Door frame repair in Stittsville: split jambs, soft or rotted sills, frames that have moved out of square, and strike reinforcement after a forced entry.
We repair split, soft and out-of-square door frames on homes and businesses in Stittsville. We’ll give you a flat-rate quote before starting the repair. Same-day emergency door repair is available. Call us to confirm the earliest appointment.
As a house settles, a door frame can rack slightly, with one corner higher than the other. The door then rubs at the top or misses the latch even when the hinges are tight.
We check the frame for plumb and square as it is now, re-shim it, and adjust the hinges and strike to match. Where hinge mortises have loosened or the wood around them has split, we repair those areas so the screws hold.
A rebuilt jamb can hold the strike securely again, but a lock that has been forced against a damaged frame may not be dependable. The Stittsville lock specialists for damaged entries can test the mechanism, correct hardware issues and provide new keying when appropriate.
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.

If your deadbolt feels solid but the door flexes when pushed near the lock, the strike side of the frame may be weak. A heavier strike plate with long screws into the framing, and repair of any cracking around it, makes a real difference to how the door resists being forced.
