Signs of a bad door or bad installation of a door
Doors (and windows) give signs that tell the owner that problem is coming. The sign indicate that it's time to carry out inspection and deduce what the problems is and find the solution to it
When the solution is provided at the right time, you prolong the useful life of the door and spend less on maintenance. But if this early maintenance is ignored, it usually results in bigger cost of repair.
Bad Installation: Two signs clearly show that a door problem is from bad installation job. They are out-of-shape (usually shows shortly after installation) and loss of position.
Out-of-shape: Out-of-shape door appears crooked in position and lacks perfect fitting on the frame and this problem can result from two main situations.
Very likely, the installer did not use the necessary equipment to support the door while installing it.
In the case of an external non-hollow wooden door, a crooked shape could result from a door constructed with fresh pieces of wood – that is, wood recently sawed from a tree and not allowed to completely dry before being used to make a door or window.
When the wood is finally dry (before or after being hunged), it will shrink out of shape.

Loss of position: A door (also a window) may lose position if the frame and/or hinges are not the right match for the weigth of the door or window. If the frame or hinges are weaker than required to hold the door weight, the door will start to lose its position after a period and some of the earlier symptoms include floor marks and creaking or squeaking noise from the hinges. An expert installer should know this and should provide the right advice to the property owner at the time of installation. Unfortunately, not all door/window installers or joiners are knowledgeable enough to understand these errors. However, at Properabode, we know the nitty-gritty about door and window mechanisms, and that is why we educate homeowner, caretakers, janitors on how to avoid potential problems. Noisy Door: In certain weather, a door may make some noises due to friction that occurs as a result of expansion or contraction brought about by temperature changes. It happens when tiny gaps between moving parts close, e.g., hinges. The parts then start to rub against each other. The problem can easily be solve by simple greasing or oiling. If squeaking or scraping sounds persist in all the weather conditions, then, there is a problem with the door and the earlier it is fixed the better. |

A door can be a single-leaf door (commonest) and so-called because it has a single rigid panel. A double-leaf door or double door is a form of the single-leaf but has two free panels that fill the doorway. Some interior doors are either pre-hung (framed) doors or slab doors. While the framed door are ready to be installed on the doorway, the slab door needs to be hung on the frames with hinges and door handles, usually on the pre-installed frames. Door buying guide Certain facts serve as features for door purchasing decision-making. We have categorised them into 3 simple categories depending on your need and where the door is to be installed. Energy efficient door – Consider fiberglass door for the most energy efficient advantage over other doors. It withstands wear and tear better compared with metal or steel doors. Wooden door does well on wear and tear resistance also Security Strength door – Steel door provide protection against buglary better that fiberglass and wood. It is less expesive compare with the earlier two. It may require little maintenance attention; however, it has less energy efficiency than fiberglass and may equally be less reesistant to environmental factors than both wood and fiberglass Maintenance cost – Fiberglass can resist wear and tear as much as wood. While wood is more expensive than fiberglass, it resists impacts better than fibreglass. IN the long run, wooden doors are less expensive to maintain than steel and fiberglass doors. |

The undesirable results of bad doors
The bad impacts of bad doors are also simialr to those of bad windows. These are the reasons why homeowners should not allow doors and windows unattended to or should not allow them to remain in bad condition before fixing them. Operational difficulty: All the problems mentioned before can lead to operational difficulties. One of the greatest problems is when the door starts to scrape the floor causing floor marks and carpet damage. A good door should open and close freely and smoothly. No herculean effort is required to operate a good door, but if that becomes the case, then, one of the problems mentioned is applicable and it’s time to call an expert door handler. Door cracks and damaged seal: In the case of glass doors, any of the mentioned problems can cause the glass to crack. Bad seals may result from poor quality sealing material and that usually affect double glazed doors. |

The sign is that moisture settles around the bottom edges in the inside surface and/or in the space between the double glass.
Heat energy loss: A bad door leads to imperfect squaring or even up with the frames around it. In that case, when closed, gaps are left which permit out-flow of warm air and inflow of cold air.
Gaps around doors and windows allow heat energy inside the house to escape to the outside. Heat loss attracts a high cost of heating in cold regions.
