The garage access door at this Clayton home had given up. The timber was swelling, the face was delaminating, and the hardware was fighting the door instead of working with it. Internal garage doors sit in an awkward environment — temperature swings, humidity from the garage space, and often less maintenance attention than the front entry.
When a garage door delaminate and swells enough to bind in the frame, you can plane it back temporarily. But once the timber has failed to that point, you’re on a cycle — it comes back every year until the door is replaced.
