Door Repair by Better Call Locksmith Toronto

Many lock problems are really door problems. A door that has dropped on its hinges, a frame split in a break-in, a sidelite that was smashed, or a door that sticks every summer will defeat even the best lock. We repair doors, frames, hinges and door glass, make damaged doors secure 24/7, and replace doors that are beyond repair.

Door Repair services

Break-In RepairAfter a break-in, the first priority is safety, the second is evidence, and the third is making the door secure again. Emergency Door RepairEmergency door repair is about making a door close, latch and lock tonight when it cannot wait until morning: a door knocked off its hinges, a frame damaged by a vehicle or storm, a commercial door that will not shut at closing, or a door damaged during a lockout attempt. Door Glass & SidelitesWhen door glass or a sidelite beside a door is broken, the lock can be reached from outside, so the door is no longer secure. Exterior Door Security RepairExterior door security repair strengthens the doors that protect your home: front, side, back and basement entrances. Sticking & Sagging DoorsA door that sticks, sags, drags or will not latch is usually hanging out of square, not suffering from a broken lock. Door HingesHinges carry the whole weight of a door. Front Door ReplacementFront door replacement makes sense when a door is damaged beyond repair, rotten, badly insulated or simply not secure. Garage Entry Doors & LocksGarages are a common way into a home, because the door from the garage into the house is often treated as an interior door. Door Frame RepairWood and metal frame repair: replacing jamb sections, reinforcing the strike area and re-aligning the door.. Fire Door InstallationFire-rated doors, frames and hardware installed to keep the rating intact.. Garage Door Lock RepairLocks and latches on garage doors and garage side doors, repaired or replaced so the space is secure again.. Security Screen Door InstallationSteel-framed screen doors with keyed locks and tough mesh for airflow with better security..

When to call us

  • A door has been forced or damaged.
  • The door sticks, drags or will not latch.
  • Hinges are loose or the door sags.
  • Door glass or a sidelite is cracked or broken.

How the job works

  1. Describe the damage or symptom, and send photos if you can.
  2. For break-ins, we make the door secure first.
  3. The technician checks hinges, frame, strike and lock together.
  4. Repairs or replacement are quoted before work begins.
  5. The door is tested for closing, latching and locking.

Door first, then lock

A door that is square, well hung and firmly latched makes any lock work better. A door that has dropped, a frame that has split, or a door that swells in summer makes even a good lock unreliable. That is why our door repairs always start by looking at hinges, gaps and the strike before touching the lock.

When a door has been damaged by force, the frame around the strike usually takes the damage. Repairing and reinforcing it, rather than simply replacing the lock, restores the door's real strength.

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:

  • Adjustment versus repair versus replacement.
  • Door and frame material.
  • Glass or sidelite replacement.
  • Emergency after-hours work.

Hardware we see in Toronto

Residential and commercial doors, frames, hinges, strikes, door glass and sidelites, and the locks mounted on them.

Door Repair in Toronto: local context

Toronto's freeze-thaw cycles, older housing stock and busy commercial doors mean doors shift, swell and wear. Break-ins most often damage the frame around the lock rather than the lock itself.

What we will and won't do

Structural frame or wall damage may need a carpenter or contractor; we will tell you when that is the case.

Frequently asked questions

Is it the lock or the door?

If the key turns but the door will not latch, or you have to push or lift the door, it is usually the door. We check both.

Can you secure a door after a break-in tonight?

Yes, we operate 24/7 and can make it secure, then plan a permanent repair.

Do you replace doors?

Yes, when repair is not practical.
