Tips to Fix Saggy Doors at Your Home and Office



Normally seasons change and homes become age, there is settling that occurs. It is a very typical issue though it doesn’t often cause major problems. Creaking joints, slight shifting in floorboards, or cracks in the drywall. During the course of your home settling, door jamb can shift, creating a sagging door. This can cause improper latch alignment, or parts of the door to snag on the frame. When settling occurs, opening and closing your door becomes difficult or even impossible.
I am sure that we all have experienced this problem numerous times and fixing the problem can prove to be challenging. It is no worries and can be fixed without hiring professional as suggested by BrightOrionMC one of the leading provider of Handyman service in Dubai if you follow the below listed tips.  
Plane The Door
Planning the door could be something to consider. Planning the end of your door will make fitting inside the jamb easier. However, this can cause problems with modern, manufactured doors because they are hollow and often flimsy. Planning these doors could mean doing more damage than intended.
Fix Loose Screws
Though it sounds silly, but this can definitely impact how your door sits in the jamb. Look for some screws those aren’t completely tight, the door hinge could easily sag, causing the door to catch on the door frame. Ensuring all your door hinge screws are tight will eliminate this possibility and allow you to try the next step if your door still won’t function correctly.
Replace Shorter Screws
If you find the screws of your door hinges loose or they’re not getting enough bite into the door frame, you get to replace screws with something a bit more solid. Sometimes using less screws can fix the problem yet you get to fix the problem by using 2 or more screws on the door.
Fill in Loose Screw Holes
There is a possibility that nothing on this list works then you can consider to fix the screw holes. Sometimes screw holes are losing you can try filling in the loose screw holes. If your screw has partially stripped out the hole, or isn’t getting enough bite, you can try filling the hole to make a tighter fit. You can use a lot of materials like wood glue and toothpicks to fill the screw hole, allowing you to get more friction with the door screw.
Use A Hinge Shim
In case, your door is uneven adjusting door hinges might make a difference. If your hinge need to be extended from the wall instead of drawn in, using a hinge shim could be an option. On the other hand, you must find your door hinge over a piece of thin cardboard and cut out the shape to use as a shim in your door jamb. Be careful because too much of a shim can make the problem worse.
