April humidity and temperature swings can affect doors and thresholds. Doors that stick, draft, or fail to close properly are common this time of year.
Why This Happens
Wood expands in higher humidity, hinges loosen, and thresholds may warp after months of winter dryness. Small issues now can lead to bigger problems during the summer heat.
What Homeowners Can Do
Check each exterior and interior door for sticking, uneven gaps, and squeaks. Tighten screws, lubricate hinges, and adjust thresholds as needed. Minor fixes keep doors functional and energy-efficient.
