Why Your Front Door Is Not Closing Properly?
When a front door does not close properly, it is usually a sign of an alignment or hardware issue. This problem can affect security, insulation, and daily comfort, so it should not be ignored.
One of the most common reasons is hinge misalignment. Over time, the weight of the door can cause hinges to loosen or shift, making the door rub against the frame or stop before closing fully. In many cases, this can also be the result of an improper installation when the door was originally installed.
Seasonal temperature changes and humidity can cause doors and frames to expand or contract, especially with wood or older materials. In addition, natural movement or settling of the home over time can cause the frame to shift slightly, affecting how the door closes.
Another common cause is a misaligned strike plate or lock. If the latch does not line up correctly, the door may close but not lock, or it may bounce back open. Worn weatherstripping can also create resistance and prevent a proper seal.
A professional technician can inspect the door, hinges, lock, and frame to identify the exact issue. In many cases, front door problems can be repaired the same day, restoring proper function, security, and peace of mind.
