Good Quality Woods
Good quality wood doors come from good quality woods in certain. Before we decide to choose one particular door, it is better to check the quality of the woods, not only the wood type. For example, we find a beautifully carved door, and it is made from teak wood that is famous for its durability. Before we decide to buy it, it is better to check it first, check whether it is broken, rotten, or has a crack in someplace. We can touch the door surface, feel it with our hand and check it for any flaws. We can ask the seller about the origin of the wood and also about the age of the wood to make sure that the wood is old enough to cut. Young age woods are not so good for door material because they lack hardness, break easily, and are not so weatherproof.
Good Quality Paint
To keep the door in good condition, it needs paint to protect it from the weather or termite. We should check whether the doors are made from good quality paint or low-grade paint. Good quality paint will protect the wooden fibers from termite and weather exposure, so it is prolonged wood durability. Besides that, paint not only protects but it also makes the door beautiful through its color. We could choose vibrant wood doors color to make them more beautiful and attractive. The wooden doors should use particular wood paint to guarantee their quality because this kind of paint will stick to the woods well.
Good Quality Door Handle And Hinge
If we have already found the perfect door for our house and want to put it in immediately, we should check for the handle and hinge. There are various door handle choices that we can find in the store, and it is also made from various materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and even iron. Stainless steel handle could be used for almost wood door types because it is light, anti-rust, and also durable. For the door hinge, check whether it works properly or not. If possible, try it first and when it does not work, replace it with the new one. Good quality door handle and hinge will improve the door’s function and prolong its durability.
Warranty From The Seller
To ensure that we buy good quality wood doors, we need a warranty from the seller. Before we make a purchase, just ask for the warranty from the seller. This warranty should be about door replacement if it is broken in a limited time, spare part replacement (door handle and hinge), and installation and services. When the seller does not give us any warranty to us, it is better to cancel the purchase to minimize our loss if the door really breaks in the future.
Choosing good quality wood doors needs accuracy so we can get good and perfect for our pretty house. If we do not have enough knowledge about the door, we ask someone else to pick and buy good quality doors. We also could learn about wooden doors through consultation with some expert or online before we make a transaction with the seller. The most important thing is always to choose good quality material for our door, so it will last longer for years in our house.
