Common Causes of Operational Issues

Several factors can lead to difficulty operating your windows or doors. Some are easy to spot, while others may require a closer inspection:

  • Warping or Swelling: Wood and composite materials can expand in humid conditions or shift with seasonal temperature changes, making operation stiff or uneven.
  • Misalignment: Settling foundations or improper installation can throw window and door frames out of square, affecting how they move.
  • Hardware Fatigue: Over time, locks, hinges, rollers, and cranks can loosen or fail entirely.
  • Obstruction in Tracks or Jambs: Dirt, paint buildup, or even insect debris can block smooth movement.
  • Seal or Frame Damage: When seals crack or insulation fails, it can lead to moisture intrusion that worsens mechanical performance.
