Good to Know
> 🔧 **Check hinges first** - a loose top hinge drops the door, making it stick at the bottom. Tightening the hinge (or packing it out) often fixes the problem without any planing. **Seasonal sticking:** - Doors swell in humid weather - May stick in summer, free in winter - Fix to worst case - Dehumidifier helps **Causes of sticking:** - Wood swelling - Dropped hinges - House movement - Paint build-up
Frequently Asked Questions about Sticking door repair in Exmouth
Why do doors start sticking?
Several reasons - humidity swells wood, house movement shifts frames, hinges drop, or paint builds up over layers. Often a combination of factors over time.
Will you have to take the door off?
Usually yes - it's easier to plane accurately with the door off. But for minor hinge adjustments, sometimes we can fix it while hung.
How much do you take off?
Only as much as needed - usually just a few millimetres. We check clearance while fitting and stop when it opens freely without excessive gaps.
Will I need to repaint where you plane?
Yes - planing removes paint and exposes bare wood. The planed edge needs priming and painting to match. We can arrange painting or you can do it yourself.
