## Door Repair: What We Fix

### Sliding Door Rollers

The sliding door that takes two hands and a grunt isn't dying — it's rolling on worn-flat wheels. New rollers are $475 ($535 with wheels), the track gets serviced in the same visit, and the slider glides one-finger light again. The most-condemned door we see is usually a $475 repair.

### Door Hardware

Locks that fight the key, handlesets that wobble, hinges that sag — door hardware fixes from $175 are the smallest bills in the door trade. We repair the screw-torn wood so fresh anchors actually bite, then fit and cycle the hardware until it works like new.

### Door Screens

Door screens that bulge, sag or flap have lost their spline tension — hand-stretching never brings it back. Professional rescreen with new mesh and spline is $250; doors past saving replace new, fitted and adjusted, for $475.

### Door Realignment

If the door only latches with a slam or the deadbolt needs a lift-and-jiggle, the door and frame have drifted apart — an alignment problem, not a door problem. We true the hinges, re-set the strike and service the latch until it closes with two fingers. Quoted per door, on site, in writing.

## A Door Is Five Systems — and Each One Repairs on Its Own

The slab gets all the attention, but a door lives or dies by its supporting cast: hinges carrying the weight, a latch-and-strike handshake doing the closing, perimeter seals and a sweep keeping weather out, glass panels doing the daylight, and the frame holding court. Sagging, sticking, leaking, rattling — every complaint traces to one of the five, and every one of the five has its own line on our sheet.
- Hinges & alignment — doors re-hung to swing true
- Locks, latches & hardware — from $175
- Seals & sweeps — $175 · door glass — from $198
- Frame & jamb wood — rebuilt in real wood from $475

## A New Entry or Patio Door Runs ~$10,000 — Most Repairs Run $175–$575

That gap is the whole story of our door trade. A door that drags reboots with a re-hang; a rotted frame bottom rebuilds in laminated wood; fogged door glass swaps as a sealed unit; a grinding slider glides on new rollers. When a slab is genuinely split or a frame crushed past saving, we say so — with the replacement estimate written next to the repair math, so the decision is arithmetic instead of salesmanship.
- Sliding door rollers — $475, the most-condemned fix in NC
- Storm doors — closers, hinges and panels serviced
- Break-in damage — frames and hardware restored fast
- Honest written repair-vs-replace comparison every time

## Door Repair — FAQ

**Q: My door drags and only latches with a shoulder. Is it done for?**

A: Almost never — that's geometry, not death. Doors sag on their hinges and frames settle; a proper re-hang restores the swing and the latch clicks home again. If hinge wood is torn or rotted, it gets rebuilt in the same visit. This is the single most over-condemned failure in the door world.

**Q: Water shows up inside after storms. Which part failed?**

A: The weather team: threshold, sweep or perimeter seals — usually the bottom of the system, from $175. If the water has been at it for seasons, the frame bottom may need a wood rebuild too (from $475). Both belong to one visit; fixing the leak without the wood, or the wood without the leak, is half a repair.

**Q: Do you repair sliding patio doors?**

A: Constantly — the two-handed slider heave is rollers ($475), not a dying door. Track service, locks and fogged panel swaps ride the same visit. Sliders are the most rewarding un-condemn in the catalog.

**Q: What actually justifies replacing a door?**

A: A slab split through its core, a frame crushed out of square beyond re-hanging, or damage past the sum of its parts. Then replacement is honest — and our estimate shows it next to the repair column so you can see the arithmetic yourself. See our door replacement service for how we install.

**Q: Garage doors too?**

A: Honestly, no — overhead and roll-up doors are a different trade with different equipment. Entry, patio, storm, French and sliding doors are all ours.

**Q: Which areas do you cover?**

A: Every metro at the bottom of this page with our own crews — the city pages carry the local details. Same catalog and warranty everywhere.
