Older wooden doors can become difficult to close when the hinges loosen, the hardware wears, or the door no longer fits evenly in the frame. Solid wood also moves with the seasons, swelling in humid weather and shrinking in winter, and an older door that has been painted many times may simply be too tight along one edge.
We look at how the door hangs before touching a plane. Tightening or replacing the hinges and shimming the hinge side corrects most sagging. If an edge still binds, we trim it and seal the bare wood so it doesn’t absorb moisture and swell again. A door that has warped, so it no longer sits flat against the stops, is harder to fix; we’ll tell you whether adjusting the stops and weatherstripping will work or whether the door has reached the end of its life.
Some front doors have multipoint locks that secure the door in several places. If the handle is difficult to lift or the lock won’t engage, the door may be out of alignment or the locking mechanism may need attention.
We can inspect the door and hardware to find out what’s causing the problem. Some multipoint locking systems require specific replacement parts. We can inspect the hardware and confirm the available repair options. Often the fix is adjusting the hinges or the keepers in the frame so the locking points meet them cleanly. Forcing a stiff handle can break the gearbox inside the door, so it’s worth having it checked early. For other locks and deadbolts, see lock repair & replacement Ottawa.
When a sliding patio door gets hard to open or won’t latch, the cause is usually at the bottom of the panel: worn rollers, a dented or dirty track, or rollers set at the wrong height so the panel no longer meets the latch. We clean and check the track, adjust or replace the rollers, and repair the handle and locking hook. Worn pile weatherstripping on the panel edges can be replaced at the same time. See patio door repair Ottawa.
Frame damage is a different problem from a door that needs adjusting. Moisture works into the lower jamb and threshold, where water collects, and the wood softens until hinge or strike screws no longer hold. A jamb can also split at the strike after a forced entry. We cut out damaged sections and fit new wood, replace thresholds that have rotted or come loose, and check that the door closes and locks properly afterward. See door frame repair Ottawa.
Locks that freeze or stiffen in winter usually have moisture inside; see frozen door lock Ottawa. For overhead garage doors, see garage door repair in Manotick. If a door is beyond repair, we can quote door installation Ottawa.
