Common Wooden Door Issues We Fix
As you might imagine, doors made from wood can run into all manner of problems across the years. Some of the most usual problems we find with wooden doors involve:
Broken or damaged locks
Having locks that do not work properly or do not work at all is a serious risk to your security. If you want to make sure that your doors work correctly, we can carry out an analysis of your locks. The issue could simply be debris build-up, or it could be a problem with wear-and-tear.
It might even be something more abstract like property erosion; whatever the problem is, we analyse the situation and find a suitable solution to the issue!
Warped or swelling doors
Thanks to the weather we endure here in Sheffield, we often suffer from regular rain and high humidity, even in the summer. As such, our doors feel like they go through the expansion and contraction process more than in other countries. Doors that continually shrink and swell can lead to moisture build-up and drafts, making your quality of life poorer and energy bills higher. Whatever the cause, we resolve the issue!
Sticking or misaligned doors
If your doors are commonly sticking when you open or close them, the problem is unlikely to resolve itself. Most of the time, this comes down to door alignment issues or the door needing to be planed thanks to swelling. Whatever the reason for your door not opening and closing properly, we can find a way to fix the issue and make sure that your doors do not suffer from further misalignment or warping. If needed, we can rehang your doors.
Broken hinges and loose fittings
When your hinges fail to work as they should, you need someone who can replace the hinges with better alternatives. When you start to open your door, does it feel increasingly loose? Then, the issue you face likely involves your hinges. We can repair broken hinges or, if required, upgrade them.
Frame and structural damage
It does not take much for a door to become physically damaged. The door itself could be damaged, or the door frame could have been cracked or split over time. Not only do wooden doors (or door frames) with cracks and splits look awful, but they also make it easy for someone to break through them. If you spot any kind of physical damage to your doors or the frames, let us know; we can find a solution that restores order and physical durability.
Drafty wooden doors
As you probably know, the autumn and winter in Sheffield can lead to some pretty major winds. As such, it does not take much for drafts to get into our homes and cool the whole place down, meaning we waste energy simply trying to counteract the drafts. If we find any signs of drafts around your wooden doors in Sheffield, we can fit draft excluders and/or upgrade your doors so you can reduce waste and improve efficiency.
Damage from burglary repairs
Of course, your doors could also be damaged during a physical break-in attempt or through criminal damage. If someone vandalises your doors or damages them physically, even during an accident, the door could become weaker and thus less resistant to further damage. We can review any damage done to your doors and come up with repairs or help you source a high-quality replacement door instead.
- Restore your wooden door to make your home burglar-resistant again and provide you with peace of mind
- Replacing the existing broken lock and replace them with a robust, snap-free alternative
- Strengthen the weak points and install extra security
- Give you suggestions on how to prevent future burglaries

Common Causes of Wooden Door Damage
Given their prevalence in homes across the UK and in Sheffield, wooden doors seem to be more commonly damaged than other door types. The most common reasons for door damage include:
Weather conditions
As you probably know, the Sheffield weather can be as unpredictable as it comes. With changes in the weather, doors contract and expand regularly.
Wear and tear
Wood is a durable and sturdy material, but it can become worn out and damaged like anything else. Over time, wear and tear can lead to physical damage.
Lack of maintenance
Of course, your wooden doors might even become damaged due to a lack of cleaning, care, and preventive maintenance!
Wooden Door Maintenance
When your wooden doors need maintenance, call our accredited expert locksmiths, and we can restore them to their best condition.
Cleaning and resealing wooden doors
Other common issues with your wooden doors can come down to a lack of regular cleaning and restoring the seals. Seals can wear away over time, leading to drafting and energy loss. By ensuring the wood is clean and the seals are in place properly, your doors stay in better condition.
Replacing hardware components
Over time, your doors’ mechanisms – like the handles and hinges – will begin to wear out and lose their effectiveness. When that happens, we can either repair the inner workings or offer cost-effective upgrades that modernise your doors’ aesthetics and functions.
