door or even painted, re-stained, or cleaned it? If you notice any of the signs, it may be time for you to switch to a wrought iron door or replace it altogether.

Fighting With Your Door?

Are you wrestling with your front door to close or simply open it? This is an indication that your front door has become warped. Warping is a serious issue because it can make your door difficult to operate and will also result in gaps that can make it more accessible for critters and unwanted air to get inside.

Additionally, this issue can be reduced when choosing a different material for your door. For instance, iron front doors offer more durable stability in contrast to that of a wooden door that can warp as a result of the weather.

No Curb Appeal

In reality, all doors have their share of dings, dents, and scratches over time, but there is a point where cleaning and repainting will no longer be effective. You want the beauty of your home to match your front door. Not only that, but doors that look displeasing may have underline issues. Rust and rotting wood are significant signs that moisture has broken down the structure of your front door. This very fact can make your house more of a target for burglars.

Energy Conservation

Are the temperatures rising or falling? Does your home feel like an icebox or an oven, although you have adjusted the thermostat? An easy way to determine whether or not your door has air leaks is by lighting a candle or lighter around your door frame. If the flame is drawn toward the outside of your door, this is a sure sign of leakage.
