Why the problem happens

Common causes

Building movement

Movement in the building, frame, posts or surrounding ground can change clearances and stop the residential door lining up, closing or locking correctly.

Worn hinges

Hinges carry the moving weight of the system. Wear, loose fixings or bending can allow the panel or gate to drop and move out of alignment.

Moisture-swollen timber

Timber can absorb moisture and expand, reducing frame clearance and making the door rub or stop latching. We check fit and material condition before adjustment.

Loose hardware

We check for loose hardware when assessing the residential door. The condition of the supporting structure and connected hardware helps determine the repair.
