Door Repair & Installation in Rochester, MI

A door that rubs, swings open by itself or needs a shoulder to latch is usually telling you something about alignment, hardware or the opening around it. The right repair starts with figuring out why the door stopped working smoothly.

Fix the fit before replacing what may still work

Door problems can come from loose hinges, worn screws, seasonal swelling, shifting jambs, damaged stops, failed weatherstripping or hardware that is no longer aligned. Many of those issues can be corrected without replacing the entire door.

When replacement is the better option, careful measurements matter. A door must sit correctly in the opening, maintain even reveals, operate smoothly and latch securely. Exterior doors add another concern: the threshold, sweep and perimeter weatherseal need to work together to limit drafts and water entry.

Identify whether the problem is hardware, alignment, seasonal movement or damage.
Repair and adjust reusable components where practical.
Install replacement parts or a new door when that is the better long-term option.
Test swing, clearances, latch operation and weatherseal before completion.

Questions

What homeowners usually ask

Why does my door stick only in certain seasons?

Wood movement, humidity and temperature changes can alter clearances. Loose hinges or a slightly shifted frame can make seasonal changes more noticeable.

Can you repair a door that will not latch?

Often yes. The cause may be hinge sag, strike-plate alignment, worn hardware or movement in the frame.

Do you install prehung and slab doors?

Both may be possible depending on the existing opening and condition of the jamb. The project should be measured before materials are purchased.

Can weatherstripping help with drafts?

Yes, when the door and threshold are otherwise in good condition. Worn seals and sweeps are common sources of air leakage around exterior doors.
