What’s Going On
Three Problems. One Cause: Water.
Swollen or Sticking
- Sticks or won’t close, worst in winter
- Lock and latch won’t line up
- Planing it only buys a season
Rotten at the Bottom
- Soft or crumbling along the bottom
- Paint bubbling on the bottom rail
- A screwdriver pushes straight in
Weather-Damaged
- Peeling, fading or cracked paint
- Warped or bowed face
- Worst on doors with no awning
Honest Answer
Fix It or Replace It?
Probably a Fix
- It swelled once, after a long wet spell
- The door is solid, just catching on one edge
- The frame is firm, no soft spots
Planing, sealing or adjusting may be all it needs. If that’s the case, we’ll tell you.
Time to Replace
- It sticks every winter
- It’s soft or rotten at the bottom
- Paint won’t hold, or the face has warped
- It’s been planed before

FAQ
Quick Answers
Can I just plane a swollen door?
Sometimes, once. If it swells every winter, water is in the door and it will keep coming back.
Can a rotten door be patched?
A small spot, maybe. If it’s soft along the bottom, the rot is inside the door. Replacing it is the lasting fix.
What if the frame is rotten too?
We check it when we measure. If it’s soft, we’ll quote a new frame with the door.
Will StormBloc™ fit my existing frame?
Usually. At 36.5mm thick it fits most existing frames.
