Practical Solutions for Common Door Problems

May 06, 2024

Get excited about practical solutions for common door problems you might face as a homeowner. We understand that doors are the gateways to your home and must be functional, comfortable, and secure. So, to help you out, we have compiled a list of common door problems and effective ways to address them. 

Creaky Doors

We know how annoying creaky doors can be, especially at night. But don’t worry, we have a solution. Applying a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges and door handles can make them quiet and smooth. If the problem persists, our door hardware replacement services can provide a long-lasting solution.

Drafts Under Doors

Drafts under doors can be a real problem regarding energy efficiency and heating bills, especially during cold winters. Our temporary solutions, such as sealing gaps with weatherstripping or a door sweep, can help, but it’s essential to address the root cause of the problem. Consider replacing your old doors with our new, energy-efficient models for a comprehensive, long-term solution. Our doors are designed to provide superior insulation and a perfect fit, eliminating drafts and reducing energy costs.

Sticking Doors

Doors that stick or are difficult to open and close can be frustrating, especially in older homes. We suggest cleaning the hinges and door tracks and removing any dirt or debris. Lubricate the hinges and tracks with silicone-based lubricant (avoid oil-based products as they can attract more dirt). If needed, adjust or replace any damaged door hardware to ensure smooth operation.

Broken Locks

Broken or ineffective locks can compromise the security of your home. We recommend replacing the locks or upgrading to high-security models. This enhances your home’s safety and improves its energy efficiency by ensuring the doors are tightly sealed when closed.

Warped or Damaged Doors

Warped or damaged doors can offer poor insulation and compromise the security of your home. Our solution is to replace the doors with new, energy-efficient models that provide superior insulation and security. Our door replacement services offer a range of modern door options that match any home style.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we believe that dealing with common door problems promptly can save you from larger headaches down the road. We understand that you might be unsure about tackling these issues alone, but don’t worry; consult with our professionals to get personalized advice and solutions tailored to your home. Trust us, the proper fix can enhance your home’s comfort and security.

Hear From Our Customers

Jason and Brett did an awesome job installing our doors. We had separate installers a month earlier for our windows who also did a fantastic job. They were all very professional and cleaned up almost better than the area looked before the installation! Since these were both jobs that took more than one day the installers were great at keeping us informed on the status of where the project was at along the way.

I cant express how happy we are with choosing Andersen for our window installation. Our sales representative was knowledgeable with product and answered any questions we had without hesitation. I did also fill out a survey that was sent in an email, but sadly I failed to personally name the two gentlemen that performed the actual installation. Barrett and Francisco were our guys, and let me tell you, they were outstanding!!! They did Excellent work and were professional as well as efficient and made this a smooth, none evasive process for us. I strongly recommend this company and these installers to anyone in need of windows!!! My husband and I could not be more pleased we chose Andersen for replacing our windows!!!

This was a great crew to work with. Both the original install manager we worked with (Jay) and the install team (Daniel, Mason, Tony, Ethan, and Jose). Everyone was very professional and knowledgable. They answered all my questions and the end result on the house is great. In 3 days they replaced an old bay window with a new bay window, a set of french doors on the patio with a sliding patio door, and our old front door with a new front door and storm door.
