Can I get a new door without replacing the frame?

Originally published

In many cases, it is possible to replace a door without replacing the frame. This is known as a door slab replacement. The door slab is the actual door itself, which can be removed and replaced with a new one while leaving the existing frame in place.

However, there are some situations where replacing the entire door unit (including the frame) may be necessary. For example, if the existing frame is damaged or warped, or if you want to change the size or shape of the door opening, a full replacement may be necessary.

If you're considering replacing your door, it's best to consult with a professional to determine the best option for your specific situation. They can evaluate the condition of your existing frame and advise you on whether a door slab replacement or full replacement is the best choice.
