THE REAL ISSUE

A Sticking Door Can Have Several Causes

A door can stick, rub, swing, or miss the latch for several reasons. Loose hinges, hardware alignment, seasonal movement, swelling, frame conditions, or broader building movement can produce similar symptoms.

Suitable hinge, strike, and minor alignment adjustments may fit handyman scope. Full door or frame replacement, major warping, moisture damage, fire-rated assemblies, and structural conditions require a different solution.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE HIRING FOR.

Straight answers about scope, fit, timing, pricing, and the next step.

01 · SCOPE

What This Service Includes

Suitable work may include:

  • Inspecting door alignment, hinges, gaps, latch, strike, and visible frame condition
  • Tightening or replacing suitable loose hinge screws
  • Making appropriate hinge, shim, or strike adjustments
  • Performing minor planing or sanding when the door and surrounding condition are suitable
  • Checking open, close, and latch operation after the agreed adjustment

Whether an adjustment is appropriate depends on the door, frame, hardware, visible damage, moisture conditions, and the cause of the problem.

02 · FIT

Who This Service Is (and Isn’t) For

This service may fit:

  • Doors that rub, stick, or miss the latch
  • Loose or visibly shifted hinges
  • Minor strike-plate or latch alignment issues
  • Interior or exterior residential doors with otherwise sound components

This may not be the right fit for:

  • Severely warped or damaged doors
  • Rot, moisture damage, or failed frames
  • Structural or foundation movement
  • Full door or frame replacement
  • Fire-rated or specialty doors requiring qualified work

If the work is for a rental property you personally own, use our separate rental-property intake form instead of the standard homeowner intake.

03 · TIMING

When a Handyman is the Right Choice

A handyman may be a fit when the condition is limited to suitable hinge, latch, strike, or minor alignment adjustments.

Photos of the full door, gaps, hinges, latch, strike, and frame help distinguish an adjustment from moisture, damage, or a broader structural issue.

04 · PRICING

Pricing Expectations (What Homeowners Should Know)

Pricing depends on the number of doors, degree and cause of misalignment, hinge and hardware condition, frame condition, access, and whether suitable minor materials or adjustments are needed.

Photos help determine whether the condition appears appropriate for an adjustment or needs a different repair approach.

05 · WHY US

Benefits of Working with Unstoppable Handyman

We review the visible door, frame, gaps, hinges, latch, and strike before confirming scope. If the condition suggests replacement, moisture damage, or structural movement, we’ll explain that rather than promise an adjustment will solve it.

07 · COMMON QUESTIONS

Service FAQs

Why won’t my door latch unless I push it?
Hinge or strike alignment may be involved, but swelling, wear, frame movement, or damage can cause similar symptoms.

Can this be fixed without replacing the door?
Sometimes. That depends on the door, frame, hardware, gaps, and cause of the problem.

Do you need to remove the door?
That depends on what the inspection shows and which adjustment is appropriate.

Can you address rubbing at the frame?
Suitable minor adjustments may fit our scope. Severe warping, damage, moisture, or structural movement may require another provider.

Can several doors be reviewed together?
Yes. Send photos of each door and identify which symptoms apply to each one.
