Front doors are more than just an entrance to a home. They create design focal points, provide security features, and keep your home energy-efficient. Phoenix experts, Krasiva Windows and Doors, share that a well-maintained door can last for decades and sometimes even for that home’s lifetime. But that durability depends on the quality of the materials used to make the front entry door, which is why Krasiva Windows and Doors only offers above standard products.

Signs It is Time to Replace a Front Door

While many people understand the value of updating windows, most people do not consider a door replacement until it is well past the time of needing one. But, just like windows, exterior doors have become remarkably advanced and offer some significant improvements that make door replacement well worth considering. 

Here are some critical indicators that it is time for a door replacement. 

There are Gaps Around the Door

There should not be any gaps around doors. Any space under or around the door means heating or air conditioning can escape while water, dust, and bugs can get in. If light can peek through the frame or casing or if it is possible to feel a draft from around the door when it is closed, it is likely time to replace the front door. 

The Door is Damaged

Doors are a working feature of the home and, as such, receive a lot of wear and tear. Pay attention to any types and signs of door damage because it can become a severe security issue. Termite damage, for example, can weaken the door structure, as can rotting, rusting, and peeling. Weak or broken hinges also pose a safety hazard and represent an important reason to consider contacting a door replacement company. 

The Door Is Difficult to Open or Close

If a door becomes difficult to open or close, it indicates expanding, contracting, or warping. It may also indicate a structural problem with the frame or casing. These issues are enough reasons to consider a door upgrade. 

An Increase in Energy Bills

An aging door may have gaps that allow heating or cooling to escape the home. As these gaps get wider, there will be an increase in energy costs. Even more significant is that newer doors are far more energy efficient than older doors, as new ones are created using techniques and materials that help improve energy efficiency. 

The Door Is Not Soundproof

A front door should block a significant amount of outdoor noise. If the door lacks sound-proofing or sound reduction capability, it is likely time to upgrade to a new door that offers better insulation. 

The Door Does Not Enhance the Home Design

The front door is a focal point of the home and an important part of curb appeal. If the front door is unsightly, it detracts from the beauty and value of the home. 

Advantages of A New Front Door

• Durable materials 
• Enhanced curb appeal 
• Made for energy-efficiency
• Reduced noise
• Top-notch security: locks and alarms
