Door alignment and adjustment in Mississauga
Doors that rub, drag, swing open on their own or need a shove to latch are alignment problems. Cheapest call we take, and the one most often quoted as a replacement by someone else.
- Sagging door correction and hinge re-anchoring
- Strike repositioning so the latch catches without force
- Doors that swing open or closed on their own — hinge pin correction
- Slabs dragging the floor or rubbing the head jamb
- Uneven reveal and gaps that let daylight through
- Interior, pocket, bifold and closet track adjustment
Sagging starts at the top hinge
The top hinge carries most of the load. Its screws work loose into soft jamb wood, the door drops a few millimetres at the latch side and starts catching. Longer screws into the framing pull it back — no planing, no new door.
Doors that won't stay put
A door that drifts open or shut is hanging out of plumb, usually because the frame moved. Correcting the hinge barrel alignment, or shimming the frame back to plumb, stops it. Bending a hinge pin is a two-week fix at best.
Interior tracks
Pocket, bifold and bypass doors run on rollers and a head track. Jumping the track, dragging or refusing to close is almost always worn rollers, a loose track or an out-of-adjustment bottom guide.
Questions we get asked
- How much of the door has to come off?
- Usually none. Most adjustments are done with the door hanging — hinge screws, shims, strike position.
- Why did it start sticking suddenly?
- Seasonal humidity swells the slab and jamb by a millimetre or two, which is enough to turn a tight door into a stuck one. If it happens every year the reveal was too tight to start with, and that's correctable.
- Can you adjust several doors in one visit?
- Yes — the service call covers the trip, and multiple interior doors in the same house are usually done in a single visit.
