Door Repair
Doors, especially the front and back doors as well as the sliding door leading to the fire exit ladder on your balcony, are your home’s most rudimentary security features. Minor door repairs, which involve hinges, latches, and locking mechanisms getting damaged, can be effectively and safely addressed DIY style with the right tools and equipment. But similar to serious window repair, kitchen cabinet repair, drawer repair, and wood board repair cases–especially if the damage directly impacts structural integrity–major door repair issues are best left to the care of a professional handyman.
Which Door Repair Issues Can Be Safely Resolved by DIY Fixes?
An appropriately sized screwdriver, screws, measuring tools, and a portable drill can help and are often adequate to address the following door repair issues on wooden, metal, and fiberglass doors:
- door and metal gate lock replacement
- door and metal gate latch replacement
- HDB toilet door lock replacement
- door hinge replacement
- door stopper installation
- door closer installation
- deadbolt replacement or installation
Putting in a deadbolt lock, though, might require more skills than installing a conventional door locking mechanism. Replacing a faulty deadbolt lock is easy, but installing one might be a job best left to a skilled handyman.
Which Door Repair Issues Are Best Left To Professional Handyman Services?
The following door repair problems involve more than just basic carpentry skills. Technical agility and range, as well as skills derived from the experience of actually repairing doors, play a role in addressing them properly.
- door frames repair
- door alignment
- sliding door roller replacement
The door frame bears the load of the repetitive opening and closing of the door, so it is highly subjected to so much wear and tear. With an appropriate wood filler or putty blended thoroughly, covered up with primer and paint (or your choice of finishing), you can touch up superficial dents and any cosmetic faults on the door frame. But if the damage affects the door frame’s structure, such as a water-damaged or rotted door frame, it is more prudent to seek the services of a professional handyman in dismantling and replacing the damaged door frame.
A misaligned door can sometimes be fixed by simply tightening the screws or readjusting the latch or hinge that holds the door to the door frame. But if the fix for the misaligned door involves rehanging it, you might want to turn to a door repairman for that because that job is more like rebuilding the entire door.
Replacing damaged sliding door rollers sounds easy because you can buy new rollers anytime to replace the defective ones. But you will need to be able to remove the sliding glass or wooden door so you can put in the new rollers, disassemble screws to remove and replace the rollers on both sides of the door, and re-installing the sliding door back into its track. Consider calling in a home service repairman to have the sliding door repair job done properly for you.
