Signs That It’s Time to Replace Your Entry Door

Uncategorized

Your front door takes on the brunt of the household’s activities. Swinging open and closed several times a day will take a toll on the door over the years. Knowing when it’s time to replace the door is a good question. Take a look at these top 5 signs that tell you the entry door has reached its final days.

1. Sealing Issues

No door should be difficult to open or close. It should always swing in and out with ease. Consider your entry door’s connection with the frame. People who must tug, push or force the door into place should be ready for a new installation.

In some cases, the door might scrape the floor. It may gouge the flooring at the same time. A new door should now be at the top of your priority list.

2. Cracks and Pest Concerns

Take a close look at your entry door. Wood styles tend to develop cracks over the years. They start out as narrow fissures, but then they widen and lengthen with the changing seasons.

These cracks aren’t just an aesthetic concern. They allow drafts and moisture into the wood and household. Pests, including clever ants, find their way through the cracks and into the home. Filling the cracks can’t always be the solution. They’ll continue to spread over time. Ideally, ask our professionals at S&K Remodeling for a door quote.

3. Glass Anomalies

Many households opt for front doors with glass accents. They offer a look at the home’s exterior and provide some light into the living space. If you notice any moisture being trapped between the glass panes, it’s time for a new door. The glass and surrounding materials may be breaking down. There could be more moisture trapped inside the door than can be seen with the naked eye. The damage will only continue to degrade the materials.

4. Drafty Conditions

Your entry door provides a barrier against the outside elements. If you can feel any wind driving between the door and frame when it’s closed and locked, a new door should be a consideration. It could be warped or broken down along the edges. The household will continue to lose conditioned air and suffer energy losses until the door has a new replacement.

5. Worn-Down Appearance

An entry door that’s simply worn-down is ready to be replaced. Look for these characteristics, such as:

• Squeaky or rusted hinges

• Dents or dings across the door’s surface

• Water damage

An entry door can only be lubricated and painted so many times. A door that’s a decade old or more will show off its age with even the best care. At S&K Remodeling, we can suggest the latest door styles that will enhance the entire property.
