How to Fix a Sticking Door

[@OCX600RR]

Posted 14 years ago … and people are still finding, and using this simple remedy. Thank you sir!

[@donnydoors]

Doors change slowly over time, so it's not surprising this trick is still applicable. Probably still works on pre-hung doors as well. Thanks for your feedback.

[@Echris21]

Just came here from Reddit. :) Years ago, I saw a video similar to yours with this fix. I've been meaning to do this to the sticky linen closet door for years. Of course, I only remember when I about to get into the shower and grab a new towel. After watching this, I immediately grabbed some tools and now, 5 minutes later, I'm back at my computer and that freakin' door is no longer binding on the jamb. Informative, to the point, and very well done. 15 years later, and you're still helping people! Thank you sir!

[@donnydoors]

Better than selling the book is the feeling I get when somebody succeeds as a result of using what's in it. Thanks for the comment.

[@xobotun_]

Yes, thanks for this trick! All my doors seem to be okay, but that's the thinking process that I missed before. I would have chiseled out the hinge attachment and rescrewed the hinge back. Even though that bending the hinge a little is what was required. And I think it's not the only place where such thinking can be applied! Thanks once again.

[@TheW83]

Same here! I actually have this issue with the door to my daughter's room. I pleased to see the website it still active! I've got some other issues as well.

I am a 21 years old girl and my mum didn't believe I could do this. I fixed all 3 sticky doors after watching ur tutorial! It's the best tutorial out there and very easy to follow. Thank you! Also, a tip for those with no dike: you can use a screwdriver. Tap the hammer to knock out the long piece (whatever that's called) from the bottom.

[@williamgoldschmidt8840]

As a maintenance tech for 10years now, this is the best solution I've seen to solve this issue. Works great! Thank you sir 👍

[@donnydoors]

An endorsement from a pro means a lot to me. Thanks, William.

[@HamedOwji]

This technique worked great. I used an additional trick to determine that exact amount I need to bend the hinge. Before bending, slide some cardboard or a wedge from the side or bottom to line up the top and bottom of the door evenly with the frame. Now the hinge holes will be out of alignment. Simply bend the door hinge until they are aligned.

[@xjanosikx]

Thank you for saving me a several hours of useless steps and making me look like the hero in front of my family. That was truly the greatest DYI fix yet.

[@donstewart1352]

From one Don to another thanks so much for this video. As you said, I had always been told to take off and plane a sticking door. I was getting ready to help my son do that at their recently purchased first home, on two fiberglass entry doors with about an 1/8 inch strip of something around them that appeared to be planeable (if that’s a word). I had only ever planed wood doors. It was a worrisome prospect. Yesterday, I searched KZbin for “planing sticking doors” and your video came up. We followed your directions and it fixed both doors! No removing, no planing! Awesome! I went to your website and bought your book for him! Thanks again, Don Stewart

No ad or marketing BS. No stupid graphics. No 5min intro for 45sec of content. No begging for subscribers or likes. AND you helped me figure out and solve the problem I was having-something that a dozen other KZbinrs failed to accomplish. Thank you, sir!

Donny...12 years later and your video is still helping to solve problems. I just followed your instructions to fix a door that I have been dreading to address because I didn't want to repaint it after trimming the edge with a hand plane. Well.... popped 3 pins, made slight tweaks to hinges, and voila, no more sticking. It took me 2 years and 5 minutes to do this fix. Two years procrastinating and 5 minutes to actually fix it. :)

[@donnydoors]

That's terrific, Richard. Yes, doors have changed little in the decades of our lives. No hissing automatic panels yet, still only in Lucas films. Granted, pre-hungs made of molded fibreglass have replaced real wood. But the hinges and jambs are still the same as they were in my Grandpa's time. I'm so glad you were able to solve your problem quickly. And don't feel back about wasted time. Whatever it took, the job got done. May you and yours stay well.

neat video but that door hinge pin was not straight....

[@donnydoors]

+skeleman1963 That video is nearly a decade old, yet you're the first to notice that. Funny, I just noticed it the other day. If you check out my Door Trix book, you'll find that bending a hinge pin thus provides a way to slow down a "ghosting" door, thatis a door that closes on its own. Not always a sure fire cure. But I believe that particular door, which I rigged in order to make the video, was always swinging shut. I bent the pin and it helped a bit. Thanks for the comment.

I'm so glad to see John Madden has found something to do in his retirement.

I just did a search for "Why is my door sticking" and when I saw the thumbnail for this video, I thought, "Oh yeah. This is definitely the right guy to learn from." So glad I did! Also just bought your eBook. Thanks for sharing your experience, Don!

[@donnydoors]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm glad the trick worked for you. And I hope you find the book comprehensible,

What else is in that bucket? It's like Mary Poppins' bag. Anything could be in there!

I just did this fix on a pantry door in the kitchen in 2019, and it worked like a charm. Well done, Sir!

The video has been up for years, but people still find it and make use of it. The book's still available, too. Thanks for the comment.

This reminds me of one vid DOOR STUCK

[@Sulfrix_]

GET OUT OF THE WAY MAN! DOOR STUCK! DOOR STUCK! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

[@carolmorrison7085]

Worked like a charm. I was stuck installing a new door, spent hours trying to get it right but could not get it to close no matter what I tried. Found this video, tried this trick, fixed in 15 minutes. Thank you for your advise!!!

[@donnydoors]

You're most welcome. Does my heart good to know I actually helped someone. Be well.

DOOR STUCK DOOR STUCK

Live in an old apartment, the heat / humidity did a number on my bathroom door. WELL... THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO instruction I've seen so far in all my searches. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@donnydoors]

You're more than welcome. But don't re-sealing that door once all the problems are solved. One coat of Kilz should do. But a second coat if the 2nd doesn't work.

[@themoon1455]

Just found this 14 years later, can't believe how easy it was! Very nice video, clear and concise instructions by someone who clearly knows what he's doing. Cheers!

[@donnydoors]

The older you get the quicker time flies. Sorry I don't have many other nifty tricks. This one is the slickest. Glad it did well by you.

[@superlucky28]

Started watching 7-8 videos before this one, cheesy music and over explaining. Started this one and this one straight to the point and it helped. Door fixed! Thanks!

[@donnydoors]

That's a great compliment; thanks. But shouldn't all instructional videos be like that?

[@bmartin1019]

I’ve been trying for 2 days to fix our patio door that Hurricane Dorian messed up. This worked like a charm. Thank you sir

[@donnydoors]

Amazing. Did it bang open in the wind?
