Sticking door adjustment in Charlotte, NC
Service visits start at $149 — a starting point, not a final estimate
Doors go out of adjustment as houses settle and humidity swings — very common in Charlotte. Most cases are fixed by resetting hinge screws into solid framing and moving the strike plate a fraction of an inch, without planing anything.

What this typically includes
- Diagnosing whether the issue is hinges, strike alignment or the slab itself
- Re-securing hinges with longer screws into the framing
- Adjusting or relocating the strike plate so the latch catches cleanly
- Planing or easing the door edge only where it's genuinely necessary
What can affect the final price
- Number of doors being adjusted in one visit
- Whether the jamb itself has shifted and needs re-shimming
- Whether planing and touch-up paint on the cut edge are required
- Exterior doors with weather seals and thresholds
What photos to send
- The whole door or window including the frame, taken from a few steps back
- Close-up of the sticking, rubbing, or damaged edge
- Hinges, latch, strike plate, or lock hardware up close
- Any replacement hardware you've bought, with the model label visible
- Photograph the whole door in the frame, then close up on the rubbing spot and the latch/strike

Questions about this service
- Why does it only stick in summer?
- Humidity swells the door and frame. If it's seasonal we'd rather adjust the hinges and strike than plane material off that you'll miss in winter.
- Can you fix a door that won't stay closed?
- Yes — that's almost always a strike-plate alignment issue and it's one of the quickest fixes we do.
