Door Repair in Glendale
Door repair in Glendale, for the doors you've learned to shoulder open. Sticking, rubbing, not latching, or swinging open by themselves. Most of them need an adjustment, not a new door.

What we fix on a door
- Loose hinges, reset with longer screws that reach the framing
- Doors that rub the frame or stick at the top corner
- Doors that won't latch because the strike plate moved
- Knobs that spin, wobble or came off in your hand
- Swapping round knobs for levers that are easier to grip
- Missing door stops and the wall dents that follow
- Sliding closet doors that jumped their track
- Cabinet doors hanging crooked on a loose hinge
Why Glendale doors drift
Houses move. A lot of Glendale was built between the 1920s and 1960s, and decades of settling shift frames out of square.
Dry Santa Ana weeks and wet winter weeks make wood swell and shrink. A door that closed fine in August can stick in January.
That's why the fix is usually small: tighten, shim, move the strike, or take a little off the edge. We start with the smallest fix that works.
New hardware
Bought the knobs or levers already? We install them. If the old hole is larger than the new hardware, we'll tell you what it takes to cover it cleanly.
Hanging a brand-new door is a bigger job than a list item. Ask us on the call and we'll be straight about it.

Most visits cover a few of these at once.
Questions
Do you replace whole doors?
Our visits are built around repairs and hardware. If your door is past adjusting, we'll tell you on the call or at the visit.
Can you change knobs to levers?
Yes. It's a common request for parents and grandparents. Bring the set you like, or we'll go over options when you call.
Do you rekey locks?
Lock rekeying isn't part of our list. A locksmith is the right call for that.
