Door repair and adjustment

Houses move here, season to season. The door is usually where you notice it first. Usually it's a hinge that has pulled or a strike plate that needs moving. Usually an hour.

What the job involves

  • Hinges shimmed, tightened or replaced where the screws have pulled
  • Strike plates moved so the latch actually meets the hole
  • The bottom of a dragging door planed and resealed
  • Weatherstripping and thresholds replaced on exterior doors
  • Interior doors that swing open on their own, corrected
  • Closet and pantry doors that jump the track, reset

What is not included

  • Cutting a new opening or moving a doorway
  • Fitting or rekeying locks. Texas licenses that and I don't hold the license.
  • Garage doors with springs under tension. Those hurt people.

What it costs

Usually one hour at $140. Three or four doors in the same visit is where this gets cheap, because the tools are already out.

Examples of this work

  • The bedroom door that won't latch
  • A back door dragging on the tile
  • Three interior doors in one visit
