Door Repair Services in Barrie, ON
From squeaky hinges to doors that won't latch, we handle all the fixes that keep your home running smoothly.
Common Door Problems We Fix
Doors take a beating. They swell in summer, shrink in winter, get slammed by kids, and eventually stop working right. Maybe yours won't close all the way. Maybe it drags on the floor or sticks in the frame. Maybe the latch doesn't catch anymore and you're jiggling the handle every time you leave.
We fix all of it. Hinges that squeak or sag. Frames that shifted when the house settled. Locksets that spin but don't lock. Weather stripping that's cracked and letting drafts through. If it's a door and it's not doing its job, we'll get it sorted. Most repairs take an hour or two, and you'll notice the difference immediately.
We work on interior doors (bedroom, bathroom, closet) and exterior doors (front, back, garage entry). If you need Minor Carpentry to rebuild a rotted frame or Drywall Repair around a new jamb, we handle that too. One call covers the whole fix.
Door Adjustment and Hardware Replacement
Sometimes the door itself is fine - it's the hardware that's the problem. Hinges wear out. Screws strip. Locksets get loose or break internally. We carry common replacement parts and can swap them out on the spot. If your door just needs a tune-up (planing the edge, tightening the strike plate, shimming a hinge), we'll do that instead of selling you new hardware you don't need.
Adjustments matter more than people think. A door that's even slightly out of alignment puts stress on the hinges and the latch. Over time that makes everything worse. We'll check the whole assembly, not just the obvious problem spot, so the fix actually lasts.
Door Installation and Replacement
If your door is beyond repair - cracked, warped, or just ugly - we can install a new one. You buy the door (or we can pick one up for you), and we'll hang it, set the hinges, install the lockset, and make sure it swings smooth and seals tight. Pre-hung doors are faster. Slab doors (just the door itself) take a bit more work but give you more control over the look.
We also do closet doors (bifold, sliding, bypass), storm doors, and screen doors. If you're in Innisfil or Springwater and dealing with an old exterior door that leaks air, a new one pays for itself in heating costs pretty quick. We'll walk you through options that fit your budget.
Need Fixture Installation for a new deadbolt or smart lock after we hang the door? We do that same visit. No need to call someone else.
Why Doors Stop Working (and How We Prevent It)
Doors fail for a few predictable reasons. Wood expands and contracts with humidity. Hinges loosen because the screws are too short or the holes are stripped. Frames shift when the foundation settles or the house moves seasonally. Locksets wear out from daily use. Most of this is normal - houses aren't static, and doors are moving parts.
When we fix a door, we're also looking at why it failed. If the screws pulled out, we'll use longer ones or fill the holes and re-drill. If the frame is out of square, we'll shim it properly. If the door edge is rubbing, we'll plane it and seal the raw wood so it doesn't swell again next summer. The goal isn't just to make it work today - it's to keep it working.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to fix a door that won't close?
Most door adjustments (tightening hinges, planing an edge, fixing a latch) run $100-$200 depending on how long it takes. If we need to replace hardware or shim the frame, it might be a bit more. We'll give you a price once we see what's going on. Simple fixes are usually under $150.
Can you fix a door that's dragging on the floor?
Yeah, that's one of the most common calls we get. Usually it's because the hinges sagged or the door swelled. We'll either tighten or shim the hinges, or plane a bit off the bottom edge. Takes about an hour in most cases. If the floor itself is the problem (like new tile raised the threshold), we can adjust for that too.
Do you install new door locks and deadbolts?
Yep. We install locksets, deadbolts, and smart locks. If you already bought one, we'll put it in. If you need help picking one, we can grab it for you or point you to what works. Most installs take 30-60 minutes. If the door needs new holes drilled (switching from a passage knob to a keyed lock, for example), we handle that too.
