary with quality and design. You need to compare the offerings of various provides to strike the best deal.

Insulating Stained Glass to Be Installed in a Door

Tempered glass needs to surround decorative glass used in a door. This protects people from injury if the glass is broken and it also serves as a barrier against heat loss during cold months. Tempered glass must be ordered in advance and once its been tempered, it can't be cut or ground. (there are pictures that were taken to illustrate this article, click on the link at the bottom of this article to see them)

#1 Here the panel is lightly cleaned to get any dust off of it that may have collected after you take it to them. They only do a light cleaning, you are responsible for making sure that it is as clean as possible when you take it to them.

#2 Next, the tempered glass is sent through a machine which "super cleans" and dries it.

#3 The stained glass is next laid out on one sheet of the tempered glass. It is centered and there is a gap on each side and top and bottom of 5/16" (the size you subtracted from your finished size when building your panel).

#4 Now, a sticky backed, foam tape with a metal skin is applied to the stained glass panel and the tempered glass below. It sticks to both pieces and holds them firmly.

#5 The metal tape is scored on each corner so it can be folded around the corner with a sharp clean edge. The tape can vary in width, this tape is 1/2", (we recommend 1/4" since the air gap will be less noticeable and the final width of the piece will be 1/2" total.

#6 Laying the second sheet on the foam tape requires help because they only get one chance to do it perfectly. Once the top sheet touches the tape, it's stuck. For this reason, you should always allow for an extra 1/8" in the finished opening of your door, in case the two sheets are slightly misaligned.

#7 Finally, the completed "sandwich" of glass is clamped in a table and hot butyl rubber is forced between the two sheets of tempered glass and filling the gap between the two. This covers the foam tape completely.

#8 Here, the completed window is ready for the customer to pick it up and to install it in their door.

Finally, the completed panel is installed in the door and it looks great!

To correctly size a window, we recommend the following:

The decorative panel should be sized 1" smaller than the actual opening in the door. This allows there to be enough space for foam tape in the bottom of the opening to support the window and for silicone in the sides and top to hold the panel securely. The tempered glass (ordered in advance from the glass company) should be 1/8" smaller than the actual opening on each side or 1/4" smaller in total.

The window trim must be 1/2" or greater on each side. This will allow any slight gaps between the foam tape used when applying tempered glass to the decorative panel to be covered by the trim.

Should Your Home Security System Use Biometrics?

If you're looking to beef up your home's security in order to increase your family's safety, protect your possessions, and even lower your homeowners insurance, then you are probably researching many of the alarm systems out there. All the options and features can be pretty daunting. Should consider a monitored system or not? Should you get a system that's hooked up to your computer and can be checked on over the Internet? Do you need video surveillance cameras? Do you need biometrics?

Wait a minute, what is biometrics anyway?

This article can't cover all the different features, options, and equipment related to burglar alarms and home security systems, but we can get you up to speed on biometrics.

First off, what is it?

Basically, biometrics is a way of controlling access to a system (whether your computer, your car, or your home) by comparing some physical aspect of a person (i.e. fingerprint or handprint or--in more expensive systems even eyeball retina scans) with information stored in an electronic file. When a match is made, access is granted.

In short, biometrics tests who you are instead of what you can remember (codes, passwords, etc.).

When it comes to home security systems, you're most likely to see fingerprint readers. For example, fingerprint activated door locks are becoming popular replacements to the typical lock and key systems. (A fingerprint door lock can be great even if you're not thinking about security and you just want to be able to get into your house when you've lost your key or have your arms full of grocery bags!)

How is biometrics used in home security?

As we've mentioned, fingerprint door locks are becoming more and more common. Other places in your home where you may use biometrics include safes, computers, and to access the panel of your security system.

If you're familiar with the systems that require you to enter a numeric code after stepping into the house (and if you don't remember the code in time, then you're in trouble), then imagine just pressing your finger or thumb to a reader instead of having to punch in a code. This can be particularly helpful for children who might have trouble figuring out codes. When you get the security system, you simply program the control panel to recognize the fingerprints of everyone in the family (or everyone you want to have access to your home), and arming and disarming the alarm system becomes a snap.

It's generally easy to change access too. If you want to give your nanny or house sitter access to your home while you're away, then you can just add their fingerprint to the file. When you don't want them to be able to arm or disarm the security system any more, it's a simple matter to remove their access.

What about advantages or disadvantages to biometrics?

We've already touched upon some of the advantages of this technology. With biometrics, you increase convenience, eliminate the annoyance of remembering PINs and passwords, get rid of the need for keys, and in many cases increase security since biometrics are extremely hard to forge (no more worrying about if some unscrupulous visitor might make a copy of your key).

Disadvantages of biometrics are relatively few, but expense may be considered one. For example, a fingerprint door lock will cost you at least a couple hundred dollars while you could pick up a new key-and-lock set at the home improvement store for $20.

As you can see, however, there are many reasons why you might incorporate biometrics into your home security plan. As long as you are going through the expense of installing a burglar alarm system, this might be something to consider.

Purchase the Interior Doors For Your Home Online

When you need new interior doors for your home, you can see all the different types you can choose from when you search online. You can also make your purchase online and have the doors delivered to your door. This is especially good for those living in rural areas and have to travel quite a distance to reach the nearest home improvement store. It is important for you to make the right choice in interior doors because the doors you choose add to the décor of your home.

When you search online, some of the door styles you can choose from include:

* Bifold doors

* Space saver doors

* Pocket doors

* Primed hollow doors

* Glass fitted doors

* Semi-solid doors

* Flush doors

* Veneered panel doors

* Double doors

* Room dividers

Of these the white primed hollow door is the most commonly used. This is because of their beauty and their reasonable price.

You can also choose doors in a wide range of wood, of which oak is the most popular. It is natural that you will get standard size doors when you order online, but you have the best chance of getting hard to find sizes.

When you order your doors online, you can also save yourself time and money by ordering the door frames to fit each of the interior doors. This way you don't have to measure the openings, purchase the wood and saw the board into the correct measurements. There are complete interior door sets available, but they do not include the threshold under the door. You may need to cut the legs of the frame, as well, because most of them are longer than necessary.

Panic Bars Offer Safety and Security

In the early 1900s, the panic bar was invented to prevent people from being trapped inside a building during a fire. Panic bars are now a required safety feature in all commercial buildings. Modern panic bars can be used on fire doors, time-delayed doors, and delayed exit systems. Mechanical and electric exit devices offer superb security and safety.

A basic, mechanical panic bar can be installed on fire exit doors or any door that needs the security of being locked on the outside but able to open from the inside. For example, back doors of offices, warehouses and retail business may opt for this type of locking mechanism. The best panic bars meet ANSI A156.3 - 2001 Grade 1 criteria. For the greatest security, choose panic bars that offer more than 2,000 pounds of static load force resistance. This prevents intruders from pulling or prying the door open from the outside.

Electric panic bars can be tied into a fire alarm system to automatically unlock when the alarm is tripped. In addition, some models can be programmed to trip the alarm system when they are pushed open from the inside. Typically, these types of panic bars are used on buildings with high occupancy levels that utilize a fully featured fire and security alarm system. Another function of electric panic bars is to control exit through a delayed exit system. These mechanisms allow security personnel to monitor access to and from the facility.

On new construction, door frames can be designed to accommodate the installation of the newest panic bar designs that include a more secure double latch mechanism and technology that makes bar operation quieter and smoother. When retro-fitting existing doors, look for panic bars that easily install in the existing panic bar footprint without having to do expensive door preparation.

The final consideration in selecting and installing panic bars is what type of trim to use on the exterior of the door. If the door is not intended as an entrance, then no trim is necessary or you may choose to install a night latch that includes a key lock with or without a handle. Other options include a dummy handle, a handle with a thumb latch and key lock, or a lever handle with a key lock. Panic bars can be designed to lock on the inside either with a hex key or a cylinder lock. Electric models often do not include an interior mechanical locking option and can only be locked and unlocked through the security system. Expect to pay $600 and up for quality panic bars; electric options raise the cost to $1000 and up.

Auto Lock Picks

Have you ever locked yourself out of your car and had no spare key? In such a case you have the choice of calling a locksmith or busting out a window or you can get yourself a set of auto door opening tools. Sure lots of folks take a clothes hanger if you can find one of the metal ones, but these days most clothes hangars are being made of plastic and the ones you can bend in the form of a loop or hook are becoming harder to find, not to mention that most cars today aren't built with windows like they were 20 years ago. Its so easy to shut off your car and jump out while locking your door only to look back and see your keys still dangling in the ignition.

I'm one of those people who can never remember to get myself a spare key for my car, so years ago I bought myself a set of professional auto door opening tools and it has proved to be one of the best investments I ever made. I can't count the number of times I have locked myself out while being preoccupied thinking about something else, I even did it one time while the car was still running, and if you have ever done it you know the feeling of pain in your wallet as 40 bucks just flew out, not to mention your embarrassment as your local locksmith cheerfully greets you with a "lock yourself out eh?"

Auto door opening tools today are a bit different from the old slim jim that used to be the mainstay of car door openers. Nowadays a lot of cars use electronic locks and for that you will have to have a tool that looks sort of like the letter "h" with a bent prong on the end of it. You slide the big part down beside the window till it clears the bottom of the glass, then pull it back up inside the car and push it down to the lock button and press it with the tool. Most of the better auto door opening kits come with at least a couple of these types of lock picks.

Prices for auto door opening kits range from 50 dollars for a set of slim jims to over 400 bucks for a complete kit with all the bells and whistles, but from my experience the average person only needs a slim jim and a couple of the h tools mentioned above. Its also a great way to make some extra income from family and friends who just like you tend to be forgetfully sometimes.
