Door Frame Repair in Toronto: local context
Toronto's freeze-thaw winters swell and shrink door frames, and older buildings often have frames that have moved out of square. A repair that ignores the frame will not last, so we assess the whole opening. Typical callers: homeowners after break-ins, shop owners and landlords.
What we will and won't do
Fire-rated doors keep their rating: we use listed parts and never drill or cut a rated door beyond its listing.
Frequently asked questions
Will the door need replacing?
Only if the door itself is damaged. Many doors can be saved when the frame is repaired properly.
Can a broken frame be repaired?
Often. Small sections are replaced or bonded, and the strike area is reinforced.
Do you paint after the repair?
We leave the work ready for paint. Finishing is usually done by the owner or a decorator.
