Residential doors: hinges, frames and latches

Many homes here were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and their doors usually need hinge adjustment, strike repairs or new weatherstripping rather than a new door. Before replacing seals, we check the bottom of the frame: if the wood at the sill has gone soft, new weatherstripping won’t last. Original strike plates are often thin and held by short screws, so we replace them with heavier plates fastened into the framing. If the frame itself is the problem, see door frame repair.

Commercial doors on local business units

A business entrance that won’t latch, or a closer that no longer controls the door, affects both security and accessibility during business hours. We repair closers, hinges, pivots, locks and storefront hardware, and we’ll provide a flat-rate quote before we start.

Garage-to-house man-door

The door between the garage and the house should close and latch every time. When its hinges sag or the latch misses, it leaves a gap in your home’s security and lets cold air in. We repair this door separately from overhead garage door work.

Urgent securing

If your door was forced or won’t lock, see break-in door repair and emergency door repair. Same-day emergency repair is available; call to confirm the earliest appointment.

FAQ

Door repair questions in Bells Corners

Common questions we hear from Bells Corners homeowners about doors that stick, won't lock, or let in a draft.

Why does my Bells Corners door behave differently in winter than in summer?

+

Wood doors and frames swell in humid summer weather and shrink in dry winter air, and frost in the ground can move the frame slightly. A door that closes perfectly in July can bind in January or rattle by spring. We adjust the door for that movement and, where the change is significant, recommend the seal and hinge and hardware fixes that keep it closing year-round.

Do you cover the areas around Bells Corners too?

+

Yes. We also serve the neighbouring west-end communities, including Nepean, Kanata and Stittsville. If you’re not sure whether we cover your address, call and we’ll confirm.

Can you repair the door frame, not just the door, in Bells Corners?

+

Yes. Often the door is fine and the frame is the problem — split at the strike, soft at the base, or racked out of square as the house settled. We repair and reinforce frames through our door frame repair service, and rebuild rotted sections rather than just filling them.

How quickly can you get to a door repair in Bells Corners?

+

Same-day emergency repair is available for doors that won’t lock or close; call to confirm the earliest appointment. Other repairs are booked at a time that suits you. See emergency door repair for urgent help.

My Bells Corners door sticks and is hard to open — what causes that?

+

Usually the door has dropped out of position. Worn hinges, a settled frame or seasonal swelling let it rub the jamb or threshold. We re-hang and shim the door and ease only the edges that still bind, rather than planing away sound wood. If the frame itself has shifted, see door frame repair.

Can you fix a Bells Corners door that won't latch or lock properly?

+

Yes. A door that won’t latch usually has a strike alignment problem: the bolt no longer lines up with the strike plate because the door has sagged. We realign the strike and, if the lock itself is worn or seized, repair or replace it through our lock repair service. Replacement parts depend on the existing hardware.
