When an older front door starts to stick, the instinct is to plane it. That often makes things worse, because the real cause is usually a loose hinge or a frame that has shifted. We fix the hinges and alignment first and only trim the door if it still binds, sealing any bare wood afterward.
Older front doors usually develop problems gradually: the hinges loosen, the door drops toward the latch side, and it starts to rub the frame or miss the strike. Wood doors also swell in humid weather, and frames can move as a house settles.
We start with the hinges and the frame, not the plane. Worn hinges are replaced, stripped screw holes are repaired, longer screws are fitted into the framing, and the hinge side is shimmed so the gaps are even. If an edge still binds after that, we trim it and seal the bare wood. Original hardware that still works can often be cleaned and adjusted rather than replaced.

Many older homes have solid wood entry doors that are worth keeping. When one sticks, sags or won’t latch, the cause is usually mechanical: worn hinges, a strike that no longer lines up, or a frame that has shifted slightly.
We check how the door hangs, correct the hinges and alignment, and adjust or move the strike so the latch and deadbolt engage cleanly. Where the jamb has split or softened at the base, we repair that section with new wood before resetting the door.
A door that closes easily in summer and then binds or won’t lock in January has usually moved slightly as the wood dried out and the seals stiffened. Adjusting the hinges and strike, and replacing worn weatherstripping, usually fixes it. If a lock freezes, use a de-icer rather than forcing the key.
For businesses, we repair entrance doors with closers that slam or don’t latch, worn hinges, sticking locks and storefront hardware that no longer catches. Many closers only need adjusting; one that leaks oil needs replacing. We inspect the door and hardware before recommending adjustments or replacement parts.
