Doors & Windows That Stick
A door or window that feels different can be worth noting. Here is a calm way to describe the change and keep useful context without jumping to a conclusion about why it is happening.
What you may notice
A door may rub at the frame, latch differently, need a firmer push, or leave an uneven gap. A window may be harder to open, close, or lock.
What to keep in mind
Humidity, weatherstripping, hinges, hardware, paint, and ordinary use can affect how an opening operates. A sticky door or window alone does not identify a cause or mean repair is needed.
What to document
• Which door or window, and which room
• Photos of the full opening and the edge or latch area
• When it happens and whether it is occasional or consistent
A useful next step
A clear record can make your next conversation easier.
