What affects the cost

A hinge or strike-plate adjustment is a small job; a full door installation – especially exterior, with weatherproofing – takes more time and materials, which is reflected in the quote.

What's involved

We check the frame, hinges and strike before recommending anything bigger, because a door that sticks or won’t latch is more often a settled frame than a bad door. For a new interior or exterior door, we fit it, hang it square, install the hardware and seal exterior doors against drafts.

Signs it's time to call

A door that sticks, drags, won't latch, or has loose or squeaking hinges is usually a hinge, strike plate, or minor frame adjustment – not a sign you need a full replacement.

What's behind most door repair and installation calls

Sticking is usually the frame, not the door

A door that drags on the floor or won't latch is more often a settled frame or worn hinge than a problem with the door slab itself – which is why we check alignment before recommending a replacement.

Older homes settle unevenly

Century and mid-century Ottawa homes have had decades to settle, which throws door frames out of square in ways a newer build hasn't had time to develop.

Small fixes we handle on the spot

Loose strike plates, worn weatherstripping, a sagging hinge, or a door that won't latch cleanly are typically same-visit fixes, not a reason to book a second appointment.

Common questions

Can you fix a door instead of replacing it?

In most cases, yes – a sticking or misaligned door is usually a hinge, frame, or strike-plate fix well short of full replacement.

Do you install new exterior doors?

Yes, including fitting, hanging, and hardware installation.
