At Palmer-Donavin, we take great pride in our door systems. We also know door installation and troubleshooting can be complex. If you are experiencing issues with your Palmer-Donavin Therma-Tru door, please view the troubleshooting videos below that can help guide you to determine the proper solution.

Door Unit Operation Problems

A door may appear warped if the top of the door is pulling or pushing in another direction as the bottom. In this video, we walk you through the steps to determine if the door was installed incorrectly or if the door is truly warped. We also help you troubleshoot a door unit experiencing rubbing against the frame.

Door Unit Is Leaking

When a homeowner sees water on the floor near the door, we want to confirm where the water is infiltrating. A door can leak at the top of the head-jamb and ultimately find its way to the subfloor that the door rests upon. A door can also potentially leak above or below the sill. Watch this video as we go through each step to ensure proper installation and then a proper water test.
