Frequently asked questions about door repair companies

It is easy to take the front door to your home for granted. In fact, the front door to your home does more than just look good. You open the front door to welcome guests, and close and lock it to help keep your home and family safe. If your door does not fit well in its frame, it could make rattling and thumping noises. A common reason for a rattling door is the spring-loaded lock not fitting well into the strike plate of the door. In this case, the metal tab on the strike plate could be bent away from the door.

There are a few ways to repair your door if it is rattling. There is a simple repair you might want to try on your own, and more complex repairs for which it may make sense to hire a contractor. For the simple repair, bend the tang on the strike plate toward the door. Use two adjustable wrenches rather than using pliers to avoid damaging the finish on the plate. If your door still rattles, call a qualified door repair pro near you.

It is easy to take the doors inside our homes for granted. There are solid wood doors and hollow wood doors. Many homeowners opt for the less expensive, lightweight hollow doors. These doors consist of a wood frame covered with composite veneer. However, these doors are more fragile than doors made of solid wood. It is common for hollow doors to sustain damage when homeowners are moving furniture from room to room.

Repairing a hole in a hollow door is fairly straightforward. Place a piece of solid wood on one side of the door. Spray foam insulation into the other side of the hole so that it expands to fill the hole and bulges out. When it is dry, shave the foam with a utility knife on both sides of the door. Make a slightly concave surface in the dried foam. Fill this with drywall joint compound. When this is dry, scrape the compound so it is flush with the rest of the door. Sand the door, and prime and paint the patch. Then finesse your repaired door to make it look like new.

A misaligned door can be hard to close and latch due to uneven gaps along the sides. The simplest repair for a misaligned door is to tighten the hinges. Sometimes this little door repair trick will work. Your misaligned door may require a more complex repair such as shimming the hinges. More than one misaligned door in your home could be a sign of trouble with the house’s foundation. If the foundation has settled unevenly, it could cause the door frames to shift.

If you’ve got a misaligned door, or several misaligned doors in your home and the simpler repair options have not worked, it could be time to call a door repair contractor. A pro will have the tools and know how to tackle your misaligned door repair. Contractors bring plenty of experience to the job. A qualified door repair professional will be able to identify the source of the misalignment. They can offer advice as to what to do if your home has foundation issues, and may be able to fix a misalignment more quickly and easily than the average homeowner.

You may have heard home improvement professionals mention door shims when they are discussing the installation of a new door, or repairing a misaligned door. Door shims are simply tapered slices of wood that can be used to position a door properly. The door needs to be level and plumb in order to open and close properly. Door shims are essential for installing any door within its door frame.

It takes skill and precise measurements to properly hang a door. A door that is improperly hung will lead to headaches down the road. A misaligned door can rattle, and fail to close and latch properly. An improperly hung door will require repairs down the road. Depending on your skillset, it may make sense to have door repair and installation contractor come to your home. They will have the tools and knowledge needed to hang pre-hung doors or even slab doors. However, pre-hung doors are easier to install than slab doors. A door repair pro will know what size door shims are required for your door installation. Call a professional near you today.

Your home’s front door serves crucial functions beyond simply looking handsome. The front door protects your home from the elements, and from intruders. A front door that will not stay closed cannot adequately perform its functions. If your front door won’t stay closed it may make sense to call a door repair contractor. A pro will have the tools and knowledge to repair your door.

A door repair professional may start by checking to see if the latch bolt is sticking. They will apply silicone lubricant to remedy such a problem. Next, the door repair pro might use a level to see if the door is hung in a level manner. If the door isn’t hung properly, they may adjust the hinges. Next a door repair pro might look at the strike plate for signs of wear and tear. If there is a misalignment involving the strike plate, a repair contractor may make various adjustments to the plate. If your front door will not stay closed, do not hesitate to call in a repair contractor to get it back on track to keep your home safe.
