Vaughan doors miss the latch when freeze–thaw shifts the jamb and multipoints drift on newer Maple and Woodbridge builds.
Doors that will not close in Vaughan cold
On Vaughan routes, head binds and latch-side rubs are usually hinge geometry or frozen weatherstrip — not a write-off. Maple & Main Door Co. frees the door, then tunes.
Threshold ice on Woodbridge and Concord is cleared as a hazard before adjustments.

Common questions
Quick answers to what homeowners and property managers ask most about this problem.
My Vaughan door closed fine last month. Why won't it latch now?
In Vaughan, sudden cold snaps contract metal hardware and wood frames at different rates. The most common fix is relocating the strike plate a few millimetres to where the latch now lands. Most visits resolve this the same day.
Should I replace my door or just adjust the strike?
In Vaughan, start with a frame assessment. If the frame is sound and the slab isn't warped, strike or hinge adjustments almost always fix a winter latch failure. Replacement is the last resort, not the first response.
How long does a door realignment take?
In Vaughan, hinge tightening and strike plate relocation typically take 30–60 minutes on site. If shimming is needed, allow 1–2 hours. We explain what we find before we start work.
