Why Not Mend Your Own Squeaky Doors?

Owning one's own home in Grays is wonderful, particularly if you are skilled at do-it-yourself, because you never have to look very far to find another thing that needs fixing. A squeaky door is certainly one such issue. It isn't a big issue, but it sure can certainly be an nuisance to everybody until it's fixed. Since it is not a severe enough problem to require a carpenter; it's the type of thing you would like to be able to mend yourself.

Listen closely to find the source of the squeak, so that you are able to understand just what needs repairing. The first thing you should do, before you even contemplate swapping out your entire door, is what we call the swing test. Swing the door back and forth and listen closely to pinpoint the source. You can normally manage to locate the source by doing this, and establish the cause. If you listen intently, as you are moving the door at various speeds, you ought to be able to establish the precise cause of the squeak.

By far the most common cause of squeaking doors is a absence of hinge lubrication. To begin with make sure to tighten all of the fixing screws. Then take hold of a flat screwdriver to use to loosen the hinge pins. Pour a little oil over the hinge itself. Allow the oil to soak into the hinge, and sway the door back and forth a couple of times. You'll discover if this was indeed the problem quickly. If it didn't solve the problem, there's an additional thing that quite typically happens. At times the squeak can be brought on by wood rubbing against other wood. This might occur if the door is swollen because of high humidity. To avoid this, simply move the door stop so it is clear of the door. To achieve this you are going to need a hammer along with an offcut of wood. Just place the wood across the door stop where it seems to be squeaking, and knock it over a bit.

After the door quits squeaking and opens and closes effortlessly, you're a winner. The only problem is that this will frequently ruin the paint, consequently a bit of touch-up painting may be required. Yet another cause may well be a hinge actually rubbing up against the door jam, perhaps because it isn't sunk in deeply enough, or even because it's too deep. Unscrew the hinges and, when they're cut too deep put some packing behind them; if they are not deep enough, deepen them. It is kind of, a process or trial and error, where you must keep checking your progress.

If it isn't a simple repair, the the replacement of the whole door may be the only answer. It is really an effortless task with pre-hung doors. Make sure the doors coordinate and be ready to do some painting work. No matter what it is, the fantastic thing is to be able to complete this yourself. If you're not confident in this process, or are concerned about making things even worse, simply call on your local Grays door fitters, who will be pleased to help you out.
