Bad Door Installation is More Serious Than You Think: 5 Ways it Could Cause You Trouble

Bad Door Installation is More Serious Than You Think: 5 Ways it Could Cause You Trouble

When a homeowner is looking to purchase a new door, they’re generally concerned primarily with the quality of the door. They want one that looks great, works great, and will last for years to come. However, this isn’t the only factor to consider. If you don’t also have a professional install your front door, then you could be facing some serious issues. Read on to learn about them and then contact Progressive Insulation & Windows at (800) 500-6200 to find the best doors and the best installation.

1. A poorly installed door leads to bad insulation

If energy efficiency is important to you then the way your door is installed should be important as well. Your door must be installed squarely and level. Your door will be exposed to the elements and you need your door to act as a comprehensive barrier to water and other issues. If it’s not installed correctly then you’ll lose the perfect seal – which will reduce your home’s energy efficiency, allow pests into the house, and create drafts.

2. The door or your home could be damaged

The worst-case scenario for your door is that it could be damaged or it could damage your home. If a contractor does this, you better hope they have insurance and are bonded. If you have hired a professional door installation company, then you won’t have a thing to worry about. If you haven’t, then you may have no recourse except to buy a new door and / or pay for repairs to your home.

3. It could be loud and frustrating

A door that’s improperly installed can lead to the door knob ratting even if the door is closed. It can lead to a door that creaks and / or squeaks every time it’s open. The rattling door knob can be caused by a knob that’s loose or that simply doesn’t properly fit in the door. Squeaking can be caused by many issues and can often be easily fixed, but you want a door installation crew who checks these issues before they leave.

4. You could be making your home less safe

A big issue with an older door is that it doesn’t always offer the security you need. Older locks are easy to pick, gaps in your doors can be taken advantage of, and an obviously old door may send a message to a burglar that you don’t have the most updated burglar-proofing in your home. If you want to feel safe and be safe, then we recommend updating your old exterior doors with the help of an experienced door installation technician.

5. Your new door won’t look right

Finally, the reality is that a door that’s not properly installed will just not look as nice. You may have chips of paint scratched off, hinges with marks on them, or even the wrong color door. When you choose to work with an experienced, professional company like Progressive Insulation & Windows, these are not issues you need to worry about.
