Heavy wood front doors on older homes often stop sitting square in their openings. The usual causes are worn hinges, seasonal swelling and a frame that has moved over time. The door rubs at the top corner, scrapes the threshold or misses the latch.
We start with the hinges: worn hinges are replaced, loose screws are replaced with longer ones that reach the framing, and the hinge side is shimmed. Only then do we ease any edge that still binds, and we seal the bare wood afterward. This lets the original door stay in service.
Many older entries have glass sidelights and a transom, sometimes with leaded or coloured glass. If a pane is cracked or loose, we can assess it and explain the options. Some leaded-glass repairs need a glass specialist, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case.
Many older front doors still have mortise locks: a lock body set into a pocket in the edge of the door. When one sticks, the cause may be inside the mechanism or simply a door that no longer lines up with the strike. We check the alignment first, then clean, adjust or repair the lock where parts allow. If parts aren’t available, we’ll explain which replacement locks fit the existing pocket.
Old doors in old frames often leak air at the threshold and along the edges. We fit weatherstripping that suits the door and frame, adjust or replace the threshold and sweep, and correct the door’s alignment so it closes evenly against the seals.
Renovations often add modern doors: rear additions, basement walkouts, garden doors and interior doors. We repair these too, including patio door rollers and tracks, multipoint locks, handlesets and hinges.
We also serve nearby Centretown just across the canal.
