You can find door and lock bargains at most large home improvement stores. If the door is a stocked item, it will often be much cheaper; than a custom-made door. Doors are a focal point of your home; and by using these cost-saving techniques; you can maximize your door budget! 

And keep in mind that we are always here to help you with any of your doors.

Solid wood makes great exterior doors but in some conditions’ they are prone to warping. Wood expands and contracts with changes in temperature and air humidity’ which can lead to twisting, cracking and warping. If your door is located where it is exposed to the environment’ fluctuating temperatures or wetness, and you do not have the finances or time to replace it’ here is how to protect it from warping. 

Remove the Door . On a mild to warm day, remove the door from the door frame with the screwdriver; then remove the hinges from the door. Place it on a table or the floor. Rub or blow off any dust.

Bring the Door Back to Natural . If the door is painted, remove the paint with paint remover and heat gun. If the door is raw wood, smooth and fill any small cracks; then sand to remove any coating or varnish. 

Seal the Wood. Give the whole door a coat of polyurethane or sealant; including all edges. Wait to dry. The drying time for your particular sealant will be on the can. When the door is completely dry, give another coat; and repeat once more until the door has had three coats. No spots on the door must be missed, check that you have sealed the hinge areas; bottom and top of the door. If you want to repaint the door, wait till the sealant is fully dry then repaint. 

Re-attach the hinges and re-hang the door onto the frame. If the door sticks, you will have to adjust the door jam and sill; until the door hangs freely. If the door frame is wood, seal it as you did with the door. It is not much good if you seal the door and the frame expands and contracts with moisture, sticking the door.
