Door Repair questions, answered by experts

The job is relatively simple, but it does require some skill. When planing a door, you run the risk of splintering it if you don't do it correctly. You’ll need to remove the door from the hinges in order to properly plane it, and removing and rehanging a door can be a two-person job. While planing a door is a straightforward repair, you’ll want to ensure it’s done right to avoid damaging your door.

No, most door experts recommend against using WD-40 on sliding glass doors. This specific product can attract dirt and debris, which can build up over time and make it even harder for your door to open and close. Instead, use a silicone-based lubricant or a dry lubricant like wax or Teflon.

In short,  door hinges stop squeaking when oiled because lubrication causes friction to decrease.The squeaking sound a door makes is caused by friction from lack of lubrication. So, when you apply oil or oil-based lubricants to the door hinges it causes the friction to decrease and stop the squeaking.

Using force to open a door is not recommended, as this could cause serious injury or permanent damage to your door and surrounding door frame. If it’s a front door that you’ve lost the keys for, it’s better to call a locksmith. If it’s an interior door without any lock that you plan on keeping, a handyman can help. Finally, if it’s an old door that you plan to replace anyway, a professional door installer can remove the stuck door and source a replacement.

If you recently tightened screws to fix a loose doorknob, the issue is likely that you over tightened them. Doing so binds the turning mechanism, which will prevent your doorknob from bouncing back when you turn and release it. To fix this problem, loosen the mounting screws just a little so that the knob bounces back as expected but doesn’t wiggle. If this doesn’t fix the issue, try loosening the knob, centering it in the boring hole, and then tightening it.
