Sliding doors onto a deck or dock are often the most-used doors at a lake property. As the rollers wear and grit builds up in the track, the door starts to drag, jump the track or stop short of the latch.
We clean and check the track, adjust or replace the rollers, and repair the latch and lock so the door slides and locks properly. Worn pile seals can be replaced at the same time. If the glass is fogged or cracked, we’ll explain the repair options.
Wood doors swell in humid weather and shrink when it’s cold, so a door that closed easily in August may bind by October. Forcing it can damage the edges and the frame.
We work out whether the door has swollen, the hinges have dropped or the frame has moved, then adjust the hinges and strike and ease only the edges that still bind. Planed edges are sealed so the bare wood doesn’t take on moisture.
If you arrive to open or close the property and the door won’t lock, the cause is usually alignment: the door or frame has moved slightly, so the deadbolt no longer lines up with the strike or the latch won’t catch. Sometimes the lock itself has stiffened.
We realign the door and strike, free and lubricate the lock if it’s still sound, and replace it if it’s worn out.
A property that sits empty for weeks depends on its doors and locks. Common weak points are entry doors with only a latch and no deadbolt, strike plates held by short screws, soft frames and sliding doors that can be lifted off the track.
We can fit deadbolts, reinforce strike plates with long screws into the framing, add secondary locks or anti-lift hardware to sliding doors, and repair weak frames so the lock has solid wood to hold.
Thresholds and the bottom of the jamb take the most water from rain and snow. If rot sets in, the strike and hinge screws stop holding. We cut out the damaged wood, fit new sections, rework the threshold so water runs away from the door, and fit new weatherstripping.
Chalets and rental properties see heavy use, especially in ski season, so handlesets loosen, hinges drop and seals wear faster. For owners and property managers, we can repair several doors on one visit: tightening or replacing hardware, adjusting doors that have dropped and replacing worn seals.
