Door Repair
Half of "lock problems" are door problems wearing a disguise.
What this service actually involves
A deadbolt that fights, a latch that needs a hip-check, a key that turns only when the door is lifted: the lock gets blamed, the door is guilty. Hinges sag, frames shift as houses settle, strikes drift out of alignment, and South Florida humidity swells slabs seasonally. Door repair fixes the geometry so the hardware can do its job.
The work spans hinge repair and replacement, strike realignment and reinforcement, frame repair after damage or rot, weatherstripping that seals without binding, and adjustments on the patio sliders and French doors coastal homes love. It pairs naturally with lock work, one visit, the whole doorway healthy.
Questions, answered straight
The deadbolt only throws if I pull the door toward me.
Textbook strike misalignment from settling or sag. Realignment cures it and removes the daily strain that eventually breaks the bolt.
The door sticks every summer.
Humidity swell. The fix is a planned adjustment that leaves winter fit intact, not shaving the door to its rainy-season size.
Sliding patio door barely slides.
Rollers and track, usually rebuildable, and worth pairing with a real patio-door lock while the door is apart.
