Are Your Doors or Windows Sticking, Jamming, or Hard to Open? Here’s What to Do.

Have you noticed your door scraping the floor? Or a window that won’t budge no matter how hard you push?
You’re not alone — at GC Trades, this is one of the most common issues we’re called to fix across Auckland.

🚪Why Do Doors and Windows Stick?

There are several reasons, including:

• Building movement or settling

• Moisture causing timber to swell

• Worn or loose hinges

• Misaligned tracks in sliding/bifold doors

• Paint build-up or frame warping

Even small shifts can cause big frustrations — and over time, they put stress on the frame, hardware, and seals.

🛠️ How GC Trades Fixes It

We don’t just “free it up temporarily” — we repair it properly. Our technicians will:

• Identify and adjust hinge alignment

• Plane or trim swollen timber doors

• Realign or replace sliding door tracks and rollers

• Lubricate or replace stiff window stays or hinges

• Replace damaged weather seals to prevent further swelling

We ensure your door or window opens and closes smoothly without scraping, jamming, or bouncing back.
