Hi, I have a timber front door which keeps changing shape. Last winter I had to move the position of the latches and locks, and shave some timber off the edge, as it just kept expanding.
This winter it's worse. Two weeks ago I did the whole exercise again, and shaved loads off the edge. Now today I can hardly open or close the door. How much can a peice of timber keep moving? What am I doing wrong? How can I stop it?
I'm wondering if I need to seal it better. I use woodstain, which says on the tin it seals the wood too. Is there something else I should use?
Thanks for some advice.
