Replacement Door. Back

[Tilly2]

We have an Everest fitted door which has been installed for over twelve years. It is now out of warranty. Over the last couple of years , this south facing door has become slightly warped and, as a consequence, this heavy rain we've been having is finding its way under the door and into the porch.

My question is, will it be possible to have just the door replaced or will the frame and adjoining window have to be replaced also?

[AuntPollyGrey]

I know its pathetic really lol!

[bednobs]

perhaps it's not the message but its delivery?

[AuntPollyGrey]

No is the person giving the message and you know that lol!.

[bednobs]

is it? why is that? (im seriously interested) why would someone take exception to you responding to a thread? If it's because you have a history of being antagonistic, i guess you cant really complain, if it's because the poster doesnt like you, or you dont like the poster, why rsepond anyway? It's easy to avoid people here for example i made a promise to myself a few year ago that i wouldn't respond to any threads posted by or on by a certain poster, because i don't like feeling like i'd like to mash someones head in and i have managed to do so :)

[AuntPollyGrey]

did you find my sensible and informative reply to your post on counselling of any use bednobs.? Was it antagonistic? Rude? I speak my mind how I would talk to someone face to face. some people take it how its meant others like to use it a weapon. Its out of my control. It doesn't bother me but I will point it out.

[bednobs]

yes, i did find it helpful and senitive, Thanks again. In the interets of full disclosure though when i was on earlier and saw your name as the latest reply to my post, i was somewhat anxious to open in lest i face a tirade

The one problem you have with getting local companies out to give free quotes .. is that is exactly what they will do. They will give you a quote to replace the door and frame.
They are not in the least interested in coming to assess the situation to see if it is repairable.. There is no money in doing a repair ..
My advice would be to find a recommended handyman and let them advise if a repair is an option.
Having personally attended far to many problems with doors and windows than I care to remember .. I can assure you there are a great many fixes that cant really be explained without seeing the problem.
Tilly .. I have been out to the same situation that you describe on more than one occasion .. the fault was a fairly simple one to rectify.
What had happened was the weather bar/drip on the lower edge of the door had come loose and slid along it's guide a few millimetres.
This actually stopped the door from closing without a great deal of force. Over time this would cause the door to warp.
Don't condemn it until someone other than a salesman has visited !

Bednobs I find that comment disheartening and suggest if you have the time or inclination that you go read my recent contributions on AB. As far as I can see there is not a 'tirade of abuse' in sight. You suggesting I would come on your thread about your recent bereavement to make disparaging remarks is actually very hurtful.

Meanwhile, my door needs attending to.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Then get someone out to look at it Tilly

[Tilly2]

I shall, now that some people have given me very good advice.

Lightening the mood, have you thought of gap insurance? :-)

[AuntPollyGrey]

You are welcome Tilly, considering I was the poster who suggested this in first place. lol!

[AuntPollyGrey]

Oh very good Douglas lol!

[Tilly2]

All sorted...blocked drainage holes at the bottom of the door frame door.
A bit of wire, wriggled about, did the trick. The cost...zero!

What a lovely man!

So, Tilly.................

Not a warped door then?

And you started all this trouble as well ^^^^^^ ;o))))))))

Glad to hear you're all fixed up.

[Tilly2]

The door isslightly warped, Mr B, but it looks worse than it actually is.

I didn't cause any trouble! None of that was down to me. ;-)
