Humidity stays high from late spring through September, which is exactly when wood doors that fit fine in winter start dragging on the jamb.
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.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.
Local factors we account for in Fayette: sustained humidity and storm wind — typical of west Alabama.

- Ask which doors and whenOne door is a door problem. Five doors on one floor is a building problem, and the fix is different.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes. Jobs out this way get their fixings checked into framing rather than casing, which is what stops the sag coming back.
- 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 quietlyA door should latch with a light push and stay latched without rattling.
- 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) 619-2895Interior door repair in Fayette: questions we get asked
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Fayette 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.
