Door Repairs & Adjustments
Handis door repairs and adjustments is a one-visit, one-handyman service covering seven door-related trades — interior planing, hardware and lockset swaps, sliding and closet door tracks, screen and storm doors, door-perimeter weatherstripping, pet doors, and door stops — from $150 for a single interior planing to $900 for a wall-cut insulated pet door. The bedroom door that drags a quarter-inch arc into the carpet, the front door that takes a shoulder to latch in January, the bypass closet door off the track since spring, the screen door slamming shut on its own because the closer is shot. Doors are the most-used moving parts in a house and the most-ignored. We send one vetted handyman who carries planes, hinge shims, lockset templates, track kits, screen spline, weatherstripping rolls, and pet-door frames on the same truck — and works the whole door list in one visit.

Door Repairs & Adjustments Pricing
Final pricing depends on door type, hardware on hand, and how many doors fit into a single visit. Each service page lists detailed variant pricing. Multi-door visits are cheaper per door than booking each separately. Request a free estimate for an accurate quote.

Why Homeowners Book Handis for Door Repairs
Most door calls trace back to the same wrong assumption — the door itself is the problem. It rarely is. A door that drags is more often a stripped hinge screw, a sagged frame, or a strike plate that drifted with the season. A door that will not latch is almost never warped — it is a 1/16-inch misalignment between the latch and the mortise. After several thousand door visits across Seattle wood, fiberglass, and steel exterior doors, hollow-core interiors, and every closet system Stanley and Johnson ever sold, the diagnosis comes first and the plane comes last.

What Our Customers Say
Recent door-repair and adjustment reviews from verified customers.
New hardwood floor, four doors that suddenly would not close. The tech checked the hinges first — two of them had stripped screws and that alone was a quarter inch of drop. Fixed the screws with toothpicks-and-glue plugs, then a longer screw into fresh wood. Three doors closed without any planing at all. The fourth got a 1/8-inch shave off the bottom. Saved me a door I would have ruined.
Whole-home lockset and deadbolt swap — eight interior knobs to levers, three exterior deadbolts to smart locks, one front-door handleset upgrade. The tech mortised every strike, re-fit two doorframes where the previous installer had hacked the mortise, and walked me through pairing the smart locks to my phone before he left. Each lockset throws under its own weight. House feels new.
Two bifold closet doors in the master and one bypass door in the hall. Kids had pulled all three off the track and one bifold pivot was cracked. Tech had the right Stanley rollers and the right Johnson pivot on the truck — about 45 minutes for all three doors. He also showed me how to seat them back on the track if it happens again.
Sliding patio screen had a tear that ran the whole height and the rollers were shot. Tech pulled the panel, re-meshed with fiberglass and a new spline, swapped both bottom rollers for tandem ones rated for the panel weight, and lubricated the bottom track. Glides like new. He also caught that the door sweep on the slider itself had hardened and replaced that on the same visit.
Through-wall pet door for a 75-pound lab. The tech framed the opening with a header, flashed the exterior with peel-and-stick membrane, installed an Endura Flap large with the insulated tunnel, and trimmed the inside in matching baseboard. Dog walked through it the same afternoon. No drafts in January, six months later.
