As long as the doors look normal and don't make any strange sounds, most people don't even think that they need extra care. At least every six months, door constructions need a special coating, hinge lubrication and surface cleaning. If you don't do this regularly, you will soon notice that the doors have begun to sag, hang on the hinges or scratch the floor. The first signs of malfunction are also problems with opening/closing the door structure.
How to fix a box problem
Often there are also problems with the door frame. It starts to wobble or spoil the appearance of the finish - the paint is peeled off or the veneer is peeled off. This problem can be solved quite easily. Carefully remove the casing, then remove the door leaf. Return the box to its original flat shape with the help of simple tools and fix it again. The opening must be adjusted to the door leaf so that the doors can be opened and closed freely.
To strengthen the construction, several holes (usually two or three) must be drilled in the door and lock stands. We drive steel pins or hardwood pins into the holes. Then we return the blade back into place and carefully fasten the casing.
If there is a problem with the hinges
If you have a problem opening and closing the door, such as the door scratches and scratches the floor or hangs heavily, you will probably need to adjust the hinges. First, inspect the top hinge, and if necessary, tighten the screws a little. First of all, check how firmly the upper loop holds the upper loop: if necessary, tighten the screws. If the door is not settled tightly, it can be tightened with a wire ring or metal washer. However, this is only possible if the door construction is equipped with removable hinges.
If the screws cannot be turned or cannot be turned, you may have to change the fastener to another one with a longer size. You can also seal the screw holes with matches, or move the loops below/above them.
How to correct the web geometry
Sometimes, looking at the door, it becomes clear that the problem is in the canvas. And to be more precise, with its geometry. This happens if the canvas has absorbed moisture and swollen, or, conversely, has become loose because of the heat. It is also possible to have a thick protective layer on the canvas after regular lacquering and staining.
To eliminate the problem with the box, close the door tightly and look at the gaps. If the gap is small or non-existent, you can simply stitch the tie. If the gaps are large, it is likely that the door was made of badly dried wood and dried out during operation. I.e. the design is sagging and can cause you a lot of problems. You can fix the problem in the following way. First of all, the hinges should be adjusted so that the door can be pulled upwards. Attach the hinge bar to the end of the web and touch it flush to the bottom. Side clearances can also be eliminated by screwing the strip onto the hinge end of the web. To prevent cracks, fill in the joints between the tie and the strips, clean them and paint them.
Reinforcing Filenok
If your door's loose, the slits might not be the only problem. Films can also loosen and stick to the canvas. To correct the situation, the door should be carefully removed from the hinges, disassembled and cleaned of old glue and dirt. Then, small bars are connected and glued together again, the panels are inserted into place and the construction is assembled.
If there are cracks on the door
The cracks on the cracks can also be hidden so that no one will even guess about their existence. It's a pretty time-consuming process, but it's worth it. Lay the door on a flat surface, remove all the coating with sandpaper or special means, sand down the fine skin, apply putty on the wood, again pass the skin on a dry surface. If the slots are large, they can be covered with wooden inserts lubricated with glue. If there are any irregularities, it is recommended to fill them up and primer the surface. The final step is to varnish the door.
How to repair a metal door
Unlike wooden doors, metal doors are distinguished by their durability and reliability. At the same time, if there are breakdowns, it will be much harder to fix them. The most common problem with a metal door is a misalignment. This is mainly due to the fact that the metal is very heavy on the hinges, and they simply can not withstand such a load. The situation can be corrected by replacing the old loops with new ones. The hinges are also subject to natural wear and tear. If they are screwed on rather than welded, it will not be difficult to replace them.
There are also cases of distortion of the door frame, which can be eliminated by means of wedges, which have to be driven under the base of the structure.

If the door is rusty, you will have to perform a number of difficult and time-consuming actions to restore it. First of all, it will be necessary to dismantle the accessories - gasket and fittings. Clean the rust with a metal brush. Also it is necessary to remove the peeled paint.
After the door has been cleaned, the surface should be skinned with solvent. The affected areas should be patched, then sanded again and primed with aerosol primer. Next, apply the first coat of paint, and if there are leaks, they will have to be sanded. From above we put one more layer and let the doors dry. When the paint dries, the door can be sealed and fittings installed.
