What to expect.
Louisville humidity swells doors in July and shrinks them in January, which is why the bathroom door sticks every summer and the front door rattles every winter. Most door problems are a 60-minute fix: a hinge screw into the stud, a strike plate moved a quarter inch, a planed edge, or a new sweep and weatherstrip.
Ken repairs interior and exterior doors, replaces hinges and strike plates, adjusts and replaces deadbolts and handle sets, fixes split jambs after a slam or a break-in, and rehangs closet and bifold doors that jumped the track. Pocket door hardware and barn door adjustments are on the list too.
Exterior doors get a draft check while he is there. New weatherstripping and a door sweep cost less than one month of the heating bill they save.

Questions homeowners ask before booking.
Why does my door stick in the summer?
Humidity. Wood doors take on moisture and grow a little. The fix is usually tightening the hinges into the stud, and if that is not enough, planing the rubbing edge and sealing it so it stops moving.
Can you fix a door frame after a break-in?
Yes. Split jambs are glued, screwed, and reinforced with a strike plate that goes into the framing. Ken can also install a reinforced strike box while he is there.
Do you replace locks and deadbolts?
Yes. Bring the set you want or Ken can supply a standard one. Smart locks that run on batteries are a normal install. Ones that need wiring go to an electrician.
How long does door repair take?
Most single-door problems are done in about an hour. Jamb repairs and exterior door work run 90 minutes to two hours.
