Doors serve as your home’s primary mode of defense against thieves and unwanted visitors. When your doors are compromised, there could be a lot of potential problems that may come with that.
Fortunately, a local door and window company can always help you with such problems. All it takes is one call to get someone to replace your defective or damaged patio door. But the question is when to make that call. Since such services will be an investment.
So when is the right time to replace your patio door? Let’s find out!
1. Appearance
The first thing you should look for is cosmetic damage. We are not talking about a few little scratches that your dog probably caused. A patio door worthy of replacement is the one that looks dingy, with extensive dents, scrapes and scratches at its sides.
2. Drafty
Did you know that your doors and windows contribute a lot to your home electric expenses? When doors and windows are not properly installed, damaged or warped, they can become drafty, which increases heat transference or infestation. In this case, replacement windows or patio doors are required to avoid further problems.
3. Warping
The whole point of having a door is to secure the house, but you can’t do that when your patio door has already warped. Some vinyl and wood doors tend to suffer from this problem due to the exposure to extreme temperatures. Sometimes, it’s also caused by old age and damages. When this happens, it makes loud noises or gives you a hard time closing and opening the door.
