Of course, getting a tablet to last longer between charges takes a little effort on your part, as well as a willingness to accept a few connectivity and performance trade-offs, which we address in this slideshow.
A metal base plate protects the bottom sides of your door from dings, scratches and scuffs. Wood door base plates come in two types: adhesive-backed and screw-on. A screw-on base plate requires putting holes in your door, while an adhesive-backed one does not.
The major advantage to solid core doors is they are more sound deadening than a hollow core door. Another advantage is they are stronger. They will take some abuse without much more than just scratches. The disadvantage is the weight. They are heavy and hard to handle all the way from the lumber yard to your house. The weight of the door can cause some drywall cracking if the door gets slammed hard enough. So if you plan to have any door slamming competition with your spouse or one of your kids; you may not want a solid core door. Another disadvantage is with more wood, more warping can happen. Take care to always apply a finish to all 6 edges (top, bottom, edges and both sides) of the door.
