Door Repair & Adjustment in San Angelo, TX
Doors are honest reporters of what a house is doing. When San Angelo's soil shifts through the dry and wet swings, frames rack just enough that a door starts to stick, drag the carpet, or swing open on its own. We fix the cause, not just the symptom.
We plane and rehang where needed, reset hinges, adjust strike plates, and swap worn weatherstripping so the door latches clean and keeps the conditioned air where it belongs. From bedroom doors to sun-beaten exterior slabs, we get them square again.

- Hinge and screw resetting
- Strike plate and latch alignment

How a door repair & adjustment visit usually goes
Find the bind
We read the rub marks, check the frame and slab with a level, and trace whether the trouble is hinges, strike, swollen wood or a frame that has moved with the soil.
Fix the cause
Depending on what we find, that means longer hinge screws driven into the stud, shimmed or reset hinges, a carefully planed edge, or a strike relocated so the latch lands where it should.
Seal the envelope
On exterior doors we replace flattened weatherstripping, adjust or swap the threshold and sweep, and close up the daylight gaps that let dust and hot summer air slip inside.
Prove it works
We swing, latch and lock every door we touched, check that the reveal lines run even, and leave the hardware snug, so you should not think about that door again for years.
The mid-century homes around College Hills and Santa Rita were hung with solid wood doors you cannot buy cheaply anymore, and we lean toward saving them, since planing, re-shimming and refitting beats swapping in a hollow builder slab. On the exterior side, spring dust storms reveal every failed sweep and threshold as a fine brown line inside the door. We close those gaps for good.
What shapes the price in San Angelo
Door pricing in San Angelo depends on what is actually wrong. A hinge-and-strike adjustment is quick work; planing a swollen slab, rebuilding a rotted jamb bottom or hanging a new pre-hung unit takes longer and adds material. Solid mid-century wood doors are worth more labor than hollow-core replacements, and exterior doors carry more parts with weatherstripping, sweeps and thresholds in the mix. Tell us the symptoms and send a photo of the gap lines, and we can usually quote it firm before the visit.
Neighbors often ask
Why did my door suddenly start sticking?
Usually the frame has moved a little with the soil, or heat and humidity have swelled the slab. We find where it's binding and correct it, whether that means adjusting hinges or planing an edge.
Can you fix a drafty exterior door?
Yes. New weatherstripping and a properly set threshold seal the gaps, keep the dust out, and take a load off your AC in the summer.
Dust keeps getting in around my doors, can that be stopped?
Mostly, yes. Wind-driven dust finds worn sweeps, shrunken weatherstripping and daylight at the threshold. We reseal all three and adjust the door so it compresses the seal evenly all the way around. You will notice the difference after the next windy day, both on the floors and in the air.
My double doors will not line up anymore, is that fixable?
Usually. French and double doors show frame movement first because both slabs have to meet in the middle. We adjust the hinges, reset the astragal and flush bolts, and re-square what the soil shifted so they close with one easy motion again. It is a common Concho Valley call.
