Find why it sticks before taking material off the door. Mora Home Services repairs sticking, dragging and poorly latching doors in upper Montgomery County. We assess the hinges, door edges, frame and strike together to locate the cause. Work can include hardware replacement, alignment and limited fitting adjustments. We test the full swing and latch after the agreed repair.

Door repair restores the fit and operation of the door within its frame. Hinges support the door, while the latch must line up with the metal plate on the frame for it to close properly.
What the Visit Covers
We check the movement and contact points before choosing the repair. A loose hinge can look like a swollen door. A shifted strike can make a sound lock difficult to use.
Sticking and dragging assessment
Hinge fastening, adjustment or replacement
Latch and strike alignment
Door-edge fitting where appropriate
Localized frame and hardware assessment
Sweep and threshold adjustment as part of an agreed door repair
Signs the Door Needs Adjustment
You lift the handle to make the latch engage
The door edge rubs at the top or side
Loose hinges let the door sag
The door moves on its own or needs force to close
Repair the Cause Before Choosing Replacement
We check hinge security and the frame before trimming an edge. Seasonal movement can affect the fit, and removing too much material can leave a gap later. A warped door or badly damaged frame may need replacement. We explain that finding before expanding the work.

Yes. We check for hinge sag and strike misalignment first, then agree on the adjustment needed.
No. Loose hinges or frame alignment may be the cause. We assess those before removing material from the door.
Sometimes. The extent of damage and the condition of the door determine whether a repair to that area makes sense.
No. Leave it in place so we can assess how it operates. Clear the area enough for the door to swing fully.
