Door frame repair in Orléans: split jambs, soft or rotted sills, frames that have moved out of square, and strike reinforcement after a forced entry. Service is available in French and English.
Door frame problems usually show up as a door that won’t latch, a strike that won’t hold or soft wood at the sill. We repair them throughout Orléans and provide a flat-rate quote before starting the repair. Same-day emergency repair is available; call to confirm the earliest appointment.
Hinge and strike screws loosen over the years as the wood around them wears. Once that happens, the door can sag, rub or stop latching even though the door itself is fine.
We repair stripped screw holes, replace worn hinge and strike areas with new wood where needed, and reset the door so the gaps are even and the latch engages cleanly.
Repairing the frame gives the strike plates a dependable anchor again, while the latch, deadbolt and cylinder still need to be checked separately. Orléans locksmith services for entry hardware can complete that inspection and rekey or replace parts that no longer provide reliable security.

Press the bottom of the jamb with a screwdriver: if it’s soft, water has been getting in. We cut out the damaged wood, splice in new material or replace the sill, then reseal so water runs away from the door rather than into the frame.
Many newer frames are sound but have a weak strike installation: a light strike plate held by short screws into a thin jamb. If the door is forced, the jamb splits at the strike.
We fit a heavier strike plate fastened with long screws into the framing behind the jamb, and repair any existing splitting. It’s a small job that makes the door much harder to force.
