Older wood doors are often worth keeping. The usual problems are fixable: the frame has shifted so the door binds, worn hinges let the door drop onto the sill, or an old mortise lock has stiffened and needs servicing.
We re-hang and re-shim doors, tighten or replace hinges, free up seized locks where parts allow, and ease only the edges that still rub once the door is realigned. Where the frame is split or soft, we repair the damaged section rather than replacing the whole frame. See door frame repair for more on how we repair frames.
Newer doors can need repairs too. Handlesets can work loose, hinges can sag if their screws only reach the jamb, and weatherstripping compresses with use. Tightening or replacing the hardware, adding longer hinge screws into the framing and fitting new seals usually fixes these doors without replacing the door.
A front door that rubs against the frame or no longer latches properly usually has loose hinges, worn hardware or an alignment problem. We check the door and frame together before deciding what needs adjusting or replacing, so we’re not just swapping a part that will fail again.
We also repair the door between the garage and the house — hinges, latches and weatherstripping. Some of these doors have specific hardware requirements, so we check what’s installed before replacing anything.
If your deadbolt is difficult to turn or the latch no longer catches, the strike plate may be out of alignment. We’ll check the hinges, frame, and locking hardware before deciding what needs adjusting or replacing.
The wood around a strike can compress or split over time, and some strikes are held by short screws that only reach the jamb. In either case, a heavier strike plate fastened with long screws into the framing behind the jamb makes the door much harder to force. For worn or seized locks, see lock repair.
Is your sliding patio door getting harder to open? Worn or broken rollers, debris in the track, or a damaged track are the usual causes. We clean and check the track, adjust the rollers and replace them when they’re worn, using rollers that match the door so the panel slides straight. We also repair sliding door locks and handles and replace worn pile weatherstripping. More on patio door repair.
A drafty door usually needs new seals, a new sweep or a threshold adjustment — and sometimes an alignment fix first, so the door closes evenly against the new weatherstripping. See weatherstripping. For overhead garage doors, see our page on garage door repair in Carleton Place.
