Older wooden doors usually develop problems gradually. The hinge screws loosen in the jamb, the door drops toward the latch side, and before long it’s rubbing at the top corner and the latch no longer lines up with the strike plate. Worn hinge pins make it worse, because the door can rock on its hinges as well as sag.
We start with the hinges. Worn hinges are replaced, stripped screw holes are repaired, and longer screws are driven through the jamb into the framing so the hinge side holds. Then we check the frame: if the jamb is loose, split or soft, the door won’t stay in adjustment until the frame is fixed. Older doors are also often a non-standard size or thickness, or have hinges and locks with unusual spacing, so off-the-shelf replacement hardware may need the door or frame modified to fit. We’ll explain that before we start. If the door itself is sound, repairing it is often a practical alternative to replacement. More on hinge & hardware repair Ottawa.
Moisture tends to damage the lower part of a wooden door frame first, near the threshold, where rain and melting snow collect. Soft wood, cracks, peeling paint at the bottom of the jamb, and hinge or strike screws that won’t hold are the usual signs.
We cut out the damaged section and fit new wood, or replace the threshold if it has rotted or come loose. If the jamb has split around the strike, we repair it and fit a stronger strike plate. See door frame repair Ottawa.
If your door won’t latch or the deadbolt has become difficult to turn, the problem may be with the lock or the way the door sits in its frame. We check the latch, strike plate, hinges, and alignment before deciding which parts need repairing.
A deadbolt that turns easily with the door open but sticks when it’s closed is rubbing on the strike, which is an alignment fix. A lock that’s stiff either way is worn inside. Our lock repair & replacement Ottawa service covers deadbolts, handlesets and strike plates.
A sliding patio door can become difficult to move when its rollers wear out or the track is damaged. We check the rollers, track, and locking mechanism to determine whether an adjustment or replacement part is needed.
Most sliding doors have adjustment screws that raise or lower the rollers, which can fix a door that drags or doesn’t meet the latch. Worn or broken rollers need replacing, and a dented track may need repair. We also repair handles and locks and replace worn pile weatherstripping on the panel edges. See patio door repair Ottawa.
Drafts around an exterior door usually come from compressed weatherstripping, a worn door sweep or a door that no longer closes evenly against its seals. We correct the alignment and replace the seals; see weatherstripping Ottawa.
