Whether you are near the Tallapoosa County Courthouse, over in Downtown Dadeville, or on the the courthouse square side of Dadeville, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
Dadeville has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Spring storm lines come through fast here and put a lot of wind pressure on doors before the rain even starts.
Damp jamb material loses its grip on screw threads, and a hinge screw that was tight in a dry jamb starts to spin once the wood around it has been at high moisture content for a couple of seasons.
A gust catching an open door and slamming it against its stop puts an enormous shock load through the top hinge, and that single event is often what starts a sag that develops over the following months.
We see the pattern often enough across Tallapoosa County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.
Local factors we account for in Dadeville: sustained humidity and storm wind — typical of east central Alabama.

- Measure the reveal all roundThe gap pattern around a sagging door points straight at which hinge has given up.
- Check what the screws are anchored intoMost repeat hinge failures are fastener failures, and that means finding the framing behind the jamb. Jobs in this part of the state get their weatherstrip assessed for heat and cold, since both extremes show up here.
- Rebuild the anchorageWhere the screws no longer bite, we fill and re-drill so the fixings reach solid material, then fit long screws into framing.
- Match the hinge to the doorWeight, size, throw and finish. Heavy doors and doors with closers need bearing hinges.
- Re-hang and check the revealEven gap top to bottom on the latch side, and a door that stays where you leave it.
- Silence it properlyOnce the geometry is right, the pins and knuckles are lubricated so the squeak does not simply come back.

We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a door hinge repair job in Dadeville, the main variables are these:
- the weight and size of the door
- whether the door also needs re-hanging or the strike relocated
- finish and security hardware selections
- whether the mortises or screw holes need rebuilding first
- standard hinges versus ball bearing or continuous hinges
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 Dadeville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Door hinge repair in Dadeville: questions we get asked
Will fixing the hinges fix my latching problem?
Frequently. A door that has dropped on its hinges puts the latch below the strike. Bringing the door back to position often means the lock works again with no other work.
What makes hinges squeal?
Dry or worn pins, and sometimes grit in the knuckles. In Dadeville the doors that squeal first are usually exterior doors, because moisture strips the lubricant and starts surface corrosion inside the knuckle.
Should I upgrade to security hinges on my exterior doors?
If the hinges are on the outside, yes. Non-removable pins or set screws stop the hinge side being an easy way in, and it is inexpensive compared with everything else you might do to secure an entry.
My door is sagging. Do I need a new door?
Almost never. A sagging door is a hinge problem, usually the top hinge losing its grip on the jamb. Once the fasteners are anchored into the framing properly the door comes back up and latches again.
How long does hinge work take?
Straightforward hinge replacement is usually under an hour. If the mortises are damaged or the door needs re-hanging and the strike relocated, allow longer.
How do I know which hinge is the problem?
Look at the gap between the door and the frame down the latch side. If it is tight at the top and wide at the bottom, the top hinge has pulled. That is the one carrying the most load and it fails first.
