What to check before pocket door repair — from dispatch to invoice

Door repair, frame reinforcement, mortise cutting, closer replacement, hinge work, weatherstrip fitting, aluminum storefront pivots, wood frame patching, deadbolt hole re-boring and strike-plate alignment across Toronto and the GTA. The door is often the problem, not the lock — a locksmith who only sells cylinders will tell you to buy a new door. We fix the door.

pocket door repair depends on the hardware, its condition and the problem you describe. Every job is booked with a firm ETA on the phone, an explanation of the work before it starts, and closes with a warranty on labour and parts — no exceptions.

When to call for pocket door repair

• Door won't latch — the strike is off by a couple of millimetres and needs a chisel adjustment.
• Deadbolt hole rattles and the throw doesn't seat — hole worn, needs a new strike, a wrap plate or a reinforcer.
• Storefront pivot door has dropped — top pivot re-shimmed, closer holds again.
• Wood jamb splintered from an attempted kick-in — steel wrap, longer screws into the stud, new strike, painted-in.
• Closer slamming the door or leaving it open — spring tension, valves and arm all re-adjusted, or a replacement unit swapped in.

Pocket Door Repair: repair or replacement?

A door that will not latch can have a hinge, pivot, strike or frame problem. Replacing the cylinder alone may leave it unchanged. Start with alignment and the condition of the opening; replace parts only after identifying the fault.
