What state are the doors of your house in? Just imagine how many times they are opened and shut, sometimes not so gently. When a door swings on its hinges, they are subjected to shear forces that can be quite significant. To counteract this, there needs to be sufficiently long screws holding the hinges in place, and they need to be attached to a stable doorway. Installing a door is not a simple task, and not something that should be taken lightly. If your doors aren’t installed properly, the manufacturer's warranty might not cover them. The frame of the door needs to be square and plumb and firmly attached to the doorway. If all edges of the door aren’t finished, the door can absorb moisture, which in turn, will cause it to swell. This process could eventually lead to the door not fitting in the frame. It’s especially important to remember this if your door had to be cut to fit the frame, since the cut edges will easily absorb any moisture in the air.
