Door Repair
Downtown Doors & Security repairs residential and commercial doors across Brooklyn and Manhattan — fixing misaligned or sticking doors, damaged frames and jambs, failing hinges and closers, and worn hardware. Most repairs are diagnosed on-site and completed the same visit whenever parts are on hand.
Door repair covers everything that keeps a door from opening, closing, sealing, or locking the way it should: sagging or dragging doors, racked frames, split jambs, loose or bent hinges, misaligned strike plates, and closers that slam or no longer pull the door shut.
For homes that usually means an entry, apartment, or interior door. For businesses it often means a high-traffic storefront, office, or fire-rated door that has to open and close hundreds of times a day. We repair both, matching the fix to how the door is used.
When you need it
- The door drags on the floor or won't latch without lifting or slamming it
- There's a visible gap letting in drafts, water, or light around the frame
- Hinges are loose, squealing, or pulling out of the frame
- The closer slams the door, leaks oil, or no longer closes it fully
- The lock or latch sticks, or the deadbolt no longer lines up with the strike
- The frame or jamb is cracked, split, or damaged after a break-in or impact
How it works
- 1
On-site diagnosis
We assess the door, frame, hinges, and hardware to find the actual cause — often it's the frame or hinges, not the door itself.
- 2
Clear scope & options
You get a plain-language explanation of what's wrong and whether a repair or a replacement is the smarter call, with pricing before work starts.
- 3
Repair on the spot
Common repairs — realignment, hinge and closer replacement, strike and weatherstrip adjustment — are completed the same visit when parts are on hand.
- 4
Test & verify
We cycle the door, confirm it latches and locks cleanly, and make sure it seals properly before we leave.
How pricing works
Every door repair job is priced after a free on-site assessment — no guesswork and no surprises. We diagnose the real issue, explain your options in plain language, and give you clear pricing before any work begins.
Frequently asked
Can you repair my door the same day?
Most common door repairs across Brooklyn and Manhattan are completed on the first visit when the needed parts are on hand. For specialty hardware or custom doors we confirm parts first, then schedule promptly.
Should I repair or replace my door?
If the door slab is sound and the problem is alignment, hinges, a closer, or hardware, a repair is usually the better value. If the slab is warped, rotted, or structurally damaged, replacement is often more cost-effective long term. We give you an honest recommendation on-site.
Do you repair commercial and storefront doors?
Yes. We repair residential doors as well as high-traffic commercial, office, storefront, and fire-rated doors. See our commercial storefront door page for details.
