It’s no secret that doors of all types over time will start to exhibit signs of damage and deterioration. Similar to other elements of a property, there is a timeframe of wear and tear, and this can be caused by different things.
Your front and back doors face the harsh elements of the Malaysian weather, from the beaming hot sun to tropical thunderstorms. The weather can cause cracks in the door that will grow the longer it is ignored, and paint will also start to chip away. Then there is the damage caused by termites, leaving your doors damaged from the inside out.
If your door is showing signs of damage, it is then time to look into getting it fixed. The longer the problem is not attended to, the worse it will get. If the door is deemed damaged beyond repair, then the only option is to get a new door installed. This is a rather expensive solution. Repairing a door is much easier, faster and more affordable.
