Door Repair & Adjustment in Melissa, TX

When a house settles, the doors are usually the first to complain. A door that latched fine at closing starts to rub the frame, the deadbolt no longer lines up, or the whole thing drifts open on its own. It's almost never the door — it's the opening shifting around it, and it's a quick fix once you know what to adjust.

We rehang, plane, and shim as needed, reset hinges and strike plates, and get the gaps even top to bottom so it closes with an easy click. Interior, exterior, closet, patio slider — we'll have it swinging and latching the way it should.

What this covers

  • Sticking and dragging door correction
  • Hinge repair and screw-anchor reset
  • Strike plate and latch alignment
  • Deadbolt and handle set installation
  • Weatherstripping and threshold adjustment
  • Sliding and closet door realignment
  • New interior door hanging
A note from around here: In Melissa's younger homes we see a wave of sticking doors a year or two after move-in, once the frame has taken its first full run through North Texas heat and cold — an easy adjustment we make all the time.

Neighbors often ask

Why won't my door latch anymore when it used to?

The frame shifted slightly as the house settled, so the latch and strike plate no longer meet. We realign them — and often the hinges too — so it closes cleanly again without you having to lean on it.

Can you fix a door that swings open by itself?

Yes. That usually means the frame is out of plumb, and we can correct the hinge angle so the door stays put wherever you leave it.
