True First, Then Fix
Geometry First
Most 'Broken Locks' Are Really a Door That Drifted
A deadbolt that needs a lift-and-jiggle, a latch that misses, a key that fights — nine times out of ten the mechanism is innocent: the door has drifted on its hinges and the lock no longer meets its strike where it used to. That's why our hardware visits true the geometry first — hinges re-anchored, strikes re-set — and only then judge the mechanism. New hardware bolted onto a crooked door fails by spring; we don't sell that.
-
Doors trued to close with two fingers, no slam
-
Strikes re-set, hinges re-anchored into solid wood
-
Screw-torn jamb wood repaired so anchors bite
-
Then — and only then — the mechanism verdict
Every Mechanism
From Mortise Boxes to Panic Bars — the Whole Hardware Catalog
Modern deadbolts and handlesets service or replace for $175. Sliding doors glide again on new rollers ($475). Century-old mortise locks — the big rectangular boxes in older homes — rebuild rather than land in a drawer. Storefronts get panic bars and closers kept legal and smooth. One catalog, written prices, and the same rule everywhere: repair the mechanism that exists before selling the one that doesn't.

Sliding rollers — $475 · with wheels $535

The Process
How Door Hardware Repair Works
Geometry, mechanism, proof — in that order.
01/Watch It Misbehave
You work the door as usual; the jiggle or slam points straight at geometry or mechanism.
02/Written Price by Part
Locks $175, rollers $475, alignment quoted per door — on paper before tools.
03/True, Then Repair
Hinges and strikes squared first, mechanisms serviced or swapped second.
04/Two-Finger Test & Warranty
The door must close and lock without force — written 5-year warranty behind it.

Eugene fabricated both screens and new half double-pane windows for my home. He was professional, dedicated, and experienced. He went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend WowFix for work that meets all expectations!

I had a fantastic experience with WowFix. They repaired my existing windows by cutting out rotted sashes, fashioning new ones on-site, and splicing them in. They look and work absolutely good as new!

WowFix is a great company for repairs on doors and windows. I had two rotten double-door frames that they rebuilt. They communicate well and the pricing was fair.

Door Hardware — FAQ
Check the geometry first — that lift is you manually re-aligning a drifted door. We true the hinges and strike so the bolt glides home with the door hanging naturally; if the mechanism itself is worn, replacement is $175. Often the alignment alone solves it, and no lock purchase survives a crooked door anyway.
Before We Arrive
How to Prepare for Your WowFix Door Repair Visit
- 1
Photograph the door and the problem spot
Take one photo of the whole door and a close-up of the trouble area — the track, the handle, the glass, or the soft wood at the bottom. It lets us quote faster and bring the right parts.
- 2
Note what the door is doing wrong
Jot down the symptom — grinds or sticks on the track, won't lock or latch, drafts around the edges, fog or cracks in the glass, soft flaking wood at the bottom. It tells us whether it's hardware, a glass-only swap (from $198), or wood work.
- 3
Clear the doorway and a few feet on each side
Move mats, planters and furniture back from both sides of the door — most door work happens from inside and outside at once, and a clear opening keeps the visit quick.
- 4
Find any brand sticker or paperwork
Door brands hide their stickers on the edge or hinge side. If you spot one — or still have install paperwork — set it aside. Not required, but it helps us match rollers, locks and glass on the first trip.
- 5
Make sure we can reach the outside of the door
Unlock gates, secure pets, and clear the deck or patio path. With access to both faces of the door, nearly every repair finishes in a single visit.

The Rot Comes Out, Not the Window
We fabricate an exact-profile piece from laminated lumber and splice it in.
Shattered Pane, Same-Day Secure
New glass built to the window's exact size — frame and trim untouched.
Broken Glass on a Brick Ranch
The pane is the part that failed — so the pane is the part we replace.
Fog That Won't Wipe Off
A failed seal, not a failed window: the sealed unit is swapped, the frame stays.
