Common Door Problems and Their Repair Costs
Sticking door (adjustment) — Hinge tightening, strike plate adjustment, or minor planing. Most basic adjustments are handled within a standard minimum visit charge of $75–$150.
Door that won't latch — Strike plate repositioning or adjustment. Often a 15–30 minute job included in a minimum visit.
Hardware replacement (lock, handle, hinges) — Labor $50–$100 plus hardware cost. Customer-supplied hardware reduces cost.
Full door replacement — New door, properly fitted and hung — $150–$300+ labor depending on door type and any required frame work.
What Affects Cost
Whether the problem is adjustment (less expensive) or replacement (more expensive). The door type — standard interior doors vs. heavy exterior doors vs. specialty hardware. Whether hardware is customer-supplied or provided by the installer.
Bundling Door Work
If you have multiple doors with issues, addressing them in a single visit is significantly more cost-effective than separate appointments.
