    My front door is fecked. The locking mechanism is rusted and warped just beyond repair. I think it's a three point lockin system.

    Anyway it's a pine door not great quality,so I'm thinking of changing to PVC. Anyone know cost of installation ect. just a rough idea of what to expect.
    It will just be the door no panelling at the sides or anything?

    Also, could this be claimed on my house insurance?

    And if any one could PM me some good reputable company's in the south east I would appriciate it.

    You can get a high strength thermaly effiecent composite wood effect door for about 1000 euro these days.

    I had Profile Developments make a Georgian 6 panel composite door for me to suit my house.

    In relation to your question, can I claim on house insurance for such damage.
    For damage such as this that happens gradually over time, i.e. due to wear and tear.
    The insurance policy will specifically exclude damage of this nature to any part of your home.
    The only way damage to a door would be covered would be if something happened suddenly or unforeseenly for example, damage caused by a fire, malicious damage, or it the door was struck by a falling object.

    Hope this helps !!
