What this looks like in Kanata

Doors are the single most common call we take in Kanata, and it is a straightforward consequence of the housing age. Homes built fifteen to twenty-five years ago are past the point where the framing has finished settling, so interior doors that hung fine for a decade start catching on the latch side. Builder-grade closet doors in these subdivisions are the other half of it — the rollers and pivots were the cheapest part of the house and they are the first to wear out.

What we get called for here

  • Bedroom doors catching on the latch edge, worst in February
  • Bifold and sliding closet doors that have dropped off their track
  • Front doors letting cold in where the weatherstrip has compressed flat
  • Smart locks that jam because the door itself is no longer square

Kanata questions

My whole house has sticking doors — is that a problem?

It is a very normal sign of a house in this age bracket finishing its settling. Individually each door needs a hinge or strike adjustment; collectively it is one visit and a couple of hours.

My smart lock keeps failing — is the lock faulty?

Usually not. Smart locks have limited motor torque, so a misalignment that a manual deadbolt would push through will stop one dead. Nine times out of ten the door needs squaring, not the lock replacing.
