Door repairs & door installation across Melbourne's inner west and north-west
A door that won't close properly is one of the most common calls I get — usually because the house has shifted, new flooring went in, or hinges have worn over the years. Most door repairs take less than an hour: plane the leading edge, adjust the hinges, replace the strike plate, and the door swings true again.
What's Included
- Sticking door planing
- Hinge replacement and adjustment
- Lock and deadbolt installation
- Strike plate alignment
- Door closer fitting and adjustment
- Weather seal and threshold repair
How It Works
- 1
Diagnose the cause
I'll check whether it's the hinges, the frame or the door itself before quoting.
- 2
Fix it on the day
Most door repairs are done in one visit, with tools and parts on the van.
- 3
Test and tidy
Door swings cleanly, locks engage, and any shavings are vacuumed before I leave.

Doors trimmed for new carpet in Seddon
Seddon, Melbourne
Dave in Seddon had just had plush new carpet laid throughout his hallway — and suddenly every door was dragging across it. It's a common problem: the new carpet pile sits higher than the old flooring, so doors that swung fine the week before start catching and rubbing on the fresh carpet.
We took each door off, planed them down to clear the new carpet height, then re-hung and checked every one for a clean, even swing. The result: doors that glide over the carpet with clearance to spare, and not a mark on the new pile.
If you've got new flooring going in — or doors that already catch — it's a quick, tidy fix we do all the time across Seddon and the inner west.
