Sliding patio door roller rebuilds, latch alignment, pre-hung door installation, and smart lock upgrades across the Treasure Valley.
We make your doors open and close effortlessly. We adjust mortised hinges with long structural framing screws, realign strike plates, and install smart deadbolts so they never jam. For sliding glass patio doors, we replace worn nylon rollers with heavy-duty stainless steel ball bearings so the door glides with one finger.
We diagnose the underlying cause before starting work, protect your floors and furniture with drop cloths, and confirm the expected time and scope before work begins.
You should not have to lift a handle, throw your shoulder into the front door, or jiggle a deadbolt just to lock up at night. Sticking doors are almost never a bad door slab - they happen because the hinge screws or jambs have shifted. Here is what happens at each doorway, why sanding the door ruins the seal, and how we fix the alignment.
Why It Happens: builders often hang heavy exterior doors using short 3/4-inch screws that only bite into the thin pine jamb. Over time, the door weight pulls the top hinge outward so the top corner rubs and cold air pours in.
Where & How We Fix It: Instead of planing down your door edge, we pull the hinge pins, drive 3-inch structural screws through the top hinge straight into the king stud framing to pull the door square, and install fresh compression weatherstripping and an adjustable door sweep.
Why It Happens: 300-pound insulated glass panels roll on two small undercarriage assemblies. When pet hair, grit, and patio dust pack into the bottom track, the wheels develop flat spots and grind the aluminum rail.
Where & How We Fix It: We lift the heavy sliding panel safely out of the frame, clean and dress the track rail, replace crushed rollers with sealed stainless steel tandem ball-bearing rollers, and calibrate the latch hook.
Why It Happens: If a deadbolt bolt scrapes the side of the metal strike plate by even 1/8 inch as it extends, a motorized keypad lock has to fight friction every time it locks - jamming the motor and draining batteries.
Where & How We Fix It: We align the strike plate opening to the true travel of the bolt, chisel a deep clean mortise pocket into the jamb, and secure the heavy-duty strike box with 3-inch screws into the framing stud.
Why It Happens: House settling shifts interior hollow-core jambs out of plumb so latches barely catch the lip of the strike plate, while closet bifold pivot pins wear through stamped steel floor brackets.
Where & How We Fix It: We shim and reset interior hinges, adjust strike tabs for a quiet click-shut latch, and replace worn bifold pivot pins and overhead nylon roller carriages.
Clear expectations before we arrive, careful protection while we work in your home, and a thorough walkthrough together before we wrap up.
We check the door frame for plumb, inspect hinge gaps, and test latch clearances.
We replace worn rollers, cap damaged tracks, adjust strike plates, or install new hardware.
We adjust weatherstripping for a tight seal and verify the door opens and latches smoothly.
Typical project guide: Hourly billing + upfront time estimate (zero travel fee in Treasure Valley) (per repair project). We bill hourly for repairs with an upfront time estimate before we start - and if we uncover hidden damage behind a wall or frame, we pause and show you first.
