Steel doors are prime real estate for public enemy #1: rust.
When unchecked, those little brown specks devour door integrity faster than you can say ‘hollow metal and steel doors.’ And, mind you, that takes a good minute.
But have no fear, defending your hollow metal and steel doors from rust is as easy as pie— if you know when to act.
If you catch corrosion early and treat it as soon as you can— rust will be in a ‘no biggie’ category.
But if you take your time and let it spread? Restoring steel doors can get really ugly, really fast. We’re talking expensive door repair to even more expensive full door replacement.
The good news is… that all of this is preventable at the low cost of acting as quickly as you can.
Here’s how to prevent your steel door from turning into a steel nightmare:
Yearly Inspections
Check those doors, your hollow metal door frames, knobs, hinges… basically any hardware you can lay your eyes upon. Any rust spots? No? Then you can sleep soundly tonight.
But if your answer’s a yes— we’ll tell you right now. Waiting is how specks go into ginormous problems. Go call your local door technician!
