Door Adjustment & Alignment in Ottawa
Door rubbing the frame, sagging, or refusing to latch without pushing?
I adjust and align doors by correcting hinge play, tightening hardware, and resetting latch and strike alignment so the door closes cleanly.
The result is smooth swing, even gaps, and a door that shuts properly — across Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, and Orléans.
What this service solves: sagging doors, rubbing at the top or latch side, sticking in humid seasons, doors that won’t latch, and uneven gaps caused by loose hinges, worn screws, frame movement, or a shifted strike plate.
When adjustment is the right fix: the door and frame are structurally sound, but the closing geometry has shifted over time.
This is common after normal settling, heavy use, or when hardware loosens and the door starts dragging.
How the work is done: inspect hinge condition and screw holding power, tighten or reinforce mounting points, correct hinge alignment, reset the door position for even reveals, adjust latch/strike engagement, and test repeated open/close cycles.
Pricing is flat-rate and confirmed before work begins.
• Major structural carpentry, full frame rebuilds, or door replacement are quoted separately.
• If a door is swollen, delaminated, or heavily damaged, replacement options are discussed before proceeding.
