When you open a door, it\u2019s something you don\u2019t necessarily think\nabout too much. However, if a door isn\u2019t working like it\u2019s supposed to, this\ncan become very frustrating. It\u2019s important to understand that doors can affected\nby changes in temperature, leaving them with sticky edges which makes it harder\nto pull open. There are also instances of sagging doors, which can prevent the\ndoor from closing altogether. Learn about these signs to look for when you need\na door repair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sticky Doors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you attempted to open a \u201csticky\u201d door? When we say\nsticky, this means that the door is clinging to the frame. This can be a\nproblem, or rather an annoyance, to people entering or exiting. To fix any\nunwanted friction, it\u2019s recommended to sand down the area of the door that\u2019s\nmost sticky. When sanding is completed, the next step is to seal it with\nvarnish. The varnish adds a layer of protection from moisture and other\nelements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sagging Doors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another sign your door might need a repair is when it begins\nto sag. Some reasons for \u201csagging\u201d include the door\u2019s own weight pulling it down\nor if the hinges become too loose. Typically, hinges are to blame, but they are\nalso an easy fix. Hunker<\/a>\nsuggests \u201ccheck for loose hinges by opening the door a few inches, then grip\nthe latch-side edge of the door and lift up. If you feel space in the door, one\nor more hinges are loose.\u201d All it takes is to tighten the loose screws with a\nscrewdriver!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drafty Doors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For homeowners that live in colder climates, drafty doors can\nbe rather unpleasant. They are not energy efficient and can run up heating bills\nrather quickly. To save time and money on insulating your door, opt for weather\nstripping. This insulation tactic can improve the comfort of your home and\nprovide consistent warmth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
