When we moved in, the front door wouldn't open all the way; it drug the floor at about 70 degrees from full open. Enough to squeeze by it, and you could force it all the way open, but it was rubbing the floor pretty good. I figured this was an easy fix and didn't pay too much attention to it. A few weeks after living there, I realized that the reason the door was dragging was because the door was not plumb. The top of the jamb was leaning into the house, so as you opened the door, the knob side of the door swung downward as well. I devoted some time to remedy that situation and quickly realized my next hurdle. Now that the door was plumb and would swing all the way open, I also realized that the bottom seal/weatherstripping was missing from the door.

The "new" hardwood floors (installed prior to purchase) were great, but the person that installed them failed to realize that the thickness of the flooring would impede the ability of the entry door to seal properly. aluminium sliding doors sale johannesburgLow and behold, the reason is because the threshold is lower than the floor height. garage door strut placementSo for two very cold winters we have had a large gap under our front door. sliding barn door lowesWe plug it with draft stoppers, towels, etc., but it still lets in a ton of cold air. blue front door notting hill

The first is because they regularly go on sale for $119. Second because I think it is a better built door. The doors are made by Midwest Manufacturing, who has a door comparison here. I assume competitor H and competitor L refer to Home Depot and Lowes, but that's only an assumption.

I do have experience with the Reliabilt brand door from Lowes, and my opinion is that this Menards/Midwest MFG door feels like a better built, heavier duty door.See The Current Menards Weekly Ad Up to 80% Off 2,300+ Clearance Items Save Up to 77% for Lighting & Ceiling Fans Save Up to 75% Off Storage & Organization Shop 19,000+ Bargain Bin Collection Items Save Up to 50% Off Appliances Up to 75% Off Heating & Cooling Products Save Up to 85% for Plumbing Products Save up to 50% Off Hunting Equipment Save Time & Money with the 'Buy Online & Pick Up in Store' Option from Menards Shop the Save Big Money Center Menards Big Card: 2% Rebate on All Purchases or Up to 48 Months Financing Landscaping Projects From the Design-It Center Menards Gift Cards Starting from $10 Up To 50% Off Painting Tools Menard's Sweepstakes: Win a Free Vehicle Shop Window Treatments Starting at $15.55 Set Up Your Gift Registry Today
