Door hinges allow the door to pivot away from the doorway in one direction but not in the other. Door Repair Brooklyn will help you with your door hinges replacement. The hinge side of the door is often the source of closure issues. Over time, screws used to hold a hinge in place start to work their way free, causing the door to sag. As a result, the door may scrape the door frame when closing, or may no longer properly meet the latch-side strike plate.

You will often need door hinge repair. The hinges connect the door to the frame, which again is attached to the wall. When the hinges are not lubricated, rust may accumulate making it difficult to open the door.

Door Hinge Plate

It’s also possible for hinge mortises — where the hinge leaves are attached — to be set too deeply, which can cause the door to bind over time as hinge leaves shift. Check whether door hinge plates are the problem by opening the door and looking at the jamb: if leaves are sunk below the surface, the mortises are cut too deep.
