A lot of what we see in Mobile County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Chickasaw conditions and interior door repair
Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.
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.
Wet weather raises indoor humidity noticeably, and the interior doors that stick after several rainy days are responding to that rather than to anything structural.
It is why the same repair done properly in Chickasaw lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Chickasaw: sustained humidity and heavy rainfall — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

- Look at the house, not one doorIf several doors have started sticking in the same season, the cause is usually humidity or movement rather than the doors.
- Tell sag from swelling from frame movementThey present identically and need completely different work, so this is worth getting right before anything is cut. On the coast we also check every fastener on the opening, because salt finds plated screws long before it touches the door itself.
- Try the reversible fix firstA door planed in a wet August is a door with a gap in January, so we exhaust adjustment before removing material.
- Repair the hardware properlyStripped hinge holes get rebuilt rather than packed with matchsticks.
- 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.
- Leave the set consistentDoors through a house should feel the same to use. We adjust the others while we are there rather than leaving one odd one.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Chickasaw
What a interior door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Chickasaw.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Chickasaw: questions we get asked
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Chickasaw homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
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 a pocket door be fixed without tearing open the wall?
Very often, yes. Most pocket door repairs come down to the roller hangers, and on many systems the door can be removed and the hangers replaced through the opening without opening the wall.
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.
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.
Are bifold closet doors worth repairing?
Usually yes. The pivots and top guides are inexpensive parts and they are what fails. The doors themselves are rarely the problem.
