On older homes, doors often bind or stop latching because the frame has moved slightly over the years or the hinges have worn. Wood doors also swell in humid weather. We check the hinges, frame and strike before deciding what to adjust, and plane the door only if it still binds after it has been re-hung.
If the bottom of the jamb or the threshold has softened from moisture, we cut out the damaged section and fit new wood.
Common problems on newer and rental properties include loose handlesets, worn deadbolts, latches that miss the strike, and weatherstripping that has compressed. We repair or replace the hardware and adjust the door so it closes and locks reliably.
If a strike plate is only held by short screws into the jamb, we can fit longer screws into the framing behind it, which makes the door harder to force.
Cold weather tends to show up problems that were already there. A door that was slightly out of line may bind or miss the latch once the wood shrinks and the seals stiffen, and we correct that by adjusting the hinges and strike.
Locks that freeze usually have moisture inside the cylinder. Don’t force the key; a de-icer will normally free it. If the same lock keeps freezing or stays stiff once it thaws, the cylinder may be worn, and we can service or replace it.
A sliding door that’s hard to move usually has worn rollers or a dirty or dented track. Most rollers can be raised or lowered with an adjustment screw; worn ones are replaced with parts that suit the door. We also fix handles and locks that no longer catch, and can discuss options for cracked or fogged glass.
