My mobile home door has one of those small long windows in it. My question is, is there any specific way or tools that one needs to use to hang a curtain rod on the door? I know it's made out of a different material than a regular interior door, one might find in a non manufactured home.
thanks in advance.
curtain rod on mobile home door

Hi
My bride made me buy a new front door because the original had a window.
I've seen some folks put stick on decals in those windows.
Curtail rod - I would try sheet metal screws and a dab on construction adhesive under the bracket.

Aside from the roof leak, soft floors, rats, mice and bursted plumbing ........ how do you like it?

I would suggest using one of those rods that are magnetic. If it will stick to your door that is. My mother has one and it works great! Just a suggestion. I believe that you can get them at any Walmart. Hope this helps!
Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
Our former stick-built home had a window like that BESIDE the door...facing west. In Arizona. You can imagine the results....
What I did was to find a piece of cardboard and cut it carefully to fit the size of that window. Because the window had a pretty stained-glass pattern that we wanted to show off, I covered the cardboard with white Con-Tact paper. It kept the sun out perfectly, and the stained glass showed up much better than before, so it beautified the exterior, as well.
In our current MH, I adapted that technique for our kitchen window. We're night owls, so I don't like people being able to see that we're up at night...and who wants heavy drapes on a kitchen window!
So I again cut cardboard to fit, only this time I covered it with DARK Con-Tact paper. When we put it up, the most-used room in our house looks totally dark from outside!
Easier, cheaper, and more effective than curtains.
