Door Hardware Installation FAQs

Dealing with sticky doors, misaligned latches, or the frustration of installing multiple hinges doesn’t have to compromise the function or security of your home. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our clients in Summit and Portage Counties ask about our professional door hardware installation, hinge replacement, and adjustment services.

My door is sticking or sagging. Can new hinges fix that?

Yes, often. Doors can stick or sag due to old, worn-out hinges or screws that have pulled slightly out of the frame. We can replace old hinges with high-quality, new hardware to address alignment issues. We also ensure that all hinge screws are securely fastened, often using longer screws to anchor into the stud behind the frame, guaranteeing the door hangs correctly and operates smoothly without scraping the jamb or floor.

Does your service cover all components, including the latch and strike plate?

Absolutely. When installing or replacing a handle set or knob, we ensure every related component is perfectly aligned and functional. This includes:

• The knob or lever itself.
• The latch mechanism inside the door edge.
• The strike plate on the door jamb, ensuring the latch engages securely and quietly. We adjust the plate as necessary so the door closes tightly without rattling.

Can you install specialized hardware like door closers, peepholes, or security plates?

Yes, we are fully equipped to install specialized hardware. This includes hydraulic door closers for storm or garage doors, wide-angle peepholes for added security, and heavy-duty security plates around the lock area to reinforce the door jamb against forced entry. We ensure all specialty hardware is mounted securely and calibrated for smooth, reliable function.
