Door Won't Close Repair in Toledo, OH

Doors that stick or won't latch usually mean something has shifted. We figure out whether it's the door, the frame, or the foundation—and fix it right.

Partially open door leading into a bright classroom with visible desks and chairs.

What Causes Doors to Stop Closing?

It's usually not the door itself—something structural has changed.

  • Foundation settling

    When the foundation shifts, door frames twist out of square

  • Sagging floors

    Weakened joists cause floors and walls to shift together

  • Header or framing issues

    The beam above the door may have sagged or shifted

  • Humidity and seasonal swelling

    Wood expands in humid Toledo summers, especially older doors

Signs It's Getting Worse
