So, what exactly counts as apartment interior design? I’m dying to know. Is it the bathroom door, the toilet, the lightbulb, the cabinet, some ceramic Virgin Mary, a Jesus candle, a little electric Elvis with LED lights, the kitchen range hood, or maybe a Persian rug? Apparently, those are all "interior" elements.

But the front door—the one I actually walk through and everyone sees from the hallway? Not so much.

Why am I even asking? Because I wanted to start a thread about the front door I'm buying on the housing subforum. I did exactly that, but the moderators just merged my post into some "front doors" thread located in a tiny baby subforum called "interiors"—a place where practically nobody with actual knowledge of entryways ever hangs out.

Seriously, how can an AC unit thread be allowed in the main housing section, yet a topic about front doors isn't?

Thanks.

The front door takes up at least half the interior space 😁

And honestly, this debate about interiors has been going on forever. If others think we should just move the topic over to the residential section—fine by me...

But honestly, look at the rest of the threads in the interior design section—NO ONE looking for front doors is going to browse through interior decor, because a door isn't an interior element. It just isn't 🙂. Since it doesn't fit there, it makes perfect sense for it to be in the main directory. So, please, I’m asking you nicely: I desperately need help finding front doors (as do many others here who have been completely ignored), yet nobody in the interior section gives a damn about entryways. They are focused on decorating the inside. They probably already picked out their doors. 😁

But wait, what if there isn't even an entrance? If there's no doorway, can we even say there's an interior? I mean, does such a thing even exist at all in that case...

I’m throwing my hat in the ring on this request while I still have a window of opportunity to swap out my front door before the temperature plunges to twenty below—otherwise, I'll be stuck stuffing towels under the frame just to keep the draft from freezing me out.

The door isn't part of the interior.

Yeah, it’s pretty clear they aren't exactly paying much attention to us...

The current state of affairs? It is, quite frankly, exactly what one would expect given the circumstances. One has to wonder, though—does anyone actually find this surprising? Or are we all just collectively pretending that the inevitable hasn't arrived? It seems we are simply witnessing the predictable outcome of a series of rather questionable decisions.
I suppose we should begin at the beginning, shouldn't we? It seems only logical to establish a baseline before we dive headlong into the complexities ahead. One cannot simply leap into the deep end without first considering the depth of the water—or, in this case, the sheer volume of information we are expected to process. Is it not always the case that the most straightforward starting points are also the most deceptively simple? Let us proceed with caution, then. The doors serve a dual purpose, don't they? Is there anything more predictably tedious than an exit interview? One begins to wonder if these sessions serve any actual purpose beyond providing HR with a tidy little paper trail to justify their existence. Does anyone truly believe that being "candid" about why you’re leaving will result in anything other than a polite nod and a swift dismissal from the building? It feels less like a conversation and more like a ritualistic performance of corporate politeness. Is it possible to be honest without sounding disgruntled, or is that simply not part of the script? Consider the door—specifically that transitional moment when one is standing inside and decides it is high time to head outdoors. One might argue that such an object exists in a state of perpetual duality, functioning as an equal component of both the interior and the exterior. Is it not a curious architectural paradox?

But there is a catch, isn't there? Most of those entry and exit doors actually swing open. Regarding the interior. I shall move this thread to its appropriate subforum... specifically, the one dedicated to entry and exit doors. Interiors. It was a perfectly legitimate decision. 🧐

Perhaps we should consider a title change for this thread at some point. Exit doors. Is there anything more profoundly uninspired? One spends half their life navigating them, yet we rarely pause to consider the sheer, utilitarian monotony of the design. It is the ultimate symbol of transition—moving from one space to another without so much as a second thought. Why do we accept such mundane architecture as a given? It begs the question: if an exit is meant to signify a departure, shouldn't it at least possess a modicum of character? Instead, we are left with nothing but functional, soul-crushing portals that exist solely to facilitate our movement through various buildings. Truly remarkable in its banality. 🤷

Let’s all just embrace cheap demagoguery for a moment. An entrance door is NOT part of the interior. Have you ever walked into a retail store and seen an entrance door categorized under "interior"? NO. Why? Because they aren't interior. You find them in stores with—guess what—ENTRANCE doors. Not even in shops where the doors are set back inside the building, but in shops with actual ENTRANCE doors. Come on, please, if an air conditioning unit can be placed in the root directory, why can't this topic? Nobody browsing the interior section is looking for this, because they are interested in completely different things, so putting this topic in the root makes the most sense.

Honestly, this bickering isn't fair. We are talking about people who actually need help—the reason they even joined this forum—but they can't get that help because of a moderator's rigid obsession. Please, have a shred of common sense and realize this forum exists to help people, not to serve as an ego trip for staff. Thanks.

What is this now—some kind of philosophical deep dive into 🤣🤣
Should we just move the whole discussion over to the philosophy section then? 🤣

There's no need for the bickering—we're working through the issue... We'll let you know when there's a conclusion. 😁

...and I honestly don't see why anyone felt the need to call that out.

Grace, you're the only one I actually recognized from the housing registry, so given how things work, I just assumed casualwolf12 was some kind of sub-category. My bad.

Even the best make mistakes when they're working. But if you're trying to get through the front door and find it locked, what do you expect? A little frustration is inevitable. Sorry. 😁

Why on earth does an "Interior" section even exist under Housing? Is there going to be an "exterior" subforum too? What, is that specifically for the homeless?

I actually know a company that specializes in both entryways and interior doors, yet they have "interior" right there in their business name 😬

Look, I don't see why everyone is making such a massive deal out of this. An apartment's front door is located within the confines of a building or a specific living space. Choosing to buy or swap out those entrance doors is fundamentally linked

to the whole process of interior design and stuff like that.

And honestly, I don't think the lack of instant replies is because people are posting in the interior design section. Also, I think saying that almost nobody visits the interior subforum

is a total reach.

We'll touch base soon.

The mods have been busy in the meantime—they went ahead and merged two existing threads into this one:

Because of how urgent this situation is, we’ve bumped this thread to the top of the forum index.

We’re banking on this move driving up traffic significantly and hopefully sparking a wave of rapid-fire responses from everyone.

If things don't pick up speed, we'll have to reconsider where this thread ultimately belongs. 😁

Look, Nene, almost nobody browsing that section is looking for FRONT DOORS. 😁

The average person doesn't consider an entry door part of their interior decor. Seriously. I even used air conditioning as an example earlier! :P Anyway, thanks for moving the thread, though we don't have many more warm days left to get these doors installed. 🙂

And let’s be real, most people here probably already have their doors installed since it's October, and a few of us are just moving at a snail's pace. 😁

There isn't a PDF or anything, but we do have a thread dedicated to interiors and Grace. And no, it’s definitely not for the homeless. Actually, it's quite the opposite! It's really more for the homeowners 😁

So, if I'm following correctly, the matter is pretty much settled for now.
