With proper upkeep, a front door can endure for
numerous years. Depending on its current state,
specific elements might only require repairs
instead of opting for an entire replacement.
Naturally, the expenses associated with repairs
are generally more economical than those for a
complete replacement. Nevertheless, there comes

door outweighs the benefits of repairing it.
Often, opting for a full replacement becomes
necessary to enhance efficiency and bolster
security measures. Promptly addressing any

RUSTY HINGES

rust, causing creakiness and hindered
functionality. Fortunately, rust removal can
restore smooth door operation. In cases of severe

viable solution. Quick tip Take the opportunity
to examine the overall door condition. If rust
has affected the hinges, check for additional

replacements.

SPLIT PANEL OF DOOR
Aged wooden doors may develop splits in panels
due to wax, varnish, or dirt accumulation,
hindering their flexibility. While cracks are
common, timely repairs are feasible. The extent
of the damage determines the approach. If
multiple panels have split and your budget
permits, opting for a complete front door
replacement ensures durability and strength.

ROTTEN WOODEN DOOR
The strength of a door depends heavily on the
integrity of its frame. Continuous water exposure
can cause wooden doorframes to warp and
eventually decay. Early detection of rot allows
for targeted repairs to the affected sections of
the door or frame. However, if left unattended,
advanced rot compromises the door's structural
integrity, necessitating complete replacement.

LOOSEN DOOR FRAME
Years of use can loosen a door from its hinges,
particularly with heavy materials. Misalignment
not only affects the door's function but also
jeopardizes property security. If you notice
hinge screws spinning without tightening, seek
professional advice. An expert can assess whether
repairing or replacing the door is the best
course of action.
