Reform sits in Pickens County, and our work here runs from Main Street out past the Luxapallila Creek, with Aliceville and Carrollton close enough that we are usually in the area anyway.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Reform homes have wood frames and hardware worth repairing rather than replacing, while newer construction tends to have vinyl and aluminum systems where the moving parts wear out long before anything else does.

West Alabama collects a lot of rain, and it comes in hard bursts. Doors here fail at the bottom first, where water sits against the sweep and the end grain.
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.
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 Reform lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Reform: storm wind and heavy rainfall — typical of west Alabama.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach interior door repair
- 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.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- 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. Across west Alabama we check the frame anchorage carefully, because seasonal soil movement works fixings loose over time.
- 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) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Reform
Pricing on interior door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
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 Reform.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Reform: questions we get asked
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.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Reform 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.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Reform 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.
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.
My bathroom door locked with a child inside. Can that be prevented?
Yes. Privacy sets have an emergency release on the outside, and if it did not work the latch has failed and needs replacing. It is a cheap part and worth doing on every privacy door in the house.
