Common Door Issues I fix in New Bern NC
#1-Your door wont close or sticks shut.
This issue is caused by a house settling over time. Settling happens in every home to one degree or another. when this happens it can put pressure on door frames keeping the door from closing properly.
Usually the door is binding at the top or bottom with settling since one side of the door frame settles more than the other.
If the door binds on the latch side of the door , that could be caused by loose hinge screws (usually on the top hinge). Regardless of why your door won't close properly, it's usually a straightforward repair.
#2- Your door won't latch
This can be caused by either worn-out door hardware or settling in the home.When one side of the door frame settles more then the other on a swing door, the latching mechanism wont line up with the striker plate. This is a pretty common fix.

#3- Hard to slide patio door
Worn-out rollers usually cause this issue. Door hardware is only designed to last a certain number of cycles and will break down with heavy use. Replacing the rollers is the only course of action here and requires you to remove the door, flip it on it's side, and remove the rollers from underneath.
Doors that are difficult to slide can also be caused by a worn track, or dirt buildup on the track. The rollers being out of adjustment can cause the door to bind.
The good news is that rollers can be replaced
, or your door can be adjusted to operate smoothly again.
