Should the door be replaced with the door frame?

Exterior and interior doors are used daily. Therefore, after a few years, especially for those made of low-quality materials, they stop functioning properly. It is then necessary to replace them. Replacement of doors is associated with a general renovation in the house, and this includes the replacement of door frames. This is not necessary in every case. Nevertheless, when you notice that the condition of the door is deteriorating, you should consider investing in a new door.

What is an indication that the door needs to be replaced?

Daily use of the door, often not gentle, affects the life of the door. After prolonged use, we may notice that the door begins to creak or a draft forms around it. In the case of exterior doors, the most important things are safety and tightness (mainly in homes focused on energy efficiency). Adjustment of the door from the hinges and problems with closing expose the interior of the apartment to extreme external factors: both break-ins and cooling. Sometimes doors acquire visible mechanical defects over time. Cracks and pits are mainly visual aspects of the door, but if not maintained, they can lead to more serious damage.

When should the door frames be replaced?

New door frames are a more expensive investment than buying the door leaves themselves. However, replacing door frames is not a necessity. If you can’t afford to replace the frames for financial reasons, you can consider buying the door leaves themselves. This is a more difficult task. The sash must match the height and dimensions of the hinges and the parameters of the door frames. In such a situation, it is worth looking for the products of the company from which you bought the door. However, if this is impossible (because the door was bought by previous owners, is old, or the company in question is no longer on the market), it is worth relying on the opinion of a professional who will assist us in the search for the right product.

Door leaf without replacing door frames – is it worth buying?

Buying a door leaf without replacing the door frames is cheaper than replacing the door frames. However, it is important to realize that this will not be a fully satisfactory investment. Doors will function best as a set. Door frames are built specifically for a particular product for a reason. Buying a sash without a frame may involve a continuation of the leakage problem and incomplete interior protection.
