If
you're in need of door repair,
there are several common issues that you might be facing. Here are some steps
you can take to address different door repair needs:
1. Sticking or Jamming Doors:
- Check for obstructions along the door
frame or hinges.
- Tighten loose screws on the hinges.
- If the door is still sticking, you may
need to plane or sand the edges slightly.
2. Squeaky Hinges:
- Apply a lubricant, such as WD-40 or a
silicone-based lubricant, to the hinges.
- Open and close the door several times to
help the lubricant penetrate the hinge.
3. Drafts or Air Leaks:
- Inspect the weatherstripping around the
door.
- Replace or add weatherstripping to seal
any gaps.
- Consider using a draft stopper at the
bottom of the door.
4. Loose Doorknob or Handle:
- Tighten the screws on the doorknob or
handle.
- If the screws are stripped, you may need
to replace them or the entire hardware.
5. Broken Door Frame:
- If the frame is cracked or damaged, you
may need to repair or replace it.
- Use wood filler for minor cracks, or
replace the damaged section with a new piece of wood.
