Fixing our front door

[mtbc]

Our building has communal areas, our flat's front door is within. Recently, the locks stopped working well, as if the door suddenly didn't quite fit any more. I peered at the door in some puzzlement, opening and closing it, trying to understand what had changed, if a hinge was failing or whatever. It was R. who figured it out and fixed it: a small stone had somehow lodged under the thin piece of wood running along the floor under the door, pushing that wood up a little.

Heh. Kind of embarrassing when it's the simple stuff.

I like to say that what matters is how R. and I are as a team. (-:

It is nice when one finds a simple fix. That reminds me of when one of my interior doors started rattling a lot. I considered various ways to try to fix it, to make the door more snug against the frame so it wouldn't rattle. Then looking online, I finally found all I had to do was slightly bend the metal tab on the strike plate.
