Door Repairs in Burleigh Waters

Our door repairs service in Burleigh Waters

Common faults in older homes in Burleigh Waters

Older houses move, and the repair list reflects it: doors that drag as frames drop, cracked cornice and wall joints, gates that no longer latch because the post has rotted at ground level, and trim that has swollen in wet areas. We fix the cause rather than planing a door that will bind again next summer. 1980s and 90s low-set brick homes, canal properties and townhouses.

Sticking, dragging and misaligned doors

We diagnose why the door has moved before touching it - swelling, dropped hinges or frame movement all look similar and need different repairs. Hinge adjustment and packing is usually the right answer; easing the leading edge is a last resort and the cut face is always resealed.

Jambs, frames and door leaf repairs

Impact damage to jambs, split reveals, forced-entry damage and holes in hollow-core doors. Where a leaf is beyond an invisible repair we say so, because replacing an internal door is often cheaper than a repair that still looks repaired.

Locks, hardware and sliding doors

Locks, latches, handles, deadbolts, closers and privacy sets supplied and fitted, plus sliding door and cavity slider rollers, tracks and guides. Near the beach we specify hardware rated for coastal exposure, because standard finishes pit within a couple of years.

When several doors stick at once

Multiple doors binding at the same time, especially alongside cornice cracking, points to structural or subfloor movement rather than a door problem. In Burleigh Waters we will tell you that rather than adjusting doors that will move again next season - the structural work comes first, the door adjustment afterwards.
