Determining whether to repair or replace a door depends on the severity of the existing issues and the door's overall condition: Repair: Minor cosmetic damages, slight warping, or hardware issues like broken handles or faulty locks can often be repaired without replacing the entire door. Replace: If the door has structural issues, significant warping, rotting, persistent drafts, or doesn't fit securely in its frame anymore, it's likely time for a replacement. Additionally, upgrading for energy efficiency, security enhancements, or modern aesthetics might warrant a new door. Always consult with a door installation professional to assess the door's condition and get a recommendation.
The choice between a pre-hung door and a slab door largely depends on your specific needs and the condition of your existing door frame: Pre-Hung Door: This comes with its frame, hinges, and often pre-drilled holes for handles and locks. They are ideal for new constructions or situations where the existing frame is damaged or not square. While typically more expensive, they can save time and ensure a proper fit. Slab Door: This is just the door itself. It's suitable for replacements where the existing frame is in good condition and square. It requires more skill in fitting as it needs to be accurately aligned with the existing frame and might need drilling for hardware.
The installation time for a new door varies based on several factors: Type of Door: A pre-hung door might take longer to install than a slab door if it involves removing and replacing the existing frame. However, if the opening is already prepared and square, the process can be quicker. Site Conditions: If adjustments are needed to the door opening or if there are complications like uneven flooring, the process can take longer. Experience: A skilled installer can fit a door more quickly than someone less experienced. On average, fitting a standard interior door might take 2-4 hours, while an exterior door can take 4-6 hours or more, depending on the complexity and any additional tasks like installing sidelights or transoms. It's essential to remember that while speed is crucial, ensuring a proper and secure fit is more important for the door's functionality and longevity.
