If your wooden door suddenly starts jamming or becomes tough to open and close, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common problems homeowners and builders face.
But what causes this issue, and more importantly, how can it be prevented?
At Altwood, we’ve spent years studying wood behavior and perfecting the right mix of materials to make flush doors that don’t swell, crack, or jam—even in tough weather conditions.
Whether you’re in Asansol, Odisha, Jharkhand, or anywhere across the North East, we’re here to help you build better with reliable wooden solutions.
Here are the most common reasons:
Wood absorbs moisture from the air, especially during monsoons or in humid regions. This causes it to expand—leading to swelling and tightness in door frames.

Many flush doors are made with low-grade or improperly seasoned materials, like softwood fillers or badly bonded plywood sheets. These doors soak up moisture easily and lose their shape over time.
Doors that are not sealed properly—especially at the edges—allow moisture to seep in. Over time, this leads to warping, swelling, and eventually, a jammed door.
If the wood used in the door doesn’t match in density or grain pattern, the door reacts unevenly to temperature and moisture. This causes misalignment and jamming.
At Altwood, we take these problems seriously. That’s why our flush doors are designed to last—through rainy seasons, summer heat, and everyday use.
We don’t use shortcuts. Our plywood is carefully chosen and bonded under high pressure to resist moisture.

Our flush doors often include a block board core made from treated pinewood or alternate plywood. This prevents warping while keeping the door lightweight.
Every Altwood flush door is sealed on all sides—including top and bottom—to block moisture entry. This is why our doors resist jamming even in humid areas like Ranchi, Asansol, and North East India.
