Fixing Drafts: When to Replace Your Entry Door

Learn how gaps, warping, and failed weather-stripping hurt efficiency—and how a proper install seals it for good.

Recognizing Drafts

Feeling cold air near the edges of your door? That’s a sign the seal has failed. Drafts lead to higher energy bills and lower indoor comfort.

Five Boroughs Door Solutions’ Approach: We inspect seals, thresholds, and weather-stripping to locate leaks and recommend effective repairs or replacements.

Warped or Swollen Doors

Moisture and temperature changes can cause your entry door to warp or swell, preventing it from closing tightly and reducing security.

Five Boroughs Door Solutions’ Approach: We realign or replace warped doors and frames to restore a snug, secure fit.

Failed Weather-Stripping

Cracked or missing weather-stripping lets conditioned air escape and outdoor elements sneak in, undermining efficiency.

Five Boroughs Door Solutions’ Approach: We install high-quality, long-lasting weather-stripping to ensure a tight seal around your entry door.

Improper Installation

A poorly installed door can leave gaps and misalignments that defeat even the best materials.

Five Boroughs Door Solutions’ Approach: Our experts ensure your door is plumb, level, and square—eliminating leaks and ensuring smooth operation.

Outdated or Inefficient Doors

Older doors may lack insulation or security features, making them less efficient and more vulnerable.

Five Boroughs Door Solutions’ Approach: We upgrade outdated doors to modern, energy-efficient models that improve comfort and security.
