Click to Call (205) 619-2895How conditions in Fyffe affect interior door repair
Snow and sleet are more common here than almost anywhere else in Alabama, and meltwater refreezing in a sliding door track is a recurring winter problem.
Winter's dry indoor air shrinks wood slabs and frames, so doors that stuck in August rattle in their frames by January, and the strike adjustment that fixed one season is wrong in the other.
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 Sand Mountain farmland and the rest of Fyffe.
Local factors we account for in Fyffe: ice and sleet and winter freezes — typical of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain plateau.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our interior door repair process
- Look at the whole house, not one doorWhen several doors in a {city} home start sticking in the same season, the story is usually about the house rather than the doors.
- Tell sag from swelling from frame movementThey present identically and need completely different work, so this is worth getting right before anything is cut.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround.
- 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.
- Work through the listIf you have five annoying doors, we would rather fix all five in one visit than come back five times. We check the drainage for ice blockage on mountain openings, which is a fault that only shows up on the coldest days.

- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- hollow core versus solid core doors

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Fyffe: questions we get asked
How many doors can you do in one visit?
Most of a typical house. Interior door work is quick once we are on site, and doing them together is far better value than calling us back for each one.
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.
Why do my doors rattle when the HVAC runs?
Air pressure is moving the door in a latch-to-strike gap that has opened up. Adjusting the strike takes minutes and it is one of the most satisfying small fixes in a house.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Fyffe 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.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Fyffe homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
Can you hang a barn door properly?
Yes, and the important part is the backing. Barn door track has to be fixed into solid framing, not into drywall with anchors, or the whole thing eventually pulls off the wall.
One call gets you an answer.We will tell you what is wrong and what it takes to fix.
