Thanks for checking this out. I thought I was hearing things and I have visitors asking me why that particular door is "bad".
It's not the prettiest door by a long shot, probably 18 years old and yellowing a bit. The weather stripping needs to be replaced and it sticks sometimes, but I wouldn't consider it a truly "bad" door, just probably a little misunderstood.
Maybe the new Elk system, being guardian of the house, looked at that door and started passing judgment to try and get me to replace it (you know, the I'm Daddy's Favorite" syndrome). I can't tell you what the door thinks of the Elk M1G since it doesn't talk much, but I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
I'm worried that if the door keeps hearing that its "bad" might develop a psychosis, go insane and start slamming fingers, cats and feet between it and the door jamb. This of course, would deprive me, family and visitors of the use of the back yard. I could also see my homeowners insurance cost rising because of visitors getting slammed in the door. This could lead to lawsuits, hospital visits and degradation of the resale value of the house since I would have to disclose that I have a homicidal door and how it got that way.
If this happened to enough people who own the M1 and monitor their back door, it could result in a class action suit from all of the homeowners who have had family and friends beaten down by a "bad" door, with all that that entails :lol:
Let's hope that Elk fixes this word soon before thousands and perhaps millions of people are injured or killed by errant bad... errr Back doors.
