Hinged Door Repairs |
Wooden hinged doors can warp, particularly in humid climates or in areas where the air's moisture content varies. Warped doors stick, making them difficult to open and close. In addition to encountering moisture-related problems, doors can suffer from continual use, which may eventually cause them to loosen, bind, or stick.
When these problems occur, the latch or lock may not catch as well as it should. Correcting these problems is usually fairly simple, but a door that's badly warped will need to be replaced.
A door that binds or sticks may be sagging on its hinges or it simply may have a buildup of paint or dirt that keeps it from opening or closing easily. Tightening hinge screws or shaving off any paint buildup usually solves the problem. Seal wood doors to prevent moisture from compromising the integrity of the wood.
If a loose door doesn't latch properly, tighten its hinge screws. Then try adjusting the strike plate by loosening its screws and shifting it slightly.
