Our Egypt customers are spread from the US-411 corridor to the Coosa River and out around the Coosa River valley, and we serve the surrounding Etowah County communities on the same schedule.
Egypt 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.
One call gets you an answer.We will tell you what is wrong and what it takes to fix.

Storms coming off the ridges dump a lot of water in a short time, and any door with a compromised threshold pan will show it on the floor inside.
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.
Interior doors move seasonally with the house, and the dry heated air of winter shrinks door slabs enough that latches that fit tightly in summer start rattling in January.
We factor that in on every interior door repair job around the Coosa River valley and the rest of Egypt.
Local factors we account for in Egypt: heavy rainfall and winter freezes — typical of the Appalachian foothills.

- 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.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- Try the reversible fix firstA door planed in a wet August is a door with a gap in January, so we exhaust adjustment before removing material.
- Repair the hardware properlyStripped hinge holes get rebuilt rather than packed with matchsticks.
- Set the latch to close quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow. In the foothills we check exposure on each elevation, since a door on the weather side ages at a completely different rate to one that is sheltered.
- Work through the listIf you have five annoying doors, we would rather fix all five in one visit than come back five times.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Egypt
What a interior door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
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 Egypt.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Egypt: questions we get asked
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.
Are bifold closet doors worth repairing?
Usually yes. The pivots and top guides are inexpensive parts and they are what fails. The doors themselves are rarely the problem.
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.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Egypt it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the house.
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.
