In在…内 Part 25部分25 we wrote about how on June 13th (Friday the 13th) the second replacement front door was installed.我们写了有关如何对6月13日（星期五十三）第二次更换前门安装。

In this article we look at the differences between the first and this second front door.在这篇文章我们看看之间的分歧首先，这第二条战线的大门。

First, this door is wider.首先，这是更广泛的大门。 How can that be?又如何能这样呢？ Did we ask for it to be wider?当时我们要求它必须更广泛的呢？ No. Let me explain what was told to us.号让我解释一下什么是告诉我们。

When you go to a retail store and order a replacement door and frame, the retailer takes your measurements (or the measurements that they took on your behalf … which was the case with us) and sends to order to the door manufacturer.当您到一个零售商店和订购更换大门和框架，零售商需要您的测量（或测量，他们以您的名义…这是个案，与我们）和传送到，以大门制造商。

Mass production manufacturing is the least cost of constructing anything.大规模生产制造，是成本最低的建设的任何事情。 Produce the same thing in exactly the same way to the identical specifications (height, width, thickness, etc.) and the manufacturing costs will be less.生产同样的事情在完全相同的方式，以相同的规格（高度，宽度，厚度等） ，以及制造成本将会减少。

So, let’s say your measurements show that the hole in the wall into which  your current door and frame reside is 70 and 1/2 inches.因此，我们假设，您的测量表明，该洞在墙上，其中到您当前的大门和内居住的是70和1 / 2英寸。 Well, if most of the homes who use the manufacturer’s replacement front door need say 68 inches wide, they will make for you a 68 inch wide door frame and leave it to the installer to figure out the best approach to fill the additional 2 and 1/2 inches difference.好吧，如果大部分的家园谁使用制造商的更换前门需要说六八英寸广泛，他们将作出为您68英寸宽门框和离开它的安装程序，以计算出的最佳方法，以填补额外2和1 / 2英寸的差别。

I am not saying this is a good or a bad approach.  I’m just saying this is the approach that was used for our replacement door #1.我不是说这是一个好的或坏的做法。我只是说这是方法，用于我们的更换大门＃ 1 。

How do I know this?我怎么知道呢？ Well, when replacement door #2 was first put in place in the front of our house I noticed that there was a lot less gap on the sides of the frame to the wall itself.那么，当更换大门＃ 2首次提出在地方，在前面我们家我发觉有很多不足的差距，双方的框架，以隔离墙本身。 So I asked if it was just my imagination and Mike (the installer) said no, it was wider and he told me why.所以我问，如果这只是我的想象力和Mike （安装）说，没有，这是更广泛的，他告诉我为什么。 This door was constructed by a different manufacturer who had slightly different specifications .这门被建造由不同的制造商，谁曾略有不同的规格。 Here’sa picture of door #2’s interior left (from the inside).以下是图片的大门， 2号的内部左（从内） 。 Notice only a little of the spray foam insulation is needed.通知只是一个小的喷涂泡沫保温是必要的。

He also told me that this door was made of steel whereas the prior door was not.他还告诉我，这门是钢，而之前的大门没有。 I could not tell the difference myself but that was nice to hear.我不能告诉自己的差异，但很高兴听到。 Can you tell the difference?你能否告诉区别？ Below is a picture of one of the sides of the first door with the glass insert removed.下面是一个图片之一，双方的第一道门与玻璃插入删除。 Look at the thickness of the metal on either side of the insulation.看看厚度的金属两侧的绝缘。

And now is a picture of the second door, again taken of one of the sides prior to the glass insert.现在是一个图片的第二个门，再次采取了一个双方事先向玻璃插入。

I can’t really tell but perhaps you can.我不能真的告诉，但或许你可以。 It does appear as if the insulation in door #2 (the lower picture) is more compact than that for door #1.它显示为，如果在绝缘门＃ 2 （下图片）是更紧凑，比门＃ 1 。 I don’t know if this has any impact on it’s R value or not.我不知道如果这有任何影响，它的R值或没有。 I’ll try to find out and if I do I’ll let y’all know.我会尝试找出如果我做我将让y'all知道。

In our next article we will go over additional differences between the two replacement doors which we really like and one that we do not.在我们的下篇文章，我们会继续额外两国间的分歧就更换大门，我们真的很喜欢和一，我们不。
