Door Repair Ottawa

Central Ottawa has some of the city’s oldest housing alongside some of its newest, often on the same street, and each type of building has its own door problems: original wood doors and frames that have shifted over the decades, condo and patio doors with worn rollers and hardware, and storefront entrances that are opened and closed all day.

Fix My Door Now Ottawa provides residential and commercial door repair across Ottawa and the National Capital Region. We’ll provide a flat-rate quote before starting the repair, and our work is backed by a written parts and labour warranty. That includes everything from a heritage front door repair to a condo patio door or a commercial entrance that won’t close. If a door is past repair, we can quote front door installation. For powered entrances, see automatic door repair, and for overhead doors, garage door repair.

Century homes and heritage doors

In older neighbourhoods such as the Glebe, Sandy Hill and New Edinburgh, many homes still have their original doors and frames. Over the years the wood moves: thresholds soften and rot, jambs swell and shrink until the door binds or stops latching, and strike plates drift out of line as the house settles. Many owners would rather keep a door that suits the house than replace it. We adjust and re-hang the door, repair the frame, reset the strike into solid wood and fit modern weatherstripping that keeps the cold out without spoiling the look of the entry.

Condos, infill and modern entries

Condos and newer homes in Centretown, Hintonburg and across the core have different problems: multipoint locks that have gone out of adjustment, balcony and patio doors dragging on worn rollers, and weatherstripping that has compressed flat. We adjust and repair multipoint locks, and replace rollers and seals so sliding doors run and seal properly, usually without replacing the door. If a sealed glass unit has fogged, we’ll explain the repair options.

Emergency repair and board-up

A door that won’t lock or close after a break-in or forced entry can’t be left overnight. We repair kicked-in doors, split frames, broken glass and failed locks, and same-day emergency repair is available; call to confirm the earliest appointment. If a part has to be ordered, we make the door secure, or board up the opening, until the permanent repair is done.

Commercial and storefront doors

Commercial streets such as Bank Street, Elgin Street, Wellington West and the ByWard Market rely on aluminum storefront and commercial doors that open and close all day. Common problems include closers that no longer control the door, worn pivots and hinges, failed locks or panic hardware, and frames that have moved out of alignment. We repair commercial entrances so they open, close and lock properly, and we work around your business hours where we can. For fire-rated doors, see Fire-Rated Doors Ottawa.
