Hinges carry the whole weight of a door. When screws strip out or hinges wear, the door sags and the lock stops lining up. We tighten, re-anchor and replace hinges, fit heavy-duty or security hinges, and correct the sag so the door works properly again.
When to call us
- The door sags at the latch side.
- Hinge screws are loose or stripped.
- Hinges squeak or bind.
- The door is heavy and hinges are undersized.
How the job works
- We inspect hinges and screws.
- Stripped holes are repaired and longer screws fitted into framing.
- Worn hinges are replaced.
- Security or heavy-duty hinges are fitted if needed.
- The door is tested.
Choosing hinges for heavy doors
Standard hinges are fine for lightweight interior doors, but solid wood and steel exterior doors need heavier hinges, often ball-bearing, and usually three or four per door. Undersized hinges wear quickly and let the door sag.
Security hinges with non-removable pins, or hinge studs that interlock when the door is closed, prevent a door with exposed hinges from being lifted off.
What affects the price
The dispatcher explains the service call before anyone is sent, and the technician confirms the total with you before starting any work that adds cost. The main price drivers are:
- Number of hinges.
- Hinge type and finish.
- Frame repair.
- Door weight.
