On a couple of new houses we built the 1 3/8"x 3'x8' entry doors that are *fiberglass* are bowed badly on the latch side (one worse than the other). The first year they were fine but now one has about 3/8"-1/2" gap at the top/bottom. As our weather is cold (-20C and below) frosts builds up around from inside and outside. As a temporary solution I have tried to add more weather strip around since the supplier we have been working with for years is dragging its feet to back up warranty. Short of dishing out $2k+ for two new doors is there any way to reduce the amount of bow in them?
I thought about clamping a straight 2x6 with some spacer in the middle for some time and trying to reverse the bow, perhaps using a heat gun along the door to soften/flex it back a bit? I highly doubt this would help in the longer run...
Any advice/suggestions is appreciated.
