We don’t assume the whole door needs replacing. In many cases the problem can be fixed by repairing or adjusting the hinges, frame, lock area, weatherstripping, threshold or other hardware.
You may notice:
These symptoms can have several different causes, so we inspect the complete opening before recommending parts.
A door that has become difficult to open or close is often no longer sitting correctly in the frame.
Possible causes include:
We check where the door is rubbing and inspect the hinges and frame to find out what’s causing it.
Sometimes an adjustment is enough. In other cases, the hinge mounting area or frame needs repair before the door can be properly aligned.
If a latch or deadbolt suddenly stops lining up, the lock itself may still be working. A small change in the door’s position can move the latch away from the strike.
We check:
Once the door is sitting correctly, we can tell whether the lock or other hardware also needs repair. That way, you don’t pay for a new lock when the real problem is alignment.
The frame can be the source of the problem even when the door itself is still in good condition.
Common frame issues include:
If the frame can be repaired securely, there may be no reason to replace the complete door unit.
We repair split jambs, loose hinge areas and damage around the lock. See door frame repair Ottawa for details.
A draft around an exterior door can come from worn weatherstripping, a damaged sweep, poor threshold contact, frame gaps, or door misalignment.
We check how the door contacts the seals before replacing weatherstripping.
If the door is sitting too far from one side of the frame, a new seal alone may not solve the problem.
Cold, snow and moisture through an Ottawa winter make worn seals and existing gaps much more noticeable.
For more on seals, sweeps and thresholds, see weatherstripping Ottawa.
The bottom of the door is another common source of drafts and water entry.
Problems may include:
We inspect the sweep and threshold together.
A thicker sweep will not necessarily solve the problem if the door itself is sitting unevenly or the threshold is damaged.
If your door is sagging, rubbing against the frame, or difficult to latch, worn or loose hinges could be responsible. We check the hinges and their mounting points before adjusting or replacing any hardware. See our hinge and hardware repair service.
Front entrances need to open smoothly, close evenly, seal properly, and lock securely.
We repair common front-door problems including:
If the door itself is still in good condition, many of these problems can be repaired without replacing the complete entrance. See front door repair Ottawa.
Sliding and patio doors use different hardware from standard hinged doors.
Common problems include:
We repair rollers, tracks, locks and seals on sliding and patio doors. See patio door repair Ottawa and sliding door repair Ottawa for more.
Forced entry or accidental impact can damage more than the lock. The strike area, frame, hinges, and door itself may all be affected.
We inspect the whole door and frame to see what needs repairing. See break-in door repair Ottawa.
If the door can’t be secured, call us. Same-day emergency repair is available; call to confirm the earliest appointment. See emergency door repair Ottawa.
A damaged or hard-to-use door doesn’t automatically need replacing. Repair often makes sense when the door itself is still in good condition and the problem is limited to:
Replacement may be more appropriate when the door itself is severely warped, deteriorated, extensively damaged, or no longer suitable for the opening.
We find out what’s actually wrong first, then explain the practical repair and replacement options.
If you’re not sure what has failed, send us photos of:
A short video can also help if the door is sticking, sagging, rattling, or failing to close properly.
