Why does my aluminium door stick or drag in wet weather?

Unlike timber, aluminium does not expand in moisture — sticking in wet weather usually points to worn hinges, a dropped frame, or a failing closer.

What causes a draught around an aluminium door?

Draughts are usually caused by worn brush strips or rubber seals, a misaligned door, or a door closer not pulling the door fully shut.
