Common Door Problems We Fix
We troubleshoot these issues daily with a fix‑it‑first approach to save you money and stop drafts. Tell us what your door is doing, and we’ll give you straight advice and a clear estimate before any work begins.
Sticking, scraping, sagging, or misaligned doors
Signs: the slab rubs the frame or threshold, won’t latch, or drags on flooring. Common fixes: hinge and strike adjustments, re‑hanging, shimming the jamb, resetting the threshold, or light edge planing when appropriate.
Drafts, air or water leaks
Causes: worn weatherstripping, damaged sweeps, settled thresholds or sills, failed exterior sealant. What we do: replace seals and sweeps, adjust compression, reset or replace thresholds, reseal exterior trim or brickmould, and fine‑tune French door astragals.
Hardware problems
Loose or squeaking hinges, latch or strike misalignment, wobbly handles, storm‑door closers that slam, sliding‑door rollers that don’t roll, or bent tracks. We tighten or replace hardware, realign strikes and keeps, service or replace closers, true up tracks, and swap worn rollers.
Frame, jamb, or brickmould damage
We diagnose moisture sources, replace rotted brickmould or jamb sections (often with rot‑resistant composites), rebuild sub‑sills as needed, and re‑square and secure the frame. If damage is extensive, we’ll explain when replacement is the better long‑term value.
Storm and screen door troubles
Sticking or slamming closers, latches that won’t catch, sagging hinges, or torn screens. We adjust/replace closers, reinforce hinges, align latches, and re‑screen.
Sliding and patio door tune‑ups
Hard‑to‑slide panels, flat‑spotted rollers, debris or corrosion in tracks, locks that won’t engage, or loose handles. We clean and dress tracks, replace or adjust rollers, set panel height and alignment, and repair or upgrade handles and locks.
Glass lites, sidelights, and transoms
Fogged insulated glass, cracked lites, or failed perimeter seals. We replace insulated glass inserts where feasible, reseal glazing stops, and verify drainage and weep paths. If a slab won’t take a glass‑only fix, we outline replacement options that work with your existing frame. Want to understand glass types? See insulated glass options explained.
Note: We do not service overhead or garage doors.

Our Repair Process—Simple, Transparent, No Pressure
- Inspection and diagnosis: We evaluate the whole door system—slab, frame and jamb, brickmould, hinges, strike and latch alignment, weatherstripping, sweep, threshold or sill, and any glass. For sliders and patio doors, we check rollers, tracks, and locks; for storm doors, we assess closers and latches. We also look at nearby conditions to find the root cause.
- Options reviewed on the spot: We outline practical repair paths, needed parts, and what each option means for security, energy use, and long‑term performance.
- Clear, written estimate: Line‑itemed and easy to compare—no one‑call‑close tactics.
- Repair day: We protect floors and trim, complete the agreed work, test operation and latch engagement, and do a light/draft check.
- Final walkthrough and cleanup: We review results and share simple care tips.
- Timing: Most standard repairs are done in one visit. Specialty parts or glass may require a prompt return visit.
- Payment and financing: We accept common payment methods. Financing available on request.

Repair or Replace? Honest Guidance for the Best Value
We start every visit aiming to repair. If we can make your door safe, smooth, and draft‑free without replacing it, we will. Expect straight talk and an upfront price before any work—no pressure.
When repair makes sense
- Minor misalignment or sticking from hinge wear or settling
- Hardware failures: loose hinges, bent latches, deadbolts that don’t catch, storm‑door closers, or sliding‑door rollers/tracks/locks
- Worn weatherstripping, sweeps, thresholds, and caulk causing drafts or light gaps
- Isolated rot on a jamb, brickmould, or sill nose that can be cut out and rebuilt
When replacement is the smarter value
- Extensive rot, warping, or delamination in the slab or frame
- Repeated water intrusion, persistent drafts, or failed sills indicating system issues
- Major frame failure (badly out of plumb or bowed) or damaged tracks/sills beyond tolerance
- Compromised locks, severe impact damage, or broken glass where tempered is required
If replacement is warranted, we’ll help you choose the right door—fiberglass, steel, wood, or a new patio system—sourced from multiple brands to match your goals and budget. You can also browse options on our Windows & Doors and Our Products pages.

Comfort, Energy, and Security Gains from Proper Door Repair
- Fewer drafts and lower energy loss: Realign slab and frame, reset/replace thresholds, and install fresh weatherstripping and sweeps for tight seals.
- Quieter, smoother operation: Adjusted hinges, corrected reveals, and tuned latches end sticking and slamming; serviced sliders glide easily.
- Stronger security: Clean latch engagement, aligned deadbolts, and upgraded fasteners improve resistance to force.
- Optional upgrades: Heavier‑duty hinges, reinforced strike plates, and improved door shoes/thresholds—priced transparently.
If a door is too damaged to seal and secure well, we’ll explain when replacement is the better value—no hard sell.

Transparent Pricing and Free Quotes
Every door is a little different, but our pricing is clear and low‑pressure. We inspect, explain what we find in plain language, and lay out your options with a written, line‑item estimate before work begins.
What drives the cost
- Door type and material: entry (fiberglass/steel/wood), sliding patio and French doors, storm/screen doors
- Extent of damage: simple adjustments vs. rot repair, misalignment, threshold or sill rebuilds, impact/water damage
- Parts and hardware: hinges, locks, strikes, closers, rollers/tracks, handles, weatherstripping, sweeps, thresholds
- Glass components: insulated glass replacement, tempered/safety glass where required
- Access and complexity: masonry or stucco openings, multi‑story access, trim touch‑ups, smart‑lock integration, oversized panels

Door Repair FAQs
Can you repair vs. replace? How do you decide?
We always look to repair first to save you money. If the slab is sound, the frame is reasonably square, and hardware or seals can be adjusted or replaced, repair is usually the best value. We recommend replacement when there’s severe rot or rust, repeated water intrusion, warping/delamination that won’t hold an adjustment, broken insulated glass in a full‑lite slab, or security issues a repair won’t solve long term. We’ll lay out both options with clear, line‑item pricing and our recommendation—no pressure.
Do you work on sliding glass and storm doors?
Yes. For sliding glass doors we service rollers, tracks, locks/handles, alignment, and weatherstripping. We also repair storm and screen doors, including closers, latches, hinges, sweeps, and weatherstrip, and we’re familiar with specialty models like round‑top and security storm doors. Want to browse options? See our storm door styles.
How long does a typical repair take? Will you need to work inside?
Most adjustments and hardware or weatherstrip replacements take 30–90 minutes. Sliding‑door roller/track work typically takes 1–2 hours. More involved frame or threshold repairs can run 2–4 hours. Many repairs require both inside and outside access; we minimize open‑door time and protect your home—especially during St. Louis heat or cold.
Will repair affect my trim, drywall, or flooring? Do you protect the area?
Most repairs are noninvasive and won’t disturb interior trim or drywall. If we’re addressing rot, bent frames, or a failing threshold, we may need to remove and replace exterior brickmould or a sill; we’ll review that first. We use drop cloths, protect floors, and clean up when we’re done.
Do you haul away old parts and debris?
Yes. We remove and dispose of old parts, packaging, and debris as part of the job—and recycle when possible. If you’d like to keep anything, like a lockset, just let us know.
What warranty applies to my repair and parts?
Hardware and components carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and our workmanship is covered by a service warranty. Exact terms depend on the product and scope. Your proposal will outline details in plain language.
Do you handle historic or specialty doors?
Yes. We regularly work on older St. Louis homes and can source compatible hardware, weatherstrip solutions, and custom millwork when needed. If a door is too deteriorated to repair cost‑effectively, we’ll recommend replacement options that respect your home’s character and efficiency goals.
What payments and financing options are available?
We accept major credit cards and checks. Financing is available on larger projects—ask us for current options, and check our Specials for seasonal promotions.
