Door repair in Monterey Park
Most sticking and dragging doors aren't broken. The hinges have loosened or the house has settled. I tighten and shim hinges, move the strike, plane the edge if it has to come off, and replace worn hinges and closers. When a door is warped or split, I hang a new one.

What I fix
- Doors that stick, drag, or won't latch: hinges tightened, shimmed, or replaced
- Planing and sealing a door edge
- Moving or adjusting the strike plate
- Door closers and spring hinges adjusted or replaced
- Hanging a new interior slab or pre-hung door
Problems I see most
- Hinge screws strip out of the jamb, so the door sags at the top corner.
- Seasonal swelling makes a door rub, then it's fine again in summer.
- Closers slam or won't close because the adjustment drifted or the oil leaked out.

Doors questions
Something else? Call or text and ask.
Why does my door suddenly stick?
Usually the top hinge has loosened, or seasonal moisture swelled the wood. Longer hinge screws into the framing fix most of these.
Repair or replace a door?
Repair it if it's solid and only out of adjustment. Replace it if it's warped, split, delaminated, or water-damaged at the bottom.
Can you replace my door closer?
Yes. Screen and security door closers, and hydraulic closers on gates and entry doors, can be adjusted or replaced.
Do you replace exterior doors?
Yes, a slab or a pre-hung door in the same opening. Send a photo and the door size for a price.
