Straight answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually the frame has moved rather than the door. Wellington homes settle, and timber swells and shrinks with humidity, so the gap that used to work closes up. Worn hinges also let a door drop and drag. We find which of those it is before adjusting anything.
Almost always, yes. Sticking, dragging, dropped hinges, a latch that no longer catches, or a warped frame are all repairable, and repair costs a fraction of replacement. We only recommend a new door where the timber itself has rotted through or the damage is genuinely beyond a sensible fix.
Yes, and they are one of the more common jobs we see. Tracks fill with grit, rollers wear flat, and the door starts jumping or needing both hands to move. Cleaning the track and replacing the wheels usually restores smooth gliding without touching the door or frame itself.
Yes. We repair or replace locks, latches, strike plates, and handles on interior and exterior doors. If a lock has failed on an entry door we treat it as urgent, because your home is not properly secured until it works, and we can usually upgrade the hardware at the same time.
Most door repairs are a single visit, often under two hours. If your front door will not lock or close, call 04 488 0004 and we will prioritise it rather than book you weeks out. Jobs needing a specific part ordered in may take a few days longer.
