Buying Guide
What’s the difference between hollow core and solid core?
Hollow-core doors are lighter and typically less expensive, making them common for interior spaces where noise isolation is moderate. Solid-core doors offer better privacy and sound dampening, but come at a higher price and weight. For most interior six-panel doors, hollow-core slabs are adequate, while solid-core options are favored in bathrooms or bedrooms for enhanced privacy.
Prehung vs slab: which should you choose?
Prehung doors arrive with a frame assembled around the door, which simplifies installation and ensures proper alignment. Slab doors require a compatible frame and hardware, making them ideal when you already have a matching frame or want to customize the hardware and hinges to match your decor.
Finish and paintability
Primed interior doors are ready to paint and can be finished to match any color scheme. If you plan to switch paint colors often, primed doors offer flexibility. Always follow manufacturer sanding and painting recommendations for best results.
Hardware considerations
When choosing a door, consider hinge placement, bore holes, and knob/lever compatibility. Some prehung doors include hardware; other options require purchasing separate hinges, knobs, and strike plates. Verify measurements for hinge compatibility with your existing hardware.
Sizing and fit considerations
Precise measurements are crucial. Standard heights are 80 inches, but widths vary (28″, 30″, 32″, etc.). Measure the rough opening and compare it to the door slab or prehung unit. If you are replacing a door in a non-standard opening, you may need a custom fit or trimming performed by a professional.
FAQ
- Q: Are these doors easy to install for a DIYer?
A: Yes, especially the prehung options that include jambs and hardware. Slab doors require a compatible frame and hardware. - Q: Can I paint the primed doors right away?
A: Yes. Primed doors are designed to be painted. Light sanding before painting improves adhesion. - Q: Which is better for noise privacy, hollow-core or solid-core?
A: Solid-core doors generally provide better sound dampening and privacy than hollow-core doors. - Q: Do the products include hinges and handles?
A: Some prehung options include hardware; slabs typically do not. Check the product details for each item. - Q: How do I choose the right door for a pantry?
A: For pantries, a six-panel door with a lighter weight (hollow core) is often sufficient; consider privacy needs and whether you want a fully painted look to match surrounding trim. - Q: Can I install a 32-inch door in a 30-inch opening?
A: Generally not without modifying the opening; ensure door width matches the rough opening or is within an installable range.
