Fix the reason the door stopped working correctly

Door problems are usually an alignment, hardware, frame or wear issue

A door that sticks, will not latch, drags on the floor, swings open by itself, rattles in the frame or needs to be lifted to lock is telling you something has shifted or worn. The best repair depends on whether the problem is at the hinges, slab, latch, strike, jamb, threshold, weatherstripping, frame or surrounding structure.

Five Seasons Handyman repairs everyday residential door problems and separates adjustment work from replacement work. A hinge correction or strike adjustment can be a very different project from a rotten exterior jamb or damaged door slab, so we diagnose the visible condition before defining the repair.

Common door problems

Door repairs we can review

  • Doors that stick, rub, drag or bind
  • Sagging doors and loose or worn hinge screws
  • Doors that do not latch or lock without lifting or pushing
  • Misaligned latch bolts and strike plates
  • Loose knobs, levers, deadbolts and other hardware
  • Damaged door jambs, casing and trim
  • Drafty exterior doors and failed weatherstripping
  • Damaged or worn thresholds and door sweeps
  • Storm door repair and replacement
  • Screen door repair and adjustment
  • Sliding patio door repair and adjustment
  • Pocket door and bifold closet door problems
  • Exterior door wood rot and localized frame damage

Diagnose before replacing

Three areas that often cause door trouble

Hinges and fasteners

Loose hinges, stripped jamb holes, worn hardware or inadequate fasteners can let the slab sag and create rubbing or latch problems.

Frame and jamb alignment

The opening itself may be out of square, damaged or loose. Adjusting the slab alone will not solve a jamb problem that is driving the misalignment.

Moisture and exterior deterioration

Exterior jambs, thresholds and trim can rot when water reaches vulnerable joints. The repair should address damaged material and obvious water-entry conditions rather than covering soft wood.

Questions homeowners ask

Frequently asked questions

These answers cover common service, scope, and pricing questions. Your actual project still needs to be reviewed before work is scheduled.

Can a sticking door usually be adjusted instead of replaced?

Often, yes. Hinge, fastener, latch, strike and minor alignment problems can sometimes be corrected without replacing the whole door. Damage, severe warping, rot or a badly failed frame can change that decision.

Do you repair exterior door jamb rot?

Localized jamb and trim damage can be reviewed. Extensive rot, hidden water damage or structural deterioration may require a larger repair or replacement scope.

Can you replace the door if repair does not make sense?

Yes. Door installation and replacement is a separate Five Seasons Handyman service and can be recommended when the existing slab, frame or system is no longer a good repair candidate.

Are estimates free?

Yes. Five Seasons Handyman provides free estimates. Photos, dimensions, product information, and a clear description can help us understand the starting condition before scheduling.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. Approved work is priced by the defined job rather than leaving you with an open-ended hourly meter.

Can I add other small jobs to the same estimate?

Usually, yes. Include the full punch list when you contact us. We can identify which repairs and installations make sense to combine into one planned scope.
