The Situation

Doors That Sit Right and Stay That Way

A door that swings smoothly, latches without lifting it, and has an even gap all round is a small thing you notice every day.

Replacing dated doors through a house is also one of the quickest updates there is. Days rather than weeks, with you still living there.

  • Doors that swing open or shut on their own
  • A gap that is wide at one end and closed at the other
  • Having to lift a door to get it to latch
  • Hinges pulling out of the frame
  • Flat, dated doors that make the whole house look older
How We Do It

Fix the Frame and the Door Behaves

Almost every door problem is a frame problem. If the frame is straight and level, a door hung to it will sit right and stay that way.

So we start there. The frame is packed and fixed straight, then the door is hung, the gaps set and the handles fitted at a consistent height.

  • Check the opening and pack the frame straight in both directions
  • A written quote covering the doors, frames and hardware
  • Fix the frame so it cannot move later
  • Hang the door with an even gap top, bottom and both sides
  • Hinges set in properly, and handles at a consistent height

Asked Questions

Door and Door Frame Questions

  • Per door it is a small job, and it gets cheaper per door the more you do at once because the set-up is shared. Replacing a frame as well costs more than hanging into an existing one. We quote the job in writing.

  • Yes. That is almost always a frame out of plumb, so the door is finding its own level. It can sometimes be corrected by adjusting the hinges, but properly it means repacking and refixing the jamb.

  • Yes, though it depends on the wall. In a non-load-bearing wall it is straightforward. In a load-bearing one it needs a lintel sized for the new span, which is structural work.

  • Yes. External doors also need weather sealing, a threshold that sheds water and hardware suited to being outside, so there is more to them than an internal door.

  • Often. Older profiles are sometimes no longer made, in which case replacing the doors through a whole area gives a better result than one new door that does not quite match its neighbours.

  • Yes. We work across the City of Casey, the City of Knox, Cardinia Shire and Greater Dandenong. See areas we serve for your suburb.

Why Doors Drop

A door that has dropped has usually pulled its top hinge, and that is generally because the hinge was fixed into a jamb with nothing solid behind it. The weight of the door does the rest over a few years.

Refixing into solid timber, or packing the jamb properly first, is the actual fix. Simply driving longer screws into the same soft material buys a year or two at best.

Replacing Doors Through a Whole House

Changing every internal door is one of the more effective updates in an older home, and it is a job that finishes in days rather than weeks. Flat panel doors from the 1980s and 1990s date a house immediately.

It pairs naturally with replacing skirting and architraves, since the architraves come off anyway and the profiles need to relate to each other.
