Many entry doors fitted during renovations over the last few decades are steel insulated doors. When one sags, rubs or stops sealing, the door itself is usually fine; the cause is worn hinges, a strike that has moved, or weatherstripping that has flattened.
We adjust or replace the hinges, reset the strike, and replace the compression or magnetic weatherstripping so the door seals again. A dent or rust at the bottom of the door doesn’t always mean replacement; we’ll tell you what can be repaired.
On older houses, the entry door and frame have usually been adjusted, repainted and repaired more than once. We look at the whole opening: hinge condition, frame square, the strike, the threshold and the seals.
Often the door can stay. Re-hanging it on new hinges, repairing soft or split frame sections and fitting new weatherstripping gives a door that closes, locks and seals properly. If the door itself is warped or rotted through, we’ll explain the replacement options.

Three small details decide how well an entry door resists being forced: the strike plate, the screws that hold it, and the hinge screws. We fit a heavier strike with long screws into the framing, replace short hinge screws, and check that the deadbolt throws fully into the strike.
We also repair doors in L’Orignal and Vankleek Hill in Champlain Township, in Chute-à-Blondeau in East Hawkesbury, and in nearby communities. Call with your address and we’ll confirm when we can get there.
Frozen locks usually have moisture in the cylinder. A de-icing spray will normally free them, and pulling hard on the key can break it or damage the latch.
If the door also binds or won’t latch in winter, the wood has probably shrunk or the seals have stiffened. Adjusting the hinges and strike, and replacing worn weatherstripping, helps the door close properly through the season.
