Wood Door Problems We Repair
Sticking and binding
Often hinges or a frame out of square rather than the door.
Sagging
Hinges or screws too light for the weight, or loose in the jamb.
Splits and open joints
Glued, clamped and refinished.
Rot at the bottom rail
Cut out and replaced with matching wood where the rest of the door is sound.
Repair or Replace: How We Decide
If the stiles and rails are sound and the rot is local, repair usually wins. If the door has warped across its width or rot runs up the stiles, a new door is better value; see custom front doors.
Stopping the Problem Coming Back
Most repairs trace to water and unsealed edges. Every repair is finished by sealing the bottom and top edges and checking the threshold drains.
