Two storm seasons a year, spring and late fall, push water and debris against exterior doors across the metro.
Humid months swell interior door slabs, and any door that was already close on clearance starts binding at the top corner, which is far and away the most common interior door complaint in this climate.
Household dust in hinge knuckles is what makes interior doors squeak, and grit in bifold and pocket door tracks is what makes them bind and jump.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Alabaster summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Alabaster: sustained humidity and grit and dust — typical of the Birmingham metro.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach interior door repair
- Look at the whole house, not one doorWhen several doors in a {city} home start sticking in the same season, the story is usually about the house rather than the doors.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround.
- Set the latch to close quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- Work through the whole listInterior doors come in groups. It is far cheaper to do them in one visit than to call us back for each one. Metro-area openings often sit on clay that moves seasonally, so we check the frame for square before touching the hardware.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Alabaster: questions we get asked
Why do my doors rattle when the HVAC runs?
Air pressure is moving the door in a latch-to-strike gap that has opened up. Adjusting the strike takes minutes and it is one of the most satisfying small fixes in a house.
Can you hang a barn door properly?
Yes, and the important part is the backing. Barn door track has to be fixed into solid framing, not into drywall with anchors, or the whole thing eventually pulls off the wall.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Alabaster it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
How many doors can you do in one visit?
Most of a typical house. Interior door work is quick once we are on site, and doing them together is far better value than calling us back for each one.
Do you replace interior doors as well as repair them?
Yes. A new slab hung in the existing frame is a common job and much simpler than replacing the whole frame and casing.
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the house.
