Common Door Issues & Signs You Need a Professional
Your front door is your home's first defense. A drafty or damaged door wastes energy and lowers security.
- Drafts and Light: You can see light around the door edges.
- Rot at the Bottom: Frame is soft and crumbling near the ground from rain splash.
- Hard to Lock: Have to lift or push the door for the deadbolt to throw.

- Security: Long screws in the strike plate make doors harder to kick in.
- Energy Efficiency: Weather stripping and door sweeps keep AC in.
