Between Magnolia Springs proper, the Magnolia Springs Highway area and the newer building out toward Oak Street, we stay busy in Baldwin County, and Daphne is close enough that we are often nearby.
A lot of what we see in Baldwin 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.

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.
Grit tracked through a house works into hinge knuckles and into the bottom tracks of bifold and sliding closet doors, which is why closet doors in sandy areas jump their guides.
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.
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 Magnolia Springs: blowing sand 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.
- 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 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 quietlyA door should latch with a light push and stay latched without rattling. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.
- Work through the listIf you have five annoying doors, we would rather fix all five in one visit than come back five times.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Magnolia Springs: 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.
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.
Why do my hinges squeak so much?
Dry pins. It takes a minute per door to fix properly, and the right lubricant matters because oil-based products collect dust and end up making the noise come back worse.
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
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.
