Professional Door Installation, Repair and Maintenance

Professional door services help homes and businesses remain secure, accessible, comfortable, and easy to use. From installing a new entry door to repairing a damaged frame, adjusting a sliding patio door, or maintaining a commercial entrance, proper workmanship can improve both the appearance and performance of a property.

Doors are used repeatedly every day and must operate with multiple components working together. The door slab, frame, hinges, rollers, tracks, locks, handles, closers, seals, glass, thresholds, and surrounding structure all affect how well a door opens, closes, seals, and locks.

Door installation, door repair, and preventive door maintenance are the three primary services offered by a full-service door company. Additional services may include door replacement, frame repair, lock and hardware replacement, glass repair, weatherstripping, sliding door service, storefront door service, automatic door maintenance, and garage door repair.

Professional Door Installation

A new door must fit the opening, operate smoothly, latch correctly, seal appropriately, and work with the surrounding wall and floor. Even a high-quality door can perform poorly if the frame is out of square, the opening is improperly sized, the hinges are misaligned, or the threshold and weatherstripping are installed incorrectly.

Professional installation may include measuring the opening, evaluating the frame, removing the existing door, preparing the rough opening, setting and securing the new unit, adjusting the door, installing hardware, sealing exterior gaps, and checking final operation.

Entry Door Installation

The main entry door is an important architectural and functional feature. It must provide convenient access while supporting security, weather resistance, insulation, and curb appeal.

Entry door materials may include:

• Fiberglass
• Steel
• Solid wood
• Engineered wood
• Aluminum
• Glass and metal combinations

Entry doors are available with decorative glass, sidelights, transoms, multipoint locks, smart locks, custom hardware, and many panel designs. Material selection should consider exposure, maintenance, security, energy performance, appearance, and budget.

Exterior Door Installation

Exterior doors include front entrances, back doors, side doors, service doors, basement doors, and doors connecting buildings to garages or outdoor areas. Proper exterior installation helps control air and water infiltration while providing dependable operation.

Exterior door work may involve flashing, sill preparation, threshold adjustment, insulation, sealant, weatherstripping, drip protection, trim installation, and correction of the surrounding opening.

Interior Door Installation

Interior doors provide privacy, sound control, room separation, and visual continuity throughout a property. They may be installed as hinged, sliding, folding, pocket, barn-style, French, or double doors.

Popular interior door applications include:

• Bedroom doors
• Bathroom doors
• Closet doors
• Pantry doors
• Laundry room doors
• Home office doors
• Basement doors
• Utility room doors
• Double and French doors
• Pocket and sliding doors

Interior doors are available in hollow-core, solid-core, wood, molded composite, glass, and other materials. Solid-core options may provide a heavier feel and improved sound control compared with many hollow-core doors.

Prehung Door Installation

A prehung door is supplied as a complete unit with the slab mounted in a frame. It can be a practical choice when the existing frame is damaged, severely out of square, improperly sized, or being completely renovated.

Installing a prehung unit allows the door, frame, hinges, stops, threshold, and weatherstripping to work as a coordinated system. The rough opening still requires accurate preparation and proper shimming, fastening, sealing, and adjustment.

Door Slab Installation

A slab installation replaces the door while retaining a suitable existing frame. The new slab must be sized and prepared for the existing hinge locations, lockset, latch, and frame clearances.

Door slab replacement is most successful when the frame is square, secure, undamaged, and correctly sized. A deteriorated or badly misaligned frame may require repair or replacement before a new slab can operate properly.

Front Door Replacement

A front door may need replacement because of damage, warping, drafts, poor operation, outdated appearance, security concerns, or deterioration around the frame. Replacement offers an opportunity to update the material, color, glass, hardware, insulation, and overall entrance design.

Front door replacement may involve:

• Removing the existing door and frame
• Inspecting the rough opening
• Repairing damaged framing or subflooring
• Installing a new prehung entry unit
• Adding sidelights or a transom
• Installing new locks and handles
• Adjusting the threshold and sweep
• Insulating and sealing the opening
• Installing interior and exterior trim
• Testing operation and locking

French Door Installation

French doors use paired hinged panels to create a wide opening and bring more glass and natural light into a room. They can be used between interior rooms or as exterior entrances to patios, decks, balconies, and gardens.

Accurate alignment is especially important because the two panels must meet correctly at the center. Hinges, flush bolts, astragals, weatherstripping, thresholds, and locking hardware must be adjusted as a complete system.

Sliding Patio Door Installation

Sliding patio doors provide broad views and conserve floor space because their panels move along tracks instead of swinging into the room. Options include traditional two-panel doors, three- and four-panel systems, telescoping doors, and large-format sliding glass walls.

Installation should account for opening size, structural support, sill preparation, drainage, flashing, panel alignment, roller adjustment, locking hardware, and weather seals. Large glass panels are heavy and require careful handling.

Storm and Screen Door Installation

Storm doors add an exterior layer in front of an entry door. Depending on the design, they may provide ventilation, glass protection, insect screening, and additional separation from outdoor conditions.

Screen doors and retractable screen systems allow airflow while helping limit insects. Accurate sizing, frame alignment, closer adjustment, latch positioning, and sweep installation are important for reliable operation.

Security Door Installation

Security doors are designed with reinforced materials, frames, hinges, screens, glass, locks, and attachment systems. Options range from decorative steel screen doors to commercial-grade security entrances.

A security door is only as effective as its complete assembly. The frame, fasteners, surrounding wall, hinges, lock, strike plate, glass, and installation method should work together. Security improvements should not interfere with required emergency exit or accessibility functions.

Door Replacement Services

Door replacement may be appropriate when a door is badly damaged, warped, rotted, corroded, inefficient, difficult to operate, or no longer suitable for the opening. The decision to repair or replace should consider the door slab, frame, hardware, surrounding structure, replacement-part availability, and desired performance.

Common reasons for replacing a door include:

• Severe warping or swelling
• Rotten wood
• Rust or corrosion
• Cracked or damaged glass
• Recurring alignment problems
• Large gaps and air leaks
• Water intrusion
• Damaged frames or thresholds
• Outdated or unreliable hardware
• Changes in accessibility needs
• Remodeling or design updates
• Security improvements

Professional Door Repair

Many door problems can be corrected without replacing the entire unit. Professional repair begins by identifying why the door is failing. A sticking door may result from loose hinges, frame movement, swelling, worn weatherstripping, foundation settlement, or an obstruction at the threshold.

Popular door repair services include:

• Sticking door repair
• Sagging door adjustment
• Door alignment
• Hinge tightening and replacement
• Frame and jamb repair
• Lock and latch repair
• Handle and knob replacement
• Strike plate adjustment
• Threshold and sill repair
• Weatherstripping replacement
• Door sweep replacement
• Cracked or broken glass replacement
• Sliding door roller replacement
• Track cleaning and alignment
• Closer adjustment
• Commercial door repair
• Garage door repair

Sticking Door Repair

A door may stick at the top, bottom, hinge side, or latch side. Seasonal humidity can cause wood to expand, while loose hinges, damaged frames, paint buildup, floor changes, and building movement can reduce clearances.

Repair may include tightening or replacing hinges, adjusting the frame, correcting the strike plate, trimming the slab, repairing damaged edges, or addressing a threshold problem. The cause should be identified before material is removed from the door.

Sagging Door Repair

A sagging door may rub the floor, scrape the frame, fail to latch, or leave uneven gaps. Common causes include loose hinge screws, worn hinges, an unsupported frame, a heavy door, or movement in the surrounding structure.

Repairs may involve reinforcing hinge attachment points, replacing screws or hinges, adjusting the frame, realigning the slab, or correcting structural support around the opening.

Door That Will Not Close or Latch

A door that will not remain closed may have an improperly positioned strike plate, loose hinges, a worn latch, frame movement, or uneven clearances. Adjustments should restore alignment without forcing the door or weakening the frame.

Door That Will Not Lock

Locking problems may result from a damaged lock, misaligned latch, shifted strike plate, sagging slab, swollen door, loose hardware, or warped frame. Repair may include alignment, hardware replacement, reinforcement, or frame correction.

Door Frame and Jamb Repair

The frame supports the door and provides mounting points for hinges, strikes, closers, weatherstripping, and trim. Damaged frames can interfere with operation and reduce the effectiveness of otherwise functional hardware.

Common frame problems include:

• Cracked or split jambs
• Loose hinge mounting points
• Damaged strike areas
• Wood rot and moisture damage
• Rust and corrosion
• Warped or bowed jambs
• Broken stops
• Failed seals and weatherstripping
• Loose frames
• Damage from forced entry or impact

Wood Door Frame Repair

Wood frames may split near locks and hinges, deteriorate near the sill, or rot after prolonged water exposure. Repair methods depend on the location and extent of damage. Minor areas may be reinforced or rebuilt, while widespread deterioration may require frame replacement.

Metal Door Frame Repair

Steel and aluminum frames may become dented, bent, loose, rusted, or separated at anchors and joints. Repairs may involve adjustment, reinforcement, welding, fastener replacement, surface preparation, or complete frame replacement.

Forced-Entry Damage Repair

Forced entry can damage the lock, strike, jamb, frame, hinges, slab, glass, and surrounding wall. Effective repair should restore the complete opening rather than covering the visible break. Reinforced hardware or a replacement door system may be appropriate when damage is extensive.

Door Lock, Handle and Hardware Repair

Door hardware controls how the door swings, slides, closes, latches, locks, and remains positioned. Worn or poorly adjusted hardware can make a door difficult to use even when the slab and frame are in good condition.

Door hardware services may include:

• Knob and lever replacement
• Deadbolt installation
• Lockset replacement
• Multipoint lock repair
• Smart lock installation
• Latch and strike adjustment
• Hinge replacement
• Continuous hinge installation
• Door closer repair
• Exit device repair
• Flush bolt replacement
• Door stop installation
• Kick plate installation
• Push and pull hardware replacement
• Threshold and sweep replacement

Some lock problems require a locksmith, access-control specialist, or other qualified professional. Fire-rated, electrified, and security openings may also require specialized components and procedures.

Hinge Repair and Replacement

Hinges support the door’s weight and control its swing. Loose screws, worn hinge pins, bent leaves, corrosion, and undersized hinges can cause sagging, rubbing, noise, and latch problems.

Repair may include tightening fasteners, reinforcing stripped screw holes, replacing individual hinges, upgrading hinge capacity, lubricating moving points, or installing a continuous hinge on a suitable commercial door.

Threshold, Sill and Door Sweep Replacement

Thresholds and sweeps help close the gap beneath exterior doors. Damage or poor adjustment can allow drafts, water, dirt, insects, and light to pass under the slab.

Threshold repair may involve replacing worn inserts, adjusting height, sealing gaps, correcting attachment points, or installing a new threshold. Water intrusion should be traced to its source because the door sill, flashing, landing, drainage, or surrounding wall may also be involved.

Weatherstripping and Draft Repair

Weatherstripping seals the sides and top of an exterior door. Over time, seals can compress, tear, loosen, harden, or pull away from the frame. Replacement can improve the seal when the door and frame are otherwise aligned.

Common signs of weatherstripping problems include:

• Visible light around the door
• Noticeable drafts
• Water entering near the frame
• Flattened or missing seals
• Rattling in windy conditions
• Dirt collecting along gaps
• Difficulty maintaining indoor comfort

New seals cannot correct a severely warped door, damaged frame, failed threshold, or improperly installed unit. Those conditions should be repaired as part of the complete opening.

Door Glass Replacement and Repair

Door glass may become cracked, broken, fogged, loose, or outdated. Replacement options depend on the door material, glass dimensions, frame system, safety requirements, design, and product availability.

Door glass services may include:

• Entry door glass replacement
• Sidelight glass replacement
• Transom glass replacement
• Patio door glass replacement
• Storefront glass replacement
• Decorative glass replacement
• Insulated glass unit replacement
• Safety glass replacement
• Glass frame and molding repair

Doors and locations subject to human impact may require safety glazing. Glass selection and installation should follow applicable requirements for the opening.

Sliding Patio Door Repair

Sliding doors depend on clean tracks, properly adjusted rollers, aligned panels, functional locks, intact seals, and secure frames. Dirt, corrosion, worn rollers, damaged tracks, and building movement can make a sliding door difficult to operate.

Popular sliding door repairs include:

• Roller replacement
• Track cleaning and repair
• Panel alignment
• Lock and handle replacement
• Weather seal replacement
• Screen repair
• Glass replacement
• Threshold repair
• Track cover installation
• Sliding panel replacement

Sliding Door Roller Replacement

Worn, seized, broken, or poorly adjusted rollers can make a door feel heavy or cause it to scrape along the track. Roller replacement normally requires removing or lifting the panel, identifying compatible components, cleaning the track, installing the rollers, and adjusting panel height.

Sliding Door Track Repair

Tracks can become dirty, dented, corroded, worn, or separated from the frame. Minor damage may be repairable, while severely damaged tracks may require replacement or a compatible track-cover system.

Pocket, Barn and Bifold Door Services

Pocket Door Repair

Pocket doors slide into wall cavities and rely on concealed rollers, tracks, guides, stops, and framing. Common problems include doors coming off the track, worn rollers, loose hardware, rubbing, and damaged pulls or latches.

Access to concealed components may require removing trim or opening part of the wall, depending on the door system and location of the failure.

Barn Door Installation and Repair

Barn-style doors slide along exposed wall-mounted tracks. Proper installation requires adequate wall structure, correctly rated hardware, appropriate floor clearance, stops, anti-jump devices, and enough open wall space for the panel.

Bifold and Closet Door Repair

Bifold doors may become difficult to operate when pivots, tracks, brackets, guides, or hinges loosen or wear. Repairs can include realignment, hardware replacement, track repair, panel reinforcement, or complete door replacement.

Commercial Door Installation and Repair

Commercial doors must support frequent use, security, accessibility, controlled closing, emergency exit, and the operational needs of the building. Commercial entrance systems may include aluminum storefronts, glass doors, hollow metal doors, automatic operators, fire-rated assemblies, roll-up doors, and specialty hardware.

Commercial door services may include:

• Aluminum storefront doors
• Glass entrance doors
• Hollow metal doors and frames
• Wood commercial doors
• Fire-rated door assemblies
• Automatic and low-energy doors
• Exit devices and panic hardware
• Door closers
• Continuous hinges
• Kick plates and armor plates
• Thresholds and door sweeps
• Commercial locksets
• Electrified hardware
• Access-control door preparation
• Commercial door maintenance

Storefront Door Installation and Repair

Storefront entrances are commonly constructed with aluminum frames and glass. They are used in retail spaces, offices, restaurants, medical facilities, and other commercial properties.

Frequent use can cause pivots, hinges, closers, locks, weatherstripping, thresholds, and handles to wear or move out of adjustment. Storefront door repair may include realigning the door, replacing pivots, adjusting the closer, repairing the lock, replacing glass, and restoring damaged frame components.

Hollow Metal Doors and Frames

Hollow metal doors are used in commercial, industrial, institutional, utility, and service applications. They can provide durable performance and may be configured for fire protection, security, sound control, or frequent use.

Services may include new door and frame installation, hinge repair, closer adjustment, lock preparation, rust repair, impact-damage repair, reinforcement, and replacement of damaged assemblies.

Fire-Rated Door Services

Fire-rated doors are tested assemblies designed to help protect openings in fire-resistance-rated walls. The door, frame, glazing, hinges, latch, closer, seals, labels, and other hardware may all be part of the rated system.

Alterations or repairs should preserve the assembly’s required function and labeling. Common fire door problems include missing labels, damaged frames, blocked latches, failed closers, excessive clearances, incorrect hardware, holes, and doors that have been propped open.

Fire-rated door services may include inspection, adjustment, compatible hardware replacement, gap correction where permitted, and replacement of assemblies that cannot be properly repaired.

Automatic and Low-Energy Door Services

Automatic doors can improve access at retail stores, medical facilities, offices, transportation buildings, and other high-traffic entrances. Systems may include sliding, swinging, folding, or low-energy operators.

Automatic door service can involve operators, sensors, controls, activation devices, safety devices, tracks, rollers, pivots, guide systems, and electrical connections. Installation and repair should be performed by personnel qualified for the specific system and applicable safety requirements.

Door Closer Repair and Adjustment

A door closer controls how a swinging door returns to the closed position. Incorrect adjustment can cause slamming, slow closing, failure to latch, difficult opening, or unsafe movement.

Closer service may include adjusting closing speed, latching speed, backcheck, delayed action, spring power, and mounting. Leaking, damaged, incompatible, or worn closers may require replacement.

Exit Device and Panic Hardware Service

Exit devices allow certain commercial doors to unlatch when a push bar or touch pad is activated. They must release properly while allowing the door to close and relatch after use.

Problems can include loose bars, worn latches, damaged strikes, improper dogging, failed trim, door misalignment, and incompatible closers. Repairs should maintain required exit and fire-protection functions.

Garage Door Installation and Repair

Garage doors are large moving systems that rely on tracks, rollers, hinges, cables, springs, drums, panels, openers, sensors, and mounting hardware. Because springs and cables operate under significant tension, some repairs can be hazardous without proper tools and training.

Popular garage door services include:

• New garage door installation
• Garage door replacement
• Broken spring replacement
• Cable and drum repair
• Track alignment
• Roller and hinge replacement
• Damaged panel replacement
• Garage door opener installation
• Opener repair and adjustment
• Safety sensor alignment
• Weather seal replacement
• Garage door lubrication and maintenance

Garage Door Track and Roller Repair

Bent tracks, worn rollers, loose brackets, and debris can interfere with smooth operation. A door that has left its tracks, hangs unevenly, or binds should not be forced because further movement can damage panels, cables, hardware, or the opener.

Garage Door Spring and Cable Repair

Springs counterbalance the weight of the garage door, while cables transfer lifting force through the system. Broken springs and damaged cables can make the door extremely heavy or cause uneven movement. These components should be handled with appropriate equipment and procedures.

Garage Door Opener Service

Opener problems may involve the motor, drive system, controls, remotes, wiring, force settings, travel limits, wall station, or safety sensors. The door’s balance and mechanical condition should also be checked because an opener cannot correct a binding or improperly balanced door.

Door Maintenance Services

Preventive maintenance can help doors operate smoothly and make developing problems easier to identify. Maintenance needs depend on door type, material, exposure, hardware, traffic level, and building use.

Routine door maintenance may include:

• Checking door alignment and clearances
• Tightening hinges and hardware
• Lubricating appropriate moving parts
• Cleaning sliding door tracks
• Adjusting rollers and guides
• Testing latches and locks
• Inspecting frames and thresholds
• Replacing damaged weatherstripping
• Checking glass and glazing seals
• Adjusting door closers
• Testing automatic door safety devices
• Inspecting fire-rated doors
• Checking garage door cables and springs
• Testing garage door reversal systems
• Identifying rust, rot, cracks, and water damage

Door Alignment and Adjustment

Door alignment affects opening, closing, latching, locking, sealing, and hardware life. Adjustment may involve hinges, pivots, rollers, tracks, strikes, closers, frames, thresholds, or the slab itself.

Warning signs of misalignment include:

• Rubbing or scraping
• Uneven gaps
• Difficulty latching
• Locks that do not align
• Doors that swing open or closed by themselves
• Loose hinges or pivots
• Premature weatherstripping wear
• Light or drafts around the perimeter
• Sliding doors that feel unusually heavy
• Closers that cannot latch the door

Door Material Options

Fiberglass Doors

Fiberglass doors are commonly used for exterior entrances. They are available with smooth or wood-grain surfaces, insulated cores, decorative glass, and many panel styles. Maintenance and performance vary by product, finish, exposure, and installation.

Steel Doors

Steel doors provide strong, practical options for residential entries, utility rooms, commercial buildings, and security applications. Scratches and coating damage should be addressed to help reduce corrosion.

Wood Doors

Wood doors offer natural grain and broad design possibilities. They require appropriate finishing and maintenance, particularly when exposed to moisture, sunlight, or large temperature differences.

Aluminum Doors

Aluminum doors are widely used in storefronts, commercial entrances, screen systems, and some residential applications. Their lightweight construction and corrosion resistance make them suitable for many high-use openings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Door Services

Should a damaged door be repaired or replaced?

Repair may be practical when damage is limited to hinges, locks, weatherstripping, glass, rollers, or a small frame area. Replacement may be more appropriate for severe warping, widespread rot, corrosion, major frame damage, repeated failures, or an unsuitable door system.

What is the difference between a prehung door and a slab door?

A prehung door includes the slab mounted in a frame. A slab door is supplied without a complete frame and must be prepared to fit an existing opening. Prehung units are often selected when the old frame also needs replacement.

Why does a door stick during certain seasons?

Humidity can cause wood doors and frames to expand, while temperature changes can affect materials and building movement. Loose hinges, paint buildup, poor clearances, or frame changes may contribute to seasonal sticking.

Why will a door close but not latch?

The latch and strike may be misaligned because of loose hinges, a sagging door, frame movement, worn hardware, or an improperly positioned strike plate. Correcting alignment usually provides a better result than repeatedly forcing the door.

Can a new door be installed in an existing frame?

Yes, a replacement slab can sometimes be installed in a frame that is square, secure, correctly sized, and in good condition. Damaged or badly misaligned frames may require repair or replacement.

Why is there a draft around an exterior door?

Drafts may result from worn weatherstripping, a failed sweep, an unadjusted threshold, uneven gaps, a warped slab, frame problems, poor insulation, or failed sealant around the opening.

Can the glass in a door be replaced without replacing the door?

Glass can often be replaced if a compatible glazing unit, frame, or insert is available and the door itself remains serviceable. Safety-glazing requirements may apply.

How can a sliding door be made easier to open?

Track cleaning, roller adjustment, roller replacement, panel alignment, and hardware repair may restore smoother operation. Forcing a heavy door can worsen damage to rollers, tracks, handles, and locks.

How often should door hardware be maintained?

Maintenance frequency depends on use, exposure, hardware type, and manufacturer recommendations. High-traffic commercial entrances normally require more frequent inspection and adjustment than lightly used residential doors.

Can a commercial door closer be adjusted?

Many closers have adjustments for closing speed, latching speed, backcheck, and other functions. Adjustment should be performed carefully because incorrect settings can prevent proper closing or create unsafe movement.

Can an existing door be converted to an automatic door?

Some doors can be equipped with low-energy or automatic operators if the slab, frame, hinges, electrical supply, clearances, controls, safety devices, and surrounding opening are suitable.

What are the signs that a garage door needs repair?

Uneven movement, unusual noise, visible cable damage, broken springs, bent tracks, loose rollers, slow operation, failure to stay open, and unreliable reversal can indicate a problem. A damaged garage door should not be forced to operate.

What affects the cost of door installation or repair?

Cost factors include door type, material, size, glass, frame condition, hardware, opening preparation, trim, weatherproofing, structural modifications, accessibility requirements, fire ratings, automation, and installation complexity.
