Door and lock repair in Rocklin, CA
Sticking, sagging and drafty doors adjusted, and locks and handles replaced, so every door closes and latches the first time.
How I approach it
Most sticking doors aren’t bad doors. The top hinge has worked loose or the house has shifted a little. A long screw through the top hinge into the framing fixes more doors than planing ever does. When that isn’t enough, I adjust the strike, shim a hinge, or plane the edge and seal it so it doesn’t swell again.
Exterior doors take a beating here: afternoon sun on one side, air conditioning on the other, then a wet winter. If you can see daylight around a closed door, the weatherstripping is worn out or the sweep is missing.
Good to know
If you want one key for every outside door, the easiest route is buying hardware keyed alike. I’ll install it.
A smart lock needs a door that latches smoothly first. If the bolt drags, I fix the alignment before the lock goes on, or the motor will struggle.
