At Eastway Lock & Key, Inc., we offer a wide range of services to help you keep your business secure. For example, we can install security systems or replace your old locks with more secure models. In some cases, it is necessary to replace the door itself, not just the lock, in order to maintain the security of your building. Keep reading to learn more about door replacement and when it is necessary.
- Warping or Damage – One sign it’s time for a door replacement is visible warping or damage to your existing door. If your entry doors have become damaged or worn, they have also become weaker, and thus easier to force open. We recommend replacing damaged doors with new ones to prevent forced entry.
- Drafts – Another sign it’s time to schedule door replacement is drafts coming in around the edges of your existing door. In some cases it may be possible to get rid of drafts by replacing just the weatherstripping, but in others it will be necessary to replace the door altogether. New doors can increase the effectiveness of your building’s insulation to help keep it comfortable and improve its energy efficiency.
- Sticking – A third sign you may need door replacement is the door becoming harder to open or close. If your doors frequently stick in their frames or won’t close completely, then we encourage you to give us a call. We can replace your old door with a new one that fits properly.
