Door Repair in Greenville, SC
A door that sticks in summer and swings open in winter is almost never the door's fault. Houses settle, hinges sag, and strike plates drift out of alignment a sixteenth of an inch at a time. We diagnose which of those it is before we start cutting anything, because planing a door that only needed a hinge shim is a repair you can't undo.
What this includes
- Hinge shimming, re-screwing and replacement
- Strike plate and latch realignment
- Planing and easing on doors that have genuinely swollen
- Threshold and sweep adjustment
- Squeak and drag elimination
Common questions
Wood swells with Upstate humidity and shrinks when the heat runs. If a door binds in July and clears in January, that's seasonal movement and it usually needs an easing cut plus hinge adjustment, not a new door.
Yes. That's usually the strike plate rather than the knob. We reposition or replace the plate and adjust the hinges so the door closes without being pushed.
