Sometimes the unexpected happens and there’s nothing you can do about it.
The best thing you can do when this happens is to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Security is something you can’t compromise on.
However, sometimes due to faulty fixtures, security can be compromised.
Break in entry door repair is very critical since it has to ensure the same thing won’t happen again.
If you’ve experienced the unfortunate, we at Barnett Repairs want to help you out.
Although we’re popularly known as a window replacement or home window repair company, we have also handled a great deal of door repairs and replacements.
We’ve listed down the weak points that could be compromised when burglars try to break in.
There are a few things you might be able to do to fix your door.
These, however, differ depending on the condition of your door.
If you aren’t too keen on handiwork, however, you might want to leave the repairs to the professionals.
Here are things you have to look for to make sure your door remains solid against break ins.
Make sure to watch out for dents and rots.
Dents and rots are very obvious indicators that your door might be compromised.
These things, however, are quite normal.
Due to an old door or harsh weather, the door tends to tear.
If a wooden door is not varnished properly, moisture might find its way into the small cracks in the wall which will cause it to rot.
It is important to get rid of the rot and treat the area by scraping it off, sanding it down, then finally, repainting the area.
The only problem with not getting professional help is you might not be able to get the whole area.
Parts of the door might be shrunken or swollen.
If this is the case, most likely moisture is finding its way into the wood and this can lead to really bad fitting.
Take out the door from its hinges, make sure to plane it, try to sand it down, dry it out, then finally repaint it.
Doing this isn’t for everyone.
If you find yourself needing a quick fix, give us a call and we’ll fix your swollen or shrunken door in only a matter of time.
For glass doors, check for condensation.
Double glazed back or front doors are usually designed with glass panels for light to get in.
Over time, the glass panel seals might start to perish and condensation would slowly start to form inside the glass layers.
Although double glazing usually lasts for a number of years without breaking, condensation slowly makes the door a little bit weaker.
Glass condensation makes the door more breakable.
Make sure to call for professional help.
When dealing with break ins, although a skilled DIY might be able to help, it is better to get professional help to make sure the door remains secure should break ins ever happen.
Add additional security to your home.
If your house has been compromised, call for help right away.
One thing about burglars is that they are unpredictable.
We’ve had clients come to us saying they’ve been hit twice before even getting a repair.
Door and home window repair are things you shouldn’t put off.
The longer your home remains unrepaired , the higher the risk of additional break ins.
