When to Replace Entry Doors

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Homes are built to withstand a lot of wear and tear, and your entry door should be the same way. However, entry doors are a part of the house that you use every single day, and sometimes multiple times a day. Whether they are being slammed shut, set ajar, or simply opened and closed, entry doors sustain a lot of weight and force each time you enter or exit your home.

For this reason, it is a useful skill to know how to replace entry doors. Because new exterior doors can be installed easily, this task is definitely one a homeowner can pull off without the help of a professional. However, before you learn how to replace entry doors, it is a useful skill to learn to recognize when your old one needs to be taken out. Learn how to do both of those things in a few easy steps.

Examining your entry door

Before deciding to replace entry doors, make sure you won t be able to keep your old one after a little maintenance or repair. Check the weatherstripping, door jambs and position of the door to see if anything is out of place. It may just require a quick fix like lubricating or adjusting the hinges or resetting the threshold. However, if you are having trouble closing and locking your door and you can t fix it with a minor adjustment, it may be time to replace it.

If you find yourself moving on to the next step, you should allot yourself ample time to shop for a new door (which involves researching the type and style of door you want) and to take measurements for your rough opening.

Removing the door

Before you replace entry doors, you have to remove the old ones. This part isn t always covered in the do-it-yourself instructions included in door replacements and can be a little tricky if you are doing it for the first time. In short, you have to carefully remove the trim so that it can be replaced and take off the old door jamb. You will have to use a jigsaw to cut through the nails holding the jamb in place and make sure there are no metal or electrical components located in the wall near the door frame.

Replacing the door

The last part is the actual installation. When you replace entry doors, you can usually purchase the frame and door together as a unit so that all you have to do is put it in place. This will require a few tools, like a handsaw, circular saw, building paper, electric drill and caulk. You will also need another person to help you lift the door. If your siding is in good condition, you can replace entry doors in a day or two.
