Door faults we can help with
A door can rub, scrape, swing open, miss the latch, or feel hard to close. The cause is not always the door edge.
We check the movement first, then look at the hinges, latch, frame, and visible gaps. This helps avoid cutting or replacing parts before the cause is clear.
Sticking and scraping doors
A sticking door may need hinge work, latch adjustment, or a small fit correction. We check where the door touches before choosing the repair.
Dropped or sagging doors
Loose or worn hinges can let a door drop out of line. We can assess suitable hinge, fixing, and alignment repairs.
Handles and latches
Loose handles, worn latches, and strike plates can stop a door closing well. We can repair or replace suitable non-electrical hardware.
Draughty doors
A draught can come from alignment or a worn seal. We can assess door movement before deciding which service fits.
For worn exterior seals or water entry, use Minor Leak Repairs & Resealing.
Minor timber door faults
Small chips, worn edges, and limited local damage may suit a minor repair. Wider rot, soft timber, or moisture damage needs more checking.
Sliding and cavity doors
Send photos before booking work on a slider or cavity door. Rollers, tracks, frames, or joinery faults may need a joinery specialist.
Check the cause before trimming a door
A rubbing door should not be trimmed first just because one edge touches. A loose hinge can move the door enough to cause the same sign.
Moisture can also change timber size for a time. A door that suddenly swells after rain may point to a water issue nearby.
We check the simple causes before removing material. This gives the door a better chance of working well through later weather changes.
Interior and exterior door repairs
Interior door repairs often involve hinges, handles, latches, and fit. These jobs are usually easier to assess from clear photos.
Exterior doors need a wider check because they also help keep weather out. We can assess selected alignment, hinges, handles, latches, and other minor door faults.
Large frame repairs, major rot, glazing, or wider weathertightness work need the right specialist. Structural doorway changes also sit outside normal handyman repair work.
Door repairs for rentals and managed properties
Door faults are common items on rental inspection and maintenance lists. Property managers can send the address, photos, access details, and approved repair scope.
For rentals, we can assess suitable door alignment and hardware faults. Worn exterior seals are handled under Minor Leak Repairs & Resealing.
We do not issue Healthy Homes compliance certificates. Tenancy Services says rentals must not have unreasonable gaps that cause noticeable draughts.
Read the current draught stopping guidance for landlord requirements.
When another specialist is the better fit
Some door jobs need a different trade or specialist from the start. We will flag that before unsuitable work goes ahead.
- Garage door motors, springs, cables, openers, and automated systems need a garage-door specialist.
- Complex lock faults, rekeying, access control, and security upgrades are better handled by a locksmith.
- Fire doors and fire-rated assemblies need the right fire-door specialist.
- Broken door glass and specialist glazing need a glazier.
- Shower-door systems need a shower or glazing specialist.
- Major frame movement, structural changes, and restricted building work need the right building professional.
- Major rot or weathertightness faults may need a builder or joinery specialist.
