Doors that won't shut

Sometimes doors will become out of alignment over time due to the normal expansion and contraction of wood. This could cause the door to catch on the corners or even latch when you close it. A little bit of work will often solve these issues. If you can tighten the hinges and correct the issue then your door will close properly again.

Examine the hinges to determine whether there are loose screws. A loose screw can cause a hinge leaf to sag creating gaps between it and the jamb. This can cause the latch to go through the strike plate hole which can result in a jammed door.

To fix this, take off the hinge screw and slide a piece cardboard (we use the back of old legal pads to guide us) between the hinges and the door jamb. Then screw the hinge back into position. This will widen the gap along the hinge side and narrow it on the latch side, allowing the latch to clear the strike plate. Repeat the procedure until the issue is solved.

If tightening the hinges, and using longer screws to correct the alignment of the holes in your strike plate does not resolve the issue it may be necessary to hammer or shim the strike plate to ensure it is aligned with the latch hole. If this is the case, a amount of wood filler and paint is often enough to cover up the changes.

Long-term use and physical damage can also cause the strike plate to become curled or warped, which can cause the latch to strike the edge of the hole and not extend into it far enough to ensure that the door is closed. Apply lipstick to the latch, and then stick an edging strip to the strike plate. Close the door, then open it. The lipstick will leave an impression on the tape where the latch is able to meet the strike plate hole. If the mark is located below the hole, the latch should be moved upwards.
