Interior doors not latching properly — Limassol, Limassol
When multiple interior doors in a home suddenly stop latching — the bolt no longer lines up with the strike plate — it is often a sign that the foundation has shifted. Differential settlement causes the door frames to rack out of square, so the latch and strike plate no longer meet. Unlike a single sticking door caused by humidity, foundation-related misalignment affects several doors on the same level and may be accompanied by diagonal drywall cracks above the door frames. A foundation specialist can measure floor-level deviations, identify whether the movement is ongoing, and recommend underpinning, piers, or slab stabilization to halt further settlement and restore the structure to level.
