What goes wrong with interior doors if you wait
Doors that stick or rub
Seasonal swelling and loose hinges make doors drag on the frame or floor, wearing the paint and making them hard to close.
Doors that will not latch
When the latch and strike plate no longer line up, the door pops open or will not stay closed.
Doors that swing on their own
A door that is out of plumb will drift open or shut by itself.
Damaged or dated doors
Holes, cracks and old hollow core doors make a home look tired and do little for privacy or sound.

How Lower Mainland weather affects interior doors
Indoor humidity in Lower Mainland homes rises through the damp, closed-up winter and drops in the summer. Wood doors and frames swell and shrink with it, so a door that fits perfectly in July can stick in December.
Older homes in the Tri-Cities have also had decades to settle, which pulls frames slightly out of square. Small hinge and strike adjustments usually solve the problem without major work.
Warning signs to watch for
- Doors that rub, stick or scrape the floor
- Doors that do not latch or stay closed
- Doors that swing open or shut on their own
- Loose or wobbly handles
- Holes, cracks or damaged door slabs
Maintenance tips
- Tighten hinge and handle screws once a year
- Lubricate hinges and latches
- Use door stoppers to protect walls and hardware
- Keep indoor humidity steady with ventilation
- Repaint doors when the finish wears through

Interior Door Repair & Installation: frequently asked questions
Can you fix a door that will not close?
Usually yes. Most often the hinges need tightening or shimming, or the strike plate needs adjusting.
Can you replace a hollow core door with a solid one?
Yes. Solid core doors feel more substantial and block more sound. We fit and hang them to your existing frame or install a new pre-hung unit.
Do you install pocket and barn doors?
Yes. We install sliding barn doors and can repair or replace pocket doors.
