  1. Does Your Wooden Sliding Door Working Properly?

  2. How to fix stuck door? Expert Guide • Doors may stick due to several reasons and it always trouble the people. Loose wooden sliding door fittings, swell wood in humid summer, etc. can make it happen. Whatever the cause behind your stuck wooden door, you need to find it to fix it. In this article, we bring proper guidelines to help you in such situations. Follow the guide and fix your stuck door by yourself (especially if you are on quarantine mode due to coronavirus, when nobody is there to provide expert assistance.)

  3. Method 1 – Address the problem 1) Examine the problematic door • Find scratches in the paint or any other damage to the frame and door. Also see if there is grime or any sticky buildup that requires cleaning. Close your door and check the gap between the door and the frame. At this point, you will better inspect exterior door in light. 2) Take a heavy stock paper and run around the closed door • This trick is helpful when you are unable to find where the door is sticking through eyes. By gliding the paper physically, you can find the area where it get stuck- that’s where the problem is. 3) Notice the sticking areas while opening and closing the door • You need to close the door with your hands on the side, bottom, and the top. By doing this, you will learn where there is maximum resistance when you close the door.

  4. 5) Notice the squeaking hinges • When the door hinges make sound, they are telling that they need your attention. Squeaking hinges can be the reason behind your stuck door. You can fix the sound by oiling the hinges. 6) Mark the dates you fix the door • If your door is sticking slightly, humidity can be the reason. In humid weather, wood expands with humidity levels- less humidity less expansion and vice versa. This is important point to note because a door that get stuck in summer may not stick during winter. You can wait for season change or sand the door if this is the reason.

  5. Method 2 – Finding Seasonal Sticking 1) Use bar soap to rub the problem area • You can use any bar soap on the problem area to lower the friction. This trick is helpful in closing the door smoothly. Make sure you use dry, moisturizer-free soap so that it will leave powdery substance on the door sides. This is just a temporary solution to the main issue and you may need to repeat this trick many times during humidity. 2) Fix the humidity • You can run your AC to remove excess moisture from the air. This will immensely lower the humidity level in your room. This is not a cost-effective solution but your wooden door will shrink in size as humidity level goes down. 3) Get a dehumidifier • The function of a dehumidifier is to remove the moisture from air. It simply intake the moist air and expel normal air back into the room. This is a portable option and works best when you have more stuck doors at your home.

  6. Method 3- Fastening the hinge screws and lubrication 1) Check the top and bottom of the stuck door when you close and open it • When the door sticks near the door or drags at the floor, the loose hinges are the main cause. 2) Fasten the screws using screwdriver • Never use the drill since it may leads to over-tightening of the screws. Use screwdriver to prevent any damage to the wood. 3) Test the door • You may not fix the hinges in the first attempt. You may need to lose the screw to reduce the gap between the frame and the door or vice- versa. 4) Lubricate the hinges • You can use some petroleum jelly into hinge joints as lubricant.
