What to do when the door does not close?

Doors can stop functioning properly from one day to the next. The most common reason causing difficulties in opening and closing is the loosening of structural elements. Sometimes changes in the structure also cause minor damage. What are the most common causes of exterior and interior doors not closing?

Door hinges

First of all, it is worth checking whether the door leaf is properly hung on the hinges. Hinges can lower or twist out of the door frame, causing the door leaf to suddenly mismatch with the door frame. If this has happened, the hinges can be easily adjusted, thereby improving their fit with the door frame. Another cause of the door not closing is the lack of regular maintenance of the hinges – inattention can lead to weakening of the load-bearing force of the hinges and destabilization. If the door is new, the defect can also be due to improper installation – for this reason, it is recommended to use the services of proven manufacturers, whose offer includes transportation with installation.

Door handle and insert

Exterior doors may also fail to close due to a defective handle and cylinder mechanism. It is enough that the spring located in the insert falls out, and the door will involuntarily open. In such cases, replace the individual components of the mechanism or invest in new hardware.

Deformed door frame

Another problem can be the door frame. Over the years, the frame in exterior doors becomes deformed, and the door leaf does not adhere as before. This causes a number of problems, including leakage. Replacing the door frame is the most costly investment, so it is worthwhile to regularly check the condition of the door frames you have and, if possible, improve their condition on an ongoing basis. If the above reasons do not apply to your door problem, contact the professionals.
