The door closes by itself, what should I do? -

Sometimes the door opens on its own. What to do in such a situation? Spontaneous opening of the door is most often associated with poor installation of the door frame. This interior door begins to hit the wall and may hit the stopper. The result is rapid wear. This may be a sign of sagging interior door, and such a deficiency can be corrected.

The main reason for breakage and misalignment of doors is broken or incorrectly installed hinges.

First of all, the hinges may be the reason for the opening. Poor installation of the hinges causes distortions and the door begins to open with difficulty.

One reason may be that one half of the loop is loose. If the box is installed level, the hinges have been marked, but the canvas still deviates from the vertical, it means that defective hinges were installed. They need to be replaced.

Another reason could be poorly made grooves for the hinges. For example, one edge is recessed more than the other. This deficiency is easy to correct. It is necessary to remove all excess in the groove, place material of the required thickness under the depressions.

Another reason could be screws that were screwed crookedly into the loop. They pull the loop in the opposite direction. To correct the situation, you need to re-drill the holes.

Unpredictable door behavior

In addition to poor opening and closing, there is another drawback that it is advisable to eliminate in time. In some apartments, owners prefer to keep the door half open, especially at night, for example, in order to hear a small child sleeping. In this case, it is desirable that no light from the next room enters the nursery, and that the sounds are somewhat muffled by the half-closed door. An incorrectly adjusted door will not lock in this position and will tend to either open or close on its own, making creaking and rattling noises.

Execution of work

Workers who carried out repairs in the apartment must adjust them when installing doors. However, there are cases when doors become deformed over time and the geometry of the walls changes. This is especially true for new houses. In these cases, the doors again begin to require additional adjustment. You can try to do this yourself. The work shown in the video looks easy, like any task performed by a master. It is not difficult to adjust the work yourself if you have tools and some skill.

Adjustment instructions

In case of problems, follow the following instructions:

Identify the location and cause of the problem. The adjustment will be made with the tools that need to be used for a particular part. These can be hinges, the door frame itself, the door leaf or a lock with or without a latch.
When opening the sash, be sure to check it for verticality. To do this, use a plumb line.
Any malfunction is eliminated by preparing all the necessary tools for work.
In case of problems, you should make the place for the adjustable hinges accessible, since sometimes it is necessary to remove the canvas.
When the box is skewed relative to the wall, it is necessary to align not only the diagonal, but also the vertical. In this case, it may be necessary to completely replace all connection elements that may fail due to poor fastening of the sash.
Corrections are carried out using the tools necessary for installation, everything is carefully checked for evenness with a building level.
Then the canvas is installed in the right place and the evenness of the wall relative to the joints is again checked. The door is opened and closed several times to check its functionality.

Poor opening

In order not to fall into the position of engineer Shchukin on the staircase, when “there was only one thing left for him to do - disappear,” all apartment doors should not only open easily, but also close at the right moment. This also applies to interior doors; if they close at the wrong moment, they can cause unpleasant consequences in the form of injuries and partial hearing loss.

How to adjust if the door closes by itself is shown in the photo. To do this you will need a screwdriver and self-tapping screws. The causes of a defect in which the door constantly strives to close on its own or requires the application of certain efforts to open it can be:

Loose door frame - the disadvantage is eliminated by tightening loosely screwed screws, which leads to stretching of the frame. In the most drastic case, the box is removed and the entire box is adjusted with self-tapping screws;
Excessive deepening of hinges - eliminated by loosening the fasteners;
Incorrect installation of hinges can be corrected by moving the hinges inward and adjusting the fasteners.

Anyone can adjust the hinge of an interior door so that it does not close using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws.

Poor closing

Poor or loose closing of interior doors can be caused by the following factors:

The skew of the door frame is due to improper connection of the beams. Eliminated by more tightly fastening all components of the box using screws. To do this, the box must first be dismantled;
Insufficient deepening of the hinges into the box is eliminated by tightening the screws securing the hinges. If this does not help, you need to remove the box and deepen the niches for the hinges;
Excessive deepening of the hinges in the door can be solved by loosening their fasteners.

This work is simple, but it requires certain skills in handling a screwdriver for tightening screws, a plumb line for determining the verticality of the surface, a hammer, a chisel and a plane for deepening the niches of the hinges. The video shows in detail how to adjust an interior door with hinges.

How to stop a door from closing on its own

You can adjust the interior structure, which closes itself, by influencing the canopies:

Loose, loose, unevenly installed hinges are the reason why the door closes itself. It is easy to fix by screwing the canopies with new fasteners, according to their location;
loose hinges need to be replaced by purchasing similar products in advance;
if tightly screwing does not produce results, then you need to deepen the planting of the canopies using a chisel;
horizontal deviation of the sash and involuntary closing is a consequence of the bending of the hinges; in this case, removing the canopies and moving them closer to the façade of the canvas will help.

In addition to hinges, additional fittings can interfere with the mobility of the sashes. Incorrect installation of the latch or lock provokes uneven distribution of the load, which leads to overweight of one part of the system and its inadvertent closing.

How to adjust an interior door so it doesn't close

When renovating an apartment or house, a lot of effort and energy is spent on choosing interior doors. They should decorate the room, provide reliable sound insulation and protect from drafts. And so - beautiful doors are installed, but then it turns out that they are not able to protect from noise and wind, since they close and open poorly and, in addition, they also creak like a rusty gate.

How to eliminate sagging

Having discovered that the interior door is sagging, you need to find out why this happened. The reasons here may also be different:

the hinges are loose;
the hinges were deformed due to heavy load;
The door sank due to the frame being skewed.

Having determined that the door leaf is warping due to poor fastening of the hinges, it is necessary to secure them. To do this you need to remove the door. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws. To make the fastening stronger, you can replace the screws with longer ones.

If the screws in the sockets are loose, then you need to:

remove the hinges;
Fill the vacated holes with wooden glazing beads; you can pre-lubricate them with glue;
attach the hinges to the previous attachment point and tighten the screws tightly;
hang the door in place.

Deformation of hinges occurs due to incorrect selection of fittings. The hinges turn out to be weak for the actual weight of the door. In such a situation, you need to change the fittings to more durable ones.

There may also be a situation where the door is sagging due to improper installation of the hinge. In this case, you need to deepen half of the loop into the wooden surface by cutting out the required recess using a chisel.

You can make this recess in the door or frame, depending on the need.

When, based on the results of the inspection, it turns out that the cause of the sagging is the skew of the box, then it must be dismantled. Repairing interior doors with your own hands is also possible in this case.

Sagging

If immediately after installing the door structure they functioned normally, then the changes occurred due to settlement of the house. In this case, the order of repair work will be as follows:

remove the canvas and trim;
loosen the fastenings and pull out the door frame;
if it is severely deformed, replace it;
using a level and a plumb line, align the box and secure it with anchors, three pieces on each side;
try on the door and attach the hinges in accordance with its new position;
hang the door leaf and check that it closes correctly;
put the trims in place.

Adjusting hidden hinges

Specific adjustment instructions must be followed:

Remove the cover from the hinge to expose the adjustment mechanism.
To eliminate vertical distortions, turn the bolt with a hex key - the sash will not sag.
Under the mechanism panel there is a screw that regulates the surface of the blade.

Important point! Do not purchase hinges before installing the entrance group without knowing its features and configuration. If you want to install a plastic, sliding or sliding door, then it would be wiser to buy hinges along with the leaf, taking into account the parameters and weight, selecting them according to the shade.

Adjustable in height. Align the gap in the lower and upper parts of the canvas.
Adjustable horizontally. We set gaps to align the canvas with the box.
Adjust by pressing.
We turn the adjusting eccentric and observe how the leaf adheres to the frame in each part of the door.

The adjustment is made with special hexagons in several planes. When performing this work, the bolt must be tightened as tightly as possible, because it is this fastening element that holds the leaf on itself - this will not allow the door to sag. Tighten the bolt with a Phillips screwdriver, but try not to tear it off or spoil its thread.

The adjustment size ranges from one to five millimeters, but this depends on the manufacturer.

Once you have completed the adjustments, install the decorative plates that hide the mounting bolts and adjustment holes.

Causes of malfunction

Question: “Why does the interior door close on its own?” - interests many men who want to fix the problem without outside help.

Practice shows that there are several reasons for impaired sash mobility:

initial incorrect installation of the box or its deformation over time;
curvature of loops;
manufacturing the wrong design;
swelling of wood in too humid conditions.

The main reason why the door closes on its own is the deviation of the vertical post of the frame under the influence of the weight of the door leaf, mechanical damage or sudden heavy load on the entrance structure.

You can check the defect using a level, leaning it against the box. A specialist can fix the problem, since dismantling and reinstallation will be required. When solving the problem yourself, you should adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

remove the fabric from the loops;
Unscrew the screws that secure the box;
remove any remaining foam;
using a level, mark the correct vertical markings for the rack;
lean the stand and screw it with self-tapping screws, according to the marked lines;
install the sash and check its closing/opening mechanism;
if the sash fixes its position on any segment, then the problem is solved; if it continues to close, repeat the manipulations from the beginning.

Before you begin reinstalling the box, you need to eliminate less troublesome breakdowns. The simplest fault is considered to be deformation of the hinges.

Installation technique

Installing a door stop is quite simple. We won’t talk about gluing options, you can handle this yourself. As for fixing with screws, the instructions are something like this:

Support installation technique.

We install the door with a gap between the handle and the wall of about 20 mm and mark the position on the floor;
According to the mark on the floor, we set the stop at the desired angle;
We drill a hole for the dowel for the self-tapping screw and insert the dowel itself;
We screw the stop with a self-tapping screw to the floor.

Wall-mounted and over-door opening limiters are mounted in approximately the same way, so there is no point in retelling these simple instructions.

If the door keeps opening

If the door inside the apartment does not close, or rather, constantly opens after closing, then this is unpleasant, and if the door opens into a corridor that clearly does not differ in the throughput of the avenue, then this is also inconvenient. If the door has screwed or hidden hinges, then the problem can be solved by adjusting the hinges. But as a rule, we mean an old door with card hinges that do not provide for any adjustment. Nevertheless, the problem can be solved for a door with card hinges, and in different ways:

Stuff a piece of leather onto the door jamb or door leaf

The simplest and most ancient method, used by our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. All you need is a piece of leather, a few nails and a hammer, or at least an axe.

Attach a magnet to the door leaf and a metal strip to the jamb, or vice versa

More recently, magnetic latches were actively used in furniture doors. Theoretically, such latches can be used for ordinary interior doors, but depending on the skew of the door or other factors, several magnetic latches may be required (why, described below). However, special magnetic latches for interior doors are now being produced. To install a magnetic latch, in the best case, it is enough to have the latch itself, a few screws and a screwdriver, and in the worst case, you may additionally need a chisel, hammer and drill.

Install a ball latch on the door

Here you will need a ball latch, which you need to buy in advance, screws, a drill with a feather drill, a screwdriver, a hammer, a chisel and a pencil.

Position the door vertically

why twist one of the hinges on the jamb or align the door frame vertically. However, this may not be enough and the door leaf or door frame will have to be additionally planed.

For those who find this answer incomplete, I suggest that you read a more detailed description of the problem and methods for eliminating it. So,

Adjusting the locking mechanisms

The initial stage is disassembling the device. It will depend on the design features whether it will be necessary to dismantle the linings, locking mechanisms and remove the handles. The main method of adjustment and correction will be determined by the symptoms of malfunctions.

If the door lock is jammed, lubricate the latches with machine oil or grease. When lubricating, rotate them so that the liquid spreads throughout all the insides of the mechanism.

If the lock has a short hidden tongue, then there are adjustments for the extension of the tongue, which is built inside the handle. You can adjust the reach by rotating a screwdriver in a special groove. This applies to both the locking mechanism tongue and the handle tongue.

The door is broken or cracked: what to do in this case

When there is constantly low humidity in the room or temperature fluctuations occur, wooden doors can dry out.

The easiest way to restore a cracked door is to use metal corners. But it should be borne in mind that they can disrupt the appearance of the structure.

If you notice that the door has dried out, it should be removed from its hinges and lubricated with special glue

How to repair a door if it has dried out:

You need to start by dismantling the structure: the door is removed from its hinges and disassembled.
Next, all disassembled parts are lubricated with special glue.
All existing cracks and drying areas are carefully masked, after which the door is placed on the clamps and dried.
After the composition is absorbed, the structure is hung in its place again.

Sometimes it happens that a breakdown forms on the surface of the door due to physical impact. What to do in this case? It is best to disguise the hole.

If the damaged area is at the bottom of the door, you can cut it out with a jigsaw and put a ventilation grill there, which should be selected taking into account the size of the hole and the color of the structure.

If the hole is at the top or in the middle of the door, it is better to insert glass or panel into the space that appears.

Care and operation

To reduce the risk of the problems described above, experts recommend:

Frequently adjust and maintain fittings - lubricate hinges, handles and locking mechanisms.
Pay attention to rooms with high humidity - bathroom, kitchen and toilet. The risk of drying out and swelling is much higher there. It is necessary to renew the coating of products more often, pre-treating them with an antiseptic composition.
Monitor the position of the door leaf and periodically adjust it to reduce the risk of the door sagging and reduce the load on the fittings.
Avoid saving on components. High-quality parts and fittings will help increase the service life of the door structure.
Adjust room ventilation by installing forced fans or special air dehumidifiers.
Avoid strong impacts on doors and components to avoid damaging the product.
When caring for doors, use only special products, strictly following the manufacturers' instructions.
Do not allow the surface of the structure to come into contact with chemically active substances - gasoline, acid, acetone, alcohol and alkali.

Advice: If defects are detected, do not delay eliminating them so as not to wait for the entire structure to be replaced.

There are many tips to help keep your doors in good condition. Many people pay attention to them after encountering problems. Frequently changing doors is not affordable for everyone, so it is better to carry out maintenance in a timely manner.

A problem may arise such as spontaneous opening or closing of the door. You walk past the passage, and it opens. You leave the door ajar and the door closes on its own. There are a number of reasons for this problem, and a whole list of solutions to the problem.

Adjusting the closer during installation

The main adjustable parameters are: closing force, opening angle, and speed of movement of the blade. If the movement is too tight, children will not be able to use the doors, pets will be pressed against each other, and additional stress will occur during loading and unloading operations. And closing doors abruptly can result in bumps, bruises and pinched limbs.

Door movement speed

Once installation is complete, you need to learn how to adjust the door closer for ease of use. Self-adjustment of force is set with a screw. If the doors are too fast, turn the screw half a turn clockwise. With slow movements, the screw moves in the opposite direction by half a turn. The looser the screws are, the faster the oil moves through the structure and the faster the device operates.

After trying to turn the screws in different directions several times, you will understand what speed is appropriate. For entrance doors and balcony doors, quick closing is installed. It allows less insects, drafts and strangers to enter. Slow speed is set for interior paintings.

Installation of aftershock

It is very important to adjust the door closer according to the closing force. With a strong bang and rumble, the door frame will collapse. Therefore, it is necessary to find the optimal speed.

The aftershock acts on the last 25cm. from the outer edge of the door. It is adjusted in the same way as the main stroke - by changing the position of the screw. It needs to be turned so that the speed does not hit the jamb and blades too much. Usually the middle position is set, at which the structure is slowed down with a neat, complete connection.

Open Position Calibration

It is often necessary to keep the doors open when there is no intercom or when transporting furniture. This adjustment of door closers is made if the “hold open” functionality is available. Configuration occurs in the following way:

Open the door at 90 degrees.
A special lock is attached to keep the doors open.

To return the doors from a fixed position, the leaves are pulled towards themselves.

Options for door closers that you can make yourself

Making and installing a door closer with your own hands is a technically simple task that even a novice home craftsman can do. When performing this operation, you need to understand the functional purpose of this device: to bring the canvas to a completely closed state. This is especially necessary in winter, because cold air from the street enters through a gap in a loosely closed door.

Device and principle of operation

The design of a factory-made device is quite complex. The spring mechanism works on compression when opening, and the smooth movement when closing is ensured by a piston system filled with oil. The mechanism housing must be sealed. Making such a device with your own hands is quite difficult.

A homemade door closer, created with your own hands, like a factory-made device, can be based on the elasticity of the material. But at home it is easier to make a lining that acts like a spring, stretching when the door is opened. Returning the closer to its original position attracts the door leaf to the frame, closing it.

The gravitational design is no less simple. The principle of operation of a weighted door closer is that the door returns to its place under the influence of gravity, which puts pressure on the weight, which pulls the door into the closed position.

Options for door closers that you can make yourself

A simple door closer can be easily made with your own hands from a piece of rubber. The elastic material meets all the requirements for the product: it stretches and contracts with a force sufficient to return the door to its zero position. The rubber density must be selected depending on the weight of the door leaf: the heavier it is, the thicker the tape should be used for the door closer.

When installing the device, the ends of the tape are secured as follows:

the first - on the frame at a distance of 5-10 cm from the plane of the canvas adjacent to it;
the second - on the panel itself.

To adjust the force when opening and closing the door, measure the distance at which the end of the tape is fixed to the door leaf. The farther it is from the hinged side, the more the rubber closer will contract.

Another option for making a closer - gravity - involves the use of a cable with a load. The end of the cord should be attached to the canvas at the top. For reliability, a metal plate with a hole can be used: it is easier to tie a cable to it.

To make a block mechanism, you need a bracket with an axle (for example, from a broken furniture roller or skateboard). If it is possible to use a ready-made block, the task becomes easier, but if it is not available, you can do it in 2 ways:

the cable is simply thrown over the axle;
make a wheel with a groove for the cord and install it in the bracket.

In the latter case, the cable will slide more easily. It will be possible to attach a weight to the free end of the cord that is sufficient to pull the door leaf to the frame.

Car enthusiasts have the opportunity to make a door closer with their own hands from the lifting mechanism of the luggage compartment of a sedan or hatchback car. This unit is distinguished by the presence of shock absorption and smooth opening functions. The device must first be modified by attaching plates with holes for attaching to the door frame and leaf.

It is easy to make a compact closer from a small holey rubber ball or a medical bulb:

The round rubber product is attached to a wooden or metal plate using screws.
The structure must be installed on the frame from the outside so that the edge of the ball is at the level of the junction of the box and the canvas on the hinge side.
Place a metal corner on the door that opens outward, close to the ball, the length of one side of which is equal to the diameter of the ball.

When opened, the corner will compress the ball, squeezing the air out of it. By expanding, the ball will force the door to return to its original position.

A magnetic latch is more appropriate on an interior door. It does not perform a closing function, but reliably holds the door in the closed position in the event of a slight draft. To make the structure, you need a strong magnet and a small steel plate. The parts are attached to the frame and canvas so that when the door is closed they overlap each other. If the thickness of the elements is too large, then you can make recesses in the wooden door for them.

Spring closer

The most common type of closers are springs. It is not difficult to install a spring closer with your own hands, and the durability of the device is superior to other homemade designs. There are 2 options for installing the closer:

in the middle of the box;
on the top.

The last option is used if you want to hide a spring that is not decorative.

The spring stiffness must be selected depending on the weight of the door. To prevent the sash from slamming when the spring contracts, it is worth installing a shock absorber. The material for it can be a thin rubber hose: it will not prevent the door from closing smoothly when the door is close to the zero position.

The ends of the spring closer are attached to the frame and canvas with special plates with hooks. When installed on the side of the box, fastening to the frame is done from the hinge side. Depending on the distance from this point to the fastening on the leaf, you can adjust the force of slamming the sash.

The top installation option can be different, and the door closer can be fixed with your own hands in any convenient place on the upper side of the frame and near the edge of the door leaf.

It is convenient to install the shock absorber at the junction of the canvas and the frame on the side of the hinges. You can secure the hose with glue (liquid nails) or self-tapping screws. When the spring is activated to close, the edge of the canvas will rest against the rubber product, and then will be gently pulled towards the frame.

Door installation

You can install a homemade or factory-made door closer according to the rules common to all options:

find the maximum door opening angle;
make markings for attaching the ends at the desired height or location;
make holes for fasteners;
strengthen the ends of the spring or other type of structural parts;
If necessary, adjust the tightness of the sash.

Settings

Setting up a homemade mechanism is as follows:

the speed of movement of the sash in a homemade product is regulated by changing the length of the elastic element (in spring structures) or the weight of the load (in gravitational ones);
To change the adjustment to the zero position, change the thickness of the shock-absorbing hose.

When setting up, you can take into account other design flaws, for example, install a shock absorber on the load if it touches the wall, enlarge the hole in the ball if the door is difficult to open, etc.

Eliminating shortcomings: how to fix an interior door yourself?

The interior door will function if it is installed correctly in the doorway and all details are adjusted. How to do this correctly is described in the article. Cases when the door stops working properly are also discussed in detail: what problems exist, how to fix them?

Non-closing

Incomplete closing or complete jamming of the hinges in the openings leads to the fact that the door cannot be closed tightly. This is the most common problem.

Attention

Most often, the problem of a door that won’t close is due to the door frame being skewed, and this is due to improper installation.

When attaching the canvas to the opening, the beams are incorrectly fastened together or the proportions are not observed when connecting the horizontal and vertical crossbars.

Distortions are determined by a level or plumb line. If the box is skewed, it will need to be removed from its hinges.
Then check the evenness of the cut of the beams. They need to be reconnected to each other, while maintaining an even angle of 90 degrees.
All joints are fastened with screws. At least two pieces must be used. The result is the letter P with firmly connected corners.

If the hinges are installed incorrectly, the problem also appears in the form of the inability to completely close the door. The hinges are also not recessed enough compared to the surface of the canvas or box.

In this case, the deepening of the loops is done with self-tapping screws. They are screwed tightly to the base. You can try unscrewing the hinges and deepening the attachment point with a grinder or chisel. If the hinges are not connected correctly in the horizontal plane, then they are removed and placed closer to the facade of the sash.

Sagged and warped or sagged

The most difficult problem in adjusting the door leaf is that its deformation leads to rapid destruction. Eliminating the problem using available means can be difficult and sometimes impossible. If you ignore the problem at its initial stage of manifestation, the canvas will shift more and more in relation to the diagonal. The slopes are worn down and begin to pull out from the wall.

Door distortion can be eliminated by removing the frame from the doorway. After measurements, the exact location of the deformation that led to the distortion of the structure is identified. The diagonal is checked and the area where the sagging is visible is identified.
The door is adjusted after removing all decorative elements from it. Additional bolts are screwed into the structure and the desired position is fixed.
The old mounting foam is removed and spacers are installed. Foaming the seams is done carefully so as not to damage the appearance of the door leaf and openings.

Important

Most often, door loosening occurs due to improperly positioned hinges in the doorway.

What can this mean:

The hinges are too deep inside the structure. If there is a slight difference from normal values, loosen the screws that secure the hardware plates. If the depression is significant (more than 0.5 mm), then the hinges are raised with a backing, for example, from a cardboard base.
Strongly protruding loops in relation to the canvas. In this case, the canvas will not touch the box at all. The problem is solved by removing the unnecessary layer of material with a sanding attachment.

Sagging of the door occurs due to loosening of the fastenings on the hinges. To lift the door to the required distance, screws are well secured. If the problem cannot be corrected, a rubber gasket is placed under the canopy.

Some door models require the axis to be knocked out. Plastic blocks are adjusted by tightening the hinges with a hex key.

The handles are loose

The door leaf may not be fixed in the opening when closing if the position of the tongue in the lock does not coincide with the hole in the counter plate. If this is the case, then you need to connect the plate at the desired level.

Methods for eliminating defects

Often we are faced with the fact that an interior door, which previously opened or closed perfectly, has begun to bring us inconvenience. Over time, old sashes begin to sag under their own weight, close poorly, and creak. To eliminate visible problems, you need to carefully study the adjustment instructions.

The door has stopped closing

One of the problems with plastic and wooden models is considered to be a violation of the geometry of the canvas. This is immediately noticeable - it needs to be corrected. The reason is excessive humidity, heat, dryness.

If the wooden structure is old, then a thick layer of varnish or paint accumulates on it. When the structure is closed, examine the pronounced gaps. If there are minor or no gaps, remove the blade and remove excess wood from the frame with a plane. With these simple steps you will repair your door and improve its appearance.

If the box is clearly skewed and installed incorrectly, the beams are poorly fastened, or the exact proportions when connecting the beams horizontally and vertically are not observed, the canvas may also not fit tightly. A plumb line will help determine whether the structure is truly skewed. Remove the product if your concerns are confirmed. Make sure that the cuts of the joints of the beams are even. After joining the beams at an angle of 90 degrees, strengthen all joints. The result should be a structure similar to the letter “P” with firmly fixed edges.

Do not forget about the hinges, which were initially installed in a horizontal plane in violation of the installation rules - they are distant from the outer part of the canvas. Eliminate the defect - remove, move the hinges closer to the facade of the sash.

The door is stuck in the opening

The canvas is difficult to open, sags - the box is deformed due to excessive exposure to moisture, improper fastening of the fittings, or fixation of the box itself in the opening.

We are correcting this defect. To do this, we tighten the hardware that holds the false beam in the opening. Then we remove the sash with hinges from the opening to place cardboard under it.

If it closes and opens randomly

Creak

Poor fit of hinges to the jamb is the most common cause of squeaking. Simple tools will help you solve the problem - a screwdriver, a chopper. It is necessary to tighten the screws tightly in the hinge with a screwdriver. If this algorithm of actions does not eliminate the squeak, you need to hammer the chopper into the hole and fix it.

The squeak is caused by wood rubbing against wood. To fix it, remove the sash and lubricate the hinges. Check for rust causing squeaking. Solution: Clean the hinges with steel wool. Be careful - don't get hurt or damage the canvas.
