Sticking and rubbing
Doors that drag on the floor, rub the jamb, or require force to latch.
Interior, Exterior and Storm Doors
Sticking, dragging, loose, damaged, or drafty doors repaired by a local owner-operated handyman. Replacement is recommended only when repair no longer makes sense.
A door can be difficult to close because of loose hinges, a shifted strike plate, seasonal movement, frame damage, or swelling from moisture. The useful first step is finding the cause instead of trimming or forcing the door without checking alignment.
King Home Improvement repairs interior doors, exterior entry doors, storm doors, frames, trim, and common hardware problems. Tim handles the evaluation and the work, so the person explaining the repair is also the person completing it.
Doors that drag on the floor, rub the jamb, or require force to latch.
Stripped screw holes, sagging doors, and hinges pulling away from the frame.
Misaligned strike plates, loose hardware, and doors that will not stay closed.
Split jambs, damaged casing, worn stops, and minor wood deterioration.
Air gaps, worn seals, and daylight visible around exterior doors.
Interior, exterior, and storm door installation when the existing door cannot be repaired well.
Alignment and hardware problems may be repairable. Extensive rot, a badly warped slab, or an opening that no longer holds the door securely can require replacement.
