Cold weather and moisture can make locks difficult to operate. Water gets into the cylinder or latch, freezes overnight, and the key won’t turn. A lock de-icer will normally free it; don’t force the key, and avoid oil, which thickens in the cold. If the same lock keeps freezing, the cylinder may be worn or water may be getting in around it, and repairing or replacing it is the longer-term fix. Our frozen door lock page has more detail.
Winter also exposes alignment problems. A door that closes easily in summer can start to bind or miss the latch once the wood shrinks and the weatherstripping stiffens.
Water damage, worn seals and loose frames make exterior doors hard to close and let drafts inside. The bottom of the jamb usually goes first, softening where water sits at the sill. We cut out the damaged wood, fit new wood and check that the door closes and locks properly afterward; see door frame repair. Seals that have compressed or torn are replaced through our weatherstripping service, along with the door sweep if it’s worn.
If your commercial entrance is slamming, dragging, or failing to latch, the closer, hinges, or alignment may need attention. We inspect the door and its hardware before recommending repairs.
A door closer controls how fast the door swings and how firmly it latches. Most closers have adjustment valves for the closing and latching speed, and some slamming or drifting doors only need adjusting. A closer that leaks oil or no longer controls the door has to be replaced. Heavy commercial doors also wear out their hinges, which lets the door sag until it drags on the threshold or catches the frame. On storefront entrances, we also see worn pivots, loose door pulls, and latches and exit devices that no longer catch.
For more on this work, see commercial door repair. For aluminum-and-glass entrances, see aluminum storefront doors.
The most common calls from Pembroke homes are sagging doors, latches that don’t catch, stiff deadbolts and patio doors that drag.
When a sliding door drags or jumps the track, worn rollers or a damaged track are the usual causes. We clean the track, adjust or replace the rollers and check the lock and handle. See patio door roller replacement for roller work, or sliding door repair for track, handle and lock problems. Our patio door repair page covers the full service.
If a deadbolt only turns when you push or pull the door, the bolt is rubbing on the strike, and adjusting or moving the strike will fix it in most cases. A lock that’s stiff even with the door open is worn inside and needs repair or replacement.
A sagging door has usually loosened at the top hinge. New hinges, or longer screws into the framing, will often pull it back into position. If the jamb has split or softened, the frame needs repairing as well.
We also serve nearby Cobden and Petawawa.
