🚪 7 signs you need a new front door
Is your front door looking a little worse for wear? Here are 7 signs it might be time for an upgrade 👇
1️⃣ It’s difficult to open or close
If you’re having to force, lift or slam your door, the frame, hinges or locking mechanism could be worn or damaged.
2️⃣ You can feel a draught 🌬️
Cold air coming around your door could mean worn seals or poor insulation — and you could be losing valuable heat.
3️⃣ There’s condensation between the glass 💧
This can be a sign that the glazing unit has failed and is no longer providing the insulation it should.
4️⃣ The door is visibly damaged
Cracks, warping, rot or general deterioration can affect both the appearance and performance of your door.
5️⃣ Your energy bills are creeping up 💷
An older, poorly insulated door can allow heat to escape, making it harder to keep your home warm.
6️⃣ The locks are unreliable 🔑
If your lock is sticking, difficult to operate or showing signs of wear, upgrading your door can give you a more secure, modern locking system.
7️⃣ It’s simply looking tired ✨
Sometimes the biggest sign is that your front door is bringing down the look of your home! A new door can instantly freshen up your entrance.
