How to fix wooden entrance door with rotten bottom?

[hesamshimi]

Hello

The below part of the entrance door is getting rotten, as in the pic. Any idea how to fix it? Is there any kinda guard I can attach to that part?

Cheers

Hi @hesamshimi 

The only guard you need is to take the door off its hinges  sand the rough paint edges off  undercoat the door twice and paint it twice.

Typically  builders/painters never paint the tops of doors and the bottoms as it is out of sight  and out of mind until is starts being water effected and noticed by owner

Hi @hesamshimi,

I believe @Jewelleryrescue has hit the nail on the head there. This is a common issue when doors are not painted on the bottom edge. As mentioned, I'd suggest removing the door, sanding the damaged area and then filling and sanding again to establish a square bottom edge. Undercoat and topcoat to finish off and re-install. It would be best to paint the whole door for consistency.

Regarding the guard question, you could install a door weather seal, but that would just mask the issue, which would continue to get worse. Nothing wrong with completing the above and then adding a weather seal, though. Could be a good idea if your sanding and filling job are noticeable.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
