Guelph Steel Entry Door Repair

For most interior applications, the doors and frames may be produced with cold rolled steel without any additional protective or sacrificial coatings such as zinc used in galvanized steel.  A good application of prime paint to both sides of the frame with a top coat of paint to the outside of the frame would provide years of adequate service in interior openings.  Consider for example the absence of corrosion on the interior frames or entry doors found in most schools.

For interior applications where moisture may be present, e.g. wet labs, locker rooms, areas requiring high moisture levels or frequent cleaning, then steel with coatings should be used.  Galvanized steel is common.  These steels are especially formulated to resist corrosion and further processed to enhance paint application and finished appearance.

For exterior applications, e.g. entry doors, man doors, pedestrian doors, alley way doors, doors & frames manufactured from galvanized steel should be used.  These materials are well suited for these environments.  Unfortunately, it cannot be assumed that these were the materials used when the door and frame system were originally installed.  It is possible that cold rolled steel frames or doors were used and so the system is going to degrade more quickly than one made from the corrosion resistant grades of steel. 

A customer has three options available once rust is noted.

• Do nothing – simply allow the system to corrode and fail.
• Remove and replace the door and frame system – the option most frequently chosen, also the costly one.
• “Repair” the jambs –plastic body filler, is the most often used material.  Unfortunately, this is an aesthetic repair only.  The rust will come back because it’s inside the frame not outside.
