Common door concerns
The right fix depends on what is causing the problem and the condition of the door and frame.

Worn weatherstripping or gaps around a door may affect comfort and deserve inspection.

Entry Doors
An entry door helps shape the appearance and function of your home’s entrance. Choose a design, glass and hardware suited to the opening.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors connect indoor and outdoor spaces with glass panels that move along a track rather than swinging into the room.
Hinged Patio Doors
Hinged patio doors swing open to connect a room to a patio or garden and can be considered in single- or paired-door configurations.
What to Look For
Door problems we can assess
A door should open, close and latch comfortably. If yours is not working as it should, an inspection can help identify the problem.
Sticking, dragging or poor alignment
Movement in the opening or worn hinges and hardware can make a door hard to use. We check the door and frame before suggesting a fix.
Gaps and drafts
Worn weatherstripping or an uneven fit can allow air through. The appropriate repair depends on where the gap is and the condition of the door.
Latches and handles
A latch that does not meet the frame or a handle that is hard to operate may need adjustment or parts. We can assess the cause.
