MOST COMMON CUSTOMER REQUESTS FOR DOOR REPAIRS

1. Door Misalignment and Difficult Operation

One of the most common complaints is that the door has shifted, making it difficult to open or close. This can result from building settlement (especially in new constructions), loose hinges, poor installation, or a warped frame. While many try to fix it themselves, unprofessional adjustments often worsen the issue. Our technicians provide a full diagnosis, realign the structure, replace or tighten hinges, and restore proper frame geometry for smooth, quiet operation.

2. Squeaking and Noisy Functioning

Squeaky doors are a daily annoyance—especially for interior doors used frequently. The cause can be worn or dirty hinges, uneven pressure, or mismatched materials. We go beyond simple lubrication by identifying the source of the noise and, if necessary, replacing the hinges with high-quality, long-lasting ones to eliminate the problem for good.

3. Issues with Locks, Latches, and Hardware

Another common issue: locks that stick, keys that turn with difficulty, loose or broken handles. This is especially serious for entry doors, where security is paramount. We repair and replace all types of locks—mechanical, lever, cylinder, magnetic, even electronic—and restore or upgrade door hardware to ensure full functionality and safety.

4. Damage to the Door Leaf and Decorative Elements

Visible wear and tear—dents, chips, scratches, cracks—are especially noticeable on interior or designer doors. Many people assume they need a full replacement, but in most cases, we can restore the appearance through refinishing: sanding, filling, laminating, or replacing individual panels or glass inserts. It’s faster and more affordable than buying a new door.

5. Compromised Insulation and Sealing

If your home feels colder or outside noise is getting in, the door may no longer seal properly. Worn-out weatherstripping or a loose fit to the frame are typical causes. We replace old seals, adjust the door’s fit, and upgrade insulation—especially important before the cold season to improve comfort and energy efficiency.

Many customers initially try DIY fixes—tightening hinges, spraying oil, taping seals. Sometimes that works, but more often, it leads to bigger issues. A professional doesn’t just fix the surface problem—they assess the entire door system: hardware, frame, insulation, and wear.

We don’t upsell—we recommend only what’s truly necessary. Thanks to our experience and professional tools, most repairs are completed in a single visit. Your door will once again be smooth, quiet, secure, and efficient—without the cost and hassle of full replacement.
