What are the common problems with french doors
You can expect your home’s doors to suffer some wear and tear over the years. In general, you should expect about ten to 12 years of use. Problems will start to arise then. It’s an approximate length of time and very dependant on fitting and material quality.
A multipoint lock is the main locking element. It runs the full length of the door. On lifting the handle, it holds the doors secure. The quality of these varies and of the ones fitted with Fuhr for me stands out as the best.
Sometimes when it’s hot or the hinges are worn, the doors will start touching when closing. This misalignment of the door and frame causes this. This can make it difficult to open and close the door.
If you encounter any of these issues – don’t panic. While you may think you need to replace the whole door, this is not the case. A good door service resolves the problem more often than not. A service we provide- just call for a quote.
