Common warning signs
Signs this service may be needed
Changes in normal movement, security or performance are worth checking before the problem becomes more disruptive.
Top corner rubs
This symptom can develop as a result of building settlement. Reviewing connected hardware helps identify the most practical repair.
Door swings open
Moisture changes can place extra strain on nearby components. Early attention may prevent the problem from becoming more disruptive.
Latch misses
Changes caused by previous poor adjustment can affect normal operation. We compare alignment, movement and component condition to pinpoint the fault.
Floor scraping
We check for hinge movement and any related wear to determine whether adjustment, repair or parts replacement is appropriate.
Weather seal gaps
This warning sign warrants checking building settlement. The service is then tailored to the condition of the installed components.

Components involved in door alignment
We assess the parts specific to this service together so the recommended repair addresses the cause, not only the visible symptom.
Why this problem happens
Everyday use, movement and exposure
Daily use gradually loosens hardware and wears contact points.
Building movement changes the clearances around doors and windows.
Moisture can swell timber and prevent smooth closing or latching.

Common causes
Hinge movement
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.
Building settlement
Movement in the building, frame, posts or surrounding ground can change clearances and stop the door alignment lining up, closing or locking correctly.
Moisture changes
Rain, condensation or seal failure can allow moisture into the assembly, creating staining, odours, misting or material deterioration.
Previous poor adjustment
Previous poor adjustment can change the way this particular door alignment moves, closes or performs and should be confirmed through an on-site inspection.
