We also repair exterior doors at rural homes around Kinburn. If a side entrance or workshop door has damaged hinges, a faulty lock, or a loose frame, contact us with the door details so we can confirm the available repair options.
If more than one door needs attention, mention it when you request a quote. It’s usually more practical to deal with all of them in one trip than to come back for each door separately.
Older farmhouses and country homes often have door openings that don’t match today’s standard sizes, and the doors were sometimes trimmed to fit long ago. That can make it hard to find replacement parts, or a pre-hung door that fits without rebuilding the opening. Before recommending anything, we check the frame, hinges and hardware and look for a repair that works with the existing opening. The usual options are to repair and re-hang the existing door, fit a new door cut to the opening, or rebuild the frame to take a standard pre-hung unit. We’ll explain the cost and trade-offs of each.
Rot at the bottom of the jamb is another common problem. It usually starts where water collects at the sill — snow piled against the door, run-off from the roof, or ground that slopes toward the house. We cut out the damaged wood and replace it, but if the water source isn’t dealt with, the new wood will eventually rot too, so we’ll point out what’s causing it. Our door frame repair page explains the process.
Workshop, garage and outbuilding doors may use heavier hinges, hasps or sliding hardware than a house door, and not every type is within our services. We repair hinges, latches, locks and frames on many standard walk-in doors. Send us the door type and a photo first — especially for large sliding doors or specialised hardware — so we can confirm the work is within our repair services.
A lock can freeze when moisture gets into the cylinder and freezes overnight. A de-icing spray will usually free it; skip the oil, which thickens in the cold, and don’t force the key — a bent or broken key can turn a frozen lock into a lock replacement. If a lock keeps freezing, it may be worn or letting in water and is worth repairing or replacing.
Wood doors also swell and shrink with the seasons, so a door that fits in summer may bind or stop latching in winter. Adjusting the hinges and strike usually fixes this without planing the door.
Damaged weatherstripping lets cold air, snow and moisture in around an exterior door. Signs include daylight around the edges, a draft along the floor and frost on the inside of the frame. We check the seals, sweep, threshold and door alignment before replacing parts, because new seals won’t work on a door that doesn’t close evenly. More on our weatherstripping service.
When a door is forced, the jamb usually splits at the strike plate. We can secure the door, repair or replace the split section, and reinforce the strike with a heavier plate and long screws that reach the framing behind the jamb. The same upgrade helps on older doors where the wood around the strike has worn or cracked.
We also serve nearby Carp, Arnprior, Kanata and Beckwith, and provide entry door repair in Almonte.
