Common Wooden Door Issues We Fix
Wooden doors add a long-lasting and timeless function to your home. However, they do develop certain issues over time that require a locksmith’s expertise, such as the following:
Broken or damaged locks
Seems to have problems opening/closing your wooden door? Is it damaged or jammed? Fret not; we can repair your wooden doors or replace them if they are broken beyond repair. Also, if your wooden door lock isn’t working properly, you’re vulnerable to attempted burglaries. So, we will fit anti-snap, advanced-security door locks on your wooden door, making your property more resistant to common burglary techniques. Our expert locksmiths can handle all sorts of wooden door repairs, replacements, installations, and maintenance work.
Warped or swelling doors
Thermal expansion and moisture injections can inflate the wood your door is made of, making it appear swollen. Swollen or warped doors cause alignment issues, and they won’t close all the way. It’s bad weatherproofing and also makes your house intruder-friendly. So, you should get in touch with our professional locksmiths to realign your wooden door. We use protective methods to prevent warping and readjust your wooden door so it fits within its frame.
Sticking or misaligned doors
Misalignment issues cause wooden doors to jam. You will have trouble opening or closing your door. Sticking wooden doors are caused by frequent & sudden weather changes, such as drops in the temperature. These jammed doors can be frustrating and also pose a big security risk. At Lock & Key, we realise these issues stem from saggy wood. So, our professionals will make the necessary adjustments, rehanging your wooden door so it’s not out of alignment anymore.
Broken hinges and loose fittings
Unsteady wooden doors are caused by loose screws. When hinges wear out, your wooden door will begin wobbling and creaking a lot. These problems make your wood not only unstable but also very dangerous. These hinges/screws need to be replaced right away. This is what we’ll do to make your wooden door functional again.
Frame and structural damage
When the frame of your wooden door has already grown weak, intruders can easily force their way inside your home. That’s why you should watch out for splits and cracks in the frame of the door. Call Lock & Key Rotherham to adjust and reinforce your wooden door’s frame, ensuring that your property isn’t vulnerable to forced entries. Our experienced locksmithing wizards will restore your wooden door’s integrity if it has been damaged by an attempted burglary.
Drafty wooden doors
When the sealant doesn’t work properly, your weatherproofing fails, and the door lets outside air in. Properly sealed doors prevent burglars and cold air from breaking into your home. So, you’ll have to get your drafty wooden doors checked by professional locksmiths. Whether your door is not functioning well due to weathering or some other reason, our experts will reapply the sealant to make it functional again.

Common Causes of Wooden Door Damage
The durability of wooden doors is simply unparalleled. However, wooden doors are still prone to damage. The following factors can make your wooden door malfunction:
Environment
Temperature fluctuations, including changes in humidity, significantly impact wood due to its porous nature, which readily absorbs moisture, leading to expansion or contraction in size.
Wear and tear
Over time, the natural ageing process of a wooden door, combined with general wear and tear such as scratches, dents, and loose components, compromises its functionality.
Poor maintenance
Frequent use without adequate maintenance can lead to deterioration of the door, particularly if it is not regularly sealed or cleaned.

If you notice your valued wooden door showing signs of damage, here are some steps you can take to restore it to its former condition.
