Our territory takes in Brundidge and the communities around it in Pike County, so calls from Main Street, the US-231 corridor and out by the Brundidge peanut butter museum all get the same response.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Brundidge 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.

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.
The bottom of the meeting stile is the hardest place on a house to keep watertight, and heavy rain against a French door pair will find any weakness in the sill seal or the threshold there.
Grit at the threshold of a French door pair works into the flush bolt sockets at the sill, and a flush bolt that will not seat leaves the inactive leaf floating, which throws the whole pair out.
We factor that in on every french door repair job around the Brundidge peanut butter museum and the rest of Brundidge.
Local factors we account for in Brundidge: heavy rainfall and blowing sand — typical of the Wiregrass.

- Measure the reveal all the way aroundThe gap pattern between the leaves and around the frame tells us exactly what has moved and in which direction.
- Check each leaf on its ownWith the inactive leaf bolted, we test the active one, then reverse it. Faults that look shared usually are not.
- Correct the hinges firstA dropped leaf makes every lock and seal fault worse. Hinges and fixings get sorted before the multipoint is touched. In the Wiregrass we check tracks and channels for fine sand, which grinds moving parts flat faster than anything else in the state.
- Rebuild the seal at the meeting stileAstragal weatherstrip is the hardest working seal on the door and it is usually the one that has been ignored.
- Set the locking hardwareKeepers adjusted so the shootbolts engage top and bottom with the handle lifting smoothly and no forcing.
- Test both leaves through a full cycleBoth doors should close, latch and seal without force.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of french door repair in Brundidge
What a french door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- astragal, weatherstrip and threshold replacement
- multipoint lock repair versus full gearbox replacement
- interior versus exterior pairs, since exterior work includes weatherproofing
- glass replacement in individual lites
- whether the frame itself has moved and needs correcting
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 Brundidge.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895French door repair in Brundidge: questions we get asked
There is a draft right down the middle of my French doors. What fixes it?
The astragal weatherstrip on the meeting stile. It compresses flat over time and stops sealing, and it is a straightforward replacement that makes a large difference in Brundidge winters.
Can one lite of glass be replaced or does the whole door need doing?
Individual lites can normally be replaced on their own. That is one of the advantages of a true divided or simulated divided light door.
Are French doors less secure than a single door?
They can be, because there are two leaves and a joint in the middle. Reinforced strikes, solid flush bolts and long fasteners into the framing make a big difference and are inexpensive.
The handle on my French door spins without doing anything. What broke?
The multipoint gearbox or the drive connection inside the door. That is a replacement part matched to the specific system, and it is worth identifying the manufacturer before ordering.
Why will my multipoint lock not throw anymore?
The door has moved, so the lock points no longer line up with their keepers in the frame. Forcing the handle in that state is how the gearbox breaks, so it is worth correcting the alignment before something expensive fails.
Do you work on interior French doors too?
Yes. Interior pairs have simpler hardware but exactly the same alignment problems, and they are usually a quick fix.
