What affects the price
The extent of repairs and any parts needed.
Before you call
Tell us what the door does and when it started. A photo of the gap around the door is helpful.
Good to know
A door that leaks air or light is losing energy and can be a security concern. Weather seals and thresholds wear out and are usually easy to replace, and we check them at the same visit as any lock work.
When this is not the right fix
If the door itself is rotted or delaminated, replacement is usually the better route.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my door only lock when I lift it?
That usually means the door has dropped and the bolt no longer lines up. It is fixed by adjusting hinges or the strike.
Can you repair a door that has been kicked in?
Often yes, using reinforcement. If the frame is split, we replace the affected parts.
