Three Key signs that it’s time to replace your exterior door
When it comes to home renovation, replacing the exterior door might not be the first thing on your mind. However, your exterior door plays a crucial role in protecting your home and providing security. This blog will guide you through the key signs that indicate it’s time to replace your exterior door.
1. Drafts and Air Leaks
If you feel a draft coming from around your exterior door, it’s time to replace it. Drafts and air leaks decrease energy efficiency and cause heating or air conditioning systems to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature inside your home or business premises. If you notice a significant increase in your energy bills, it could be a sign that your exterior door is not sealing properly. This can lead to drafts and energy loss, making your home less energy efficient. A new, properly sealed door will save you money on your energy bills.
2. Water Damage and Rust
Water damage and rust are serious concerns for exterior doors, as they can lead to rot and structural damage. If your door has visible water damage or rust, it’s time to replace it. Additionally, be sure to inspect the door’s frame for any signs of water damage or rust. Any visible damage is a sign of something needing your attention. If you notice any cracks, dents, or warping on your exterior door, it is a clear indication that your door has incurred damage. This damage can compromise the strength and security of your door, making it easier for intruders to enter your home.

3. Difficulty Opening and Closing
If you find yourself struggling to open or close your exterior door, it could be a sign of damage or wear. A door that sticks or doesn’t close properly can compromise your home’s security.
If you can’t fix the issue with some minor repairs, it’s time to replace the door. If your exterior door has become difficult to open or close, despite regular maintenance, it could indicate that the door’s hardware has worn out or the door has shifted over time. This can make the door less secure and compromise your safety.
