Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my door stick only in the summer?
Wood absorbs moisture and expands in humid summer months, causing it to rub against the frame. We adjust the clearance to account for this seasonal expansion so your door works year-round.
Do you sand or plane the door?
If hinge adjustment isn't enough, we may carefully plane (shave) a small amount of wood from the binding edge. We then seal the exposed wood to prevent future moisture absorption.
Will this fix my lock alignment?
Yes. A misaligned door often causes the deadbolt to jam. By realigning the door slab within the frame, we naturally correct the lock position for smooth turning.
Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Weathered doors often stick due to the wood swelling from humidity or the house settling over time. Simply forcing the door can damage the lock mechanism or crack the jamb. Our Weathered Door Alignment assessment determines if the door needs structural planing, hinge shimming, or frame squaring to ensure it opens and closes freely in all seasons.
