What to record when a timber door sticks
Describe the symptom, not a guessed repair
A scrape at the floor, contact against the side frame and a latch that misses its strike are different symptoms. Show the whole opening and the area with visible rubbing marks. If it opens normally, a short video can help explain where resistance starts.
Mention recent flooring, painting, hardware changes or a change in how the problem behaves. If more than one door is affected, list them separately. Avoid asking for material to be removed before the door, hinges and frame have been assessed.
Define a successful adjustment
Ask the quote to identify the proposed adjustment and any hardware or timber repair it includes. Surface making-good and repainting should be listed separately, especially if the existing finish is damaged around the contact point.
Before the job is signed off, check the agreed operation: the door opens through the required range, closes without being forced and latches as intended. A cosmetic touch-up alone is not an operation repair.
Details to include with this enquiry
- Where does the door first catch?
- Is the problem constant or does it come and go?

Timber door restoration in Ashgrove — FAQ
What to record when a timber door sticks
Should I sand the edge before arranging a repair?+
First identify why it catches. Removing timber is not the same as correcting an alignment or hardware problem, and it changes the door permanently. Send the symptoms and photos for assessment before deciding on the repair.
Is latch adjustment included with a sticking-door repair?+
Only if it is part of the agreed scope. Mention both the rubbing and latching symptoms so they can be assessed together rather than discovering a second issue after finishing.
