If your door is rubbing against the frame or needs an extra push to latch, something has usually moved out of alignment. The most common cause is a loose or worn top hinge, which lets the door drop toward the latch side. A frame that has shifted, or a door that has swollen with humidity, causes the same symptoms. We check where the door is rubbing and how the gaps look around it, then tighten or replace the hinges and re-hang the door before trimming anything. If the jamb is split or soft, see door frame repair.
On commercial doors, the same symptoms often trace back to a worn closer or heavy-duty hinges that have loosened, and we check those as well.
If the latch doesn’t catch or your deadbolt has become difficult to turn, the strike plate may no longer line up with the lock. We check the door’s alignment and the condition of the frame before adjusting or replacing the hardware.
A strike plate only lines up if the door hangs where it was installed. Once the door sags, the latch rides on the edge of the strike instead of dropping into it, and the deadbolt rubs instead of sliding freely. Sometimes adjusting the hinges is enough; sometimes the strike has to be moved or its opening enlarged. If the wood around the strike has split, we repair it and fit a heavier strike plate fastened with long screws into the framing, where the door and frame construction allow it. For worn or seized locks, see lock repair.
Feeling a draft around an exterior door? The weatherstripping may have compressed or torn, the door sweep may be worn, or the door may not be closing evenly against the seals. We check the alignment first, then replace seals and sweeps and adjust the threshold where it’s adjustable. See weatherstripping.
If your patio door is difficult to slide, worn rollers or a damaged track may be responsible. We’ll inspect the moving parts and determine whether adjustment or replacement hardware is needed. We also repair handles and locks that no longer catch. More on patio door repair.
If the glass in a door or patio panel is broken, or fogged between the panes, see broken glass repair. Replacement glass units are usually made to measure, so they’re measured on the first visit and installed once they arrive.
We also serve nearby Perth and Merrickville.
