Common Door Problems & How We Solve Them
Doors come in all shapes and sizes, and they’re all subject to damage. It’s easy to notice when a door is pulled off its hinges or a door frame is coming away from the wall, but not all damage is this obvious. Hardware like hinges, deadbolts and knobs are all subject to wear, tear, corrosion and rust.
Swelling: Depending on the time of year, doors are up against the elements in an extreme way. Between fluctuating temperatures, high moisture rates, and snow. Excessive moisture leads to swelling, warping and even rot. Each of these will impact the structural integrity of your door. Door Gurus will address swelling with careful sanding, planing and adjustments to hinges, if necessary.
Broken Glass: Plenty of front doors, patios, and even internal doors feature glass panels. These panels add aesthetic appeal, but if they’re cracked or broken, it looks awful and poses a risk of injury. Door Gurus will take special care to replace and seal panes to match the door itself.
Damaged Hardware: Hinges are built to be durable, but they aren’t indestructible. Bent hinges or debris buildup in mechanisms can stop doors from closing properly. Experienced technicians will review the hardware, like hinges, looking for signs of rust, corrosion or loosening. Calling in professional Calgary door services early is the difference between a quick and easy fix and a full replacement.
Broken Frames & Door Jams: Doors and entryways are constantly in use. With people coming and going, walking in with their hands full and kids running around, door jams are always at risk of damage. This will leave doors sticking, putting pressure on frames and surrounding areas. Door Gurus provide expert assessments that will spot problem areas and offer up repair options.
Misaligned Doors: Sliding doors are a great way to conserve space at home, but when these doors come off the tracks, it’s a big headache. When this happens, it might not be as simple as popping the door back onto the track. Experts will review doors and the tracks for signs that they need to be cleaned or that rollers need to be replaced.
