Door Repair and Installation for Scarborough Homes

Door repair and installation in Scarborough is mostly patio doors and closet doors. The bungalows and backsplits through Wexford, Agincourt, Guildwood and West Hill were built with a slider onto the rear deck and long runs of bifold closets, and both wear out at the hardware first.

I am Sercan and I come out on my own. A slider that fights you often needs rollers and a track, not a new door. A closet door that jumps out needs the top track set straight again. I will say plainly which parts your job needs before any work begins.

Scarborough's 1960s and 70s bungalows and backsplits nearly all have an aluminum sliding door onto a rear deck, and after fifty winters the rollers are worn flat and the bottom track is dented, so the door is dragged rather than rolled. That is the call I get most often here. The separate side entrances common in Agincourt, Wexford and West Hill are frequently the door to a basement apartment, so they need a solid slab, a tight weather seal and a strike bored to line up with the deadbolt.

How It Runs

From Message to Finished Job

1
Read the reveal

I look at the gap around the door before touching anything. Where it is tight, where it is wide, and how the latch meets the strike tells me whether the trouble is the hinges, the jamb, the floor or the door itself.

2
Fix the cause

Most doors come right by resetting hinge screws into framing, plugging stripped holes, shimming a hinge leaf or re-cutting the strike plate. Planing stays a last resort, and any bare edge gets sealed once the fit is correct.

3
Hang or replace

Where a door or jamb is past saving, the hinge jamb is set plumb and shimmed behind every hinge, the reveal is checked from top to bottom, and hardware is bored and mortised to fit rather than forced into place.

4
Work the door

The door is swung through its full arc, left at several positions to confirm it stays put, then latched and unlatched repeatedly with the strike adjusted until it catches cleanly without needing a shove.

What Affects the Price in Scarborough

Adjusting a door that drags is usually short work, and several doors in the same visit share one setup. Cost rises with an opening that is out of plumb, a sagging or split jamb, hardware that has been repaired badly before, or an exterior door where the threshold and weather stripping also need attention. Fitting a slab into an existing jamb takes longer than hanging a pre-hung unit, because the hinges have to be mortised and the hardware bored. Doors and hardware can be supplied either way, and the price is agreed before work starts.

Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.

Asked in Scarborough

My patio slider barely moves. Do I need a whole new door?

Often not. On the aluminum sliders in Scarborough bungalows the rollers wear flat and the bottom track gets dented, and both can be renewed with the panel lifted out and set back in. While it is out I check the frame for square and look at the glass seals. If the frame has rusted through or the glass has fogged between the panes, a new unit is the sensible route.
