– A true story that can save you from future loss.
We all try to save money when building or renovating our home. I also thought the same. But one decision — buying a cheap door — became the costliest mistake of my entire home project. This is my real experience of what went wrong, what I learned and how you can avoid this mistake.
🧱 What Happened After Installation?
Just 2 months later, I noticed the door bottom was getting tight.
It became hard to close. I thought it was just because of the rainy season.
But the real problem was something else — the wood had started swelling.
I later came to know that the door was made from unseasoned wood.
This means the wood had moisture inside and during the rainy season, it expanded.
🐛 Termites Attacked My Door
After 4 months, small holes started appearing on the door.
When I tapped on it, the door sounded hollow.
I called a carpenter.
He said, “Sir, termites have entered. This wood was not treated properly.”
The cheap door had no protection against termites and now the damage had started.
🔧 Repair Cost More Than the Door
First, I tried to fix the door.
Termite treatment, new laminate, fixing the frame – all added up.
After 2 months, the damage returned.
I finally had to remove the door and buy a new one.
In total, I spent double the amount I would have spent on a premium door.
📌 What I Learned (And You Should Too)
I want to share some points that will help you avoid this kind of mistake:
✅ 1. Always Choose Seasoned Wood
Unseasoned wood has moisture inside. It swells, bends and cracks easily.
Ask for moisture-tested or kiln-dried wood only.
✅ 2. Make Sure It’s Termite-Proof
Treated wood lasts longer.
Cheap doors usually skip this treatment.
Termites can silently destroy your door.
✅ 3. Check the Quality, Not Just Design
Just because a door looks good doesn’t mean it is strong inside.
Check the inner core material, lamination quality and frame.
✅ 4. Avoid “Too Good to Be True” Offers
If a price sounds too low, there is always a reason.
Many sellers reduce quality to show low prices.
✅ 5. Cheap Now = Expensive Later
Repairs, replacements, inconvenience — all cost money and peace.
Buy once, buy right.
