Whether you are near Troy University, over in Downtown Troy, or on the the university district side of Troy, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Troy 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.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why interior door repair fails in the Wiregrass
The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.
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.
It is why the same repair done properly in Troy lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Troy: blowing sand and heavy rainfall — typical of the Wiregrass.

- 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. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
- Adjust before cuttingPlaning a door is permanent. We correct hinges and strikes first, because most sticking doors do not need any material removed.
- 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.
- 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.

What a interior door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- 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 Troy.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Troy: 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.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Troy 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.
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.
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.
