The doors in and around your house are an important feature which protects your property and separates the rooms within. But if they aren’t working as they should, then it’s a good idea to get them replaced or even upgrade to a new style. From front doors, to French doors don’t ignore obvious signs that they need replacing - so out with the old and in with the new.

 

To learn about four signs that your doors need replacing, this blog will reveal all.

 

Breaks-ins

 

The most persuasive nudge to get your doors replaced is if you’ve experienced a break-into your home. If an unwanted guest can visibly see that your front door is damaged or looks weak, this will make your house a target as the chances of breaking in successfully are high - in contrast, doors that are sturdy will fend off criminals since the challenge of getting in is more likely to get them caught. Back doors should also be well-maintained as breaking in from the garden is a common strategy for burglars. Don’t put you and your family at risk, replace old doors and increase the safety of your home.

 

Functionality

 

If your doors aren’t working as they should, such as stiff door handles or broken latches, then it’s time to update your doors. You shouldn’t need to wedge things under doors or use other DIY techniques to use your doors, instead, go to a professional window and door company who will have a range of products for you to choose from.

 

Appearance

 

Your doors may be working as they should, but cracked paint and rusty hinges are not the prettiest sight. Updating your front door can improve the overall look of your home’s exterior, and create great curb appeal. Make your house stand out from the rest on your street with a shiny new door that looks good and even matches your garage door or windows.

 

Poorly fitted

 

Badly installed doors can result in a whole host of problems. Firstly, gaps under the door can lead to persistent drafts within the home, and during the winter this may lead to an increased use of your central heating. These gaps can also let in pests which can damage the inside of your home. Secondly, poorly installed doors can mean they don’t hang correctly in the door frame and scrape along the floor - this can cause damage to your flooring especially on wooden surfaces.
