Fiberglass door warp
Ok, after reading about all the goodness of fiberglass doors and how
they do not dent or warp, I bought a set of double doors. During our first winter, one of the doors warped - the top edge bends inwards leaving a gap for the cold wind to blow in. I want people to know that you will NOT get any support from a local company called Classic Openings. The old man was convinced there was something else wrong and was not helpful AT ALL. So I contacted Therma- Tru directly. They sent a professional to check the door and determined that it was indeed a defective door. 8 months later, Thermo-Tru sends a replacement door -- to Classic Openings. These people calls me up, tell me to take off my old door and go into the store to swap out with the new one. They actually suggested I put up a plastic cover. The original doors that I bought were delivered, however for this replacement I need to do all the work. Basically just want to let folks know: 1) fiberglass doors can warp 2) therma-tru was somewhat supportive 3) Classic Openings in Irving, TX has NO concept of customer support. You are on your own. |

Fiberglass door warp
I have one Thermo-Tru fiberglass door. No warpage but the glass is leaking.
I plan to change it out to a Pella door when I put in a sunroom so I haven't bothered complaining to Thermo=Tru. wrote in message ups.com...

It is to let people know fiberglass doors can warp despite all you read and hear from the salesman about how these doors are flawless. I can't speak of other manufacturers, but I know Therma-Tru figerglass doors can warp/bow. Also want to let folks know about the lack of support from Classic Openings, IF they are in this local area and are thinking of doing business with this company. |

Fiberglass door warp
The Stucco site is not a help forum, it's an *advertising* forum that invades real forums (like "alt.home.repair", part of "usenet") parasitically in order to generate free advertising for itself, which continually advances its search engine placement, thereby increasing its own revenue through its click- through advertising commissions. So the first thing you should do is write them an email and tell them to quit spamming. Then try to find your way here through proper channels. Please do a google search on "Usenet" and post the regular way. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..
