It sticks and it will not latch are the two most common calls we get in Clarington, and they are usually the same problem seen in two different seasons. Humid air off Lake Ontario swells wood doors and older frames through the summer; a January cold snap contracts everything, slows the closer and stops the deadlatch reaching the strike. In between, freeze-thaw keeps nudging the frame. In the newer subdivisions around Northglen, Brookhill and Port Darlington there is a third cause: a house that is still settling in its first couple of years will push a door out of square all on its own.
We diagnose the whole assembly — hinges, pivots, frame square, strike position, threshold height and closer settings — and correct the cause rather than moving the strike plate and hoping. Then we deal with the bottom of the door, which on an exposed Clarington lot is where the winter actually gets in: thresholds, sweeps, bottom seals, weatherstripping and astragals, fitted to the door's real gap along its full width rather than to a catalogue number. On rural properties out past Enniskillen, Hampton and Newtonville, where there is nothing to break the wind coming off the fields, that bottom seal is doing more work than anything else in the opening.

Door Alignment, Thresholds & Weatherstripping — your questions
Our door sticks in the summer and rattles in the winter — what is going on?
That is classic Clarington seasonal movement. Humid lake air swells the door and frame through the summer, then winter cold shrinks everything back and the gaps open up. The fix is setting the door for the swing it actually has year-round — correcting hinge position, frame square and strike — rather than trimming it for one season.
Snow blows in under our entrance door — is that a threshold problem?
Usually the threshold, the sweep, or both, and often a door that has dropped or racked so the gap is uneven across the width. We measure the real gap along the full door, fit a threshold and sweep to suit, and correct the door itself if it is sitting crooked, because sealing the bottom of a crooked door only moves the draft up the side.
Our house is only a few years old and the doors already will not latch. Is that normal?
It is very common in the newer Clarington subdivisions. A new house settles for the first couple of years and the openings move with it, so latches start missing and interior doors bind. Re-shimming, adjusting the hinges and resetting the strikes normally sorts it, and it is a much smaller job than people expect.
