Door won't latch or close properly — Haarlem, Noord-Holland
A door that won't latch, sticks, or swings open on its own is more than an annoyance — it affects security, energy efficiency, and noise isolation. Causes range from loose hinges and a misaligned strike plate to a warped frame or settling foundation. A handyman can diagnose the root cause, realign the door, adjust hardware, and fix the frame so it latches securely every time.
