Foundation Issue Can Make Doors Sticking?
Have you got a door that is hard to open or close at your property? Although the problem may be that the door is somewhat too large for its frame and hung wrongly, humidity is the most probable explanation. Most doors are made of wood that swells when exposed to moisture and other humidity. So what should you do if you've got a door in Oklahoma, all right?
The first step is to determine which door section sticks exactly. Is the frame caught by a particular corner of the door? Is the lock mechanism's strike plate on the frame? Does it appear that the door hangs? Watch your door open and close attentively a few times and the problem should be evident. You can proceed with the appropriate solution once you have identified the specific problem of the door.
The Causes of Windows Sticking Problem
Some may be why windows stick together or don't close properly. The answer for doors could be just as simple as high moisture, which could cause the frame of the door to swell and not work properly. Or perhaps moisture and exposure to the sun will lead to warp if your door is a wooden door. Maybe the hinges and equipment are old and need to be replaced. Alternatively, if the door plate is brand-new, it may have been improperly installed or it is just too big. Perhaps everything necessary to solve the problem is a light sanding.
Wood windows are also frequently sticky because of humidity, which can cause problems in the normal operation by swelling or distorting the frame. Maybe everything will be all right when the moisture calms down!
Signs of Foundation Problem
If moisture is not at fault, the same problem as above causes the foundation problem. It's all about the settlements of your house. When the lab is built into the ground, your home can shift up or down and move a bit, bending, and uneven door and window frames, which can lead to a stick.
