Doors That Close Right Every Time

Interior and exterior door installation and repair services in Williamston, Michigan.

When your front door does not latch properly or your bedroom door drags across the floor in Williamston, the problem is usually in the frame, the hinges, or the way the door was originally hung. Gaps around exterior doors let in cold air and drive up your heating bill, while interior doors that stick or swing open on their own make your home feel unfinished. Larry's Done Right Repair handles door installation, frame repair, hinge adjustments, weatherstripping replacement, and hardware installation so your doors open smoothly and close securely.

Doors need to be level, plumb, and properly aligned to function the way they should. If the frame is out of square or the hinges are loose, you will notice gaps, sticking, or difficulty turning the knob. We install new interior and exterior doors, repair damaged frames, replace worn weatherstripping, install locks and hardware, and repair sliding doors that jump off their tracks. Proper alignment keeps drafts out, improves security, and makes every door in your home work the way it was designed to.

What Changes When the Work Is Done

We begin by checking how your door sits in the frame, looking at hinge placement, strike plate alignment, and whether the frame itself is level and secure. In Williamston, older homes often settle over time, which throws door frames out of square and causes sticking or gaps. We use shims, screws, and hand tools to adjust the frame and rehang the door so it swings freely and latches without forcing it.

After the repair or installation, you will notice that the door closes smoothly without rubbing against the frame or floor. Exterior doors will seal tightly against the weatherstripping, which reduces drafts and noise from outside. Locks will turn easily, and you will not have to lift or push the door to get it to latch. If we installed new weatherstripping, you will feel the difference in temperature near the door, especially during colder months.

We also replace worn or broken hardware, including handles, deadbolts, and hinges, and make sure everything is anchored securely. For sliding doors, we clean the tracks, replace rollers if needed, and adjust the height so the door glides without resistance. This service does not include structural framing changes or full door frame replacement due to rot, but we will let you know if those issues are present and need to be addressed separately.

Here Is What Most People Want to Know

Homeowners in Williamston often ask about door types, weatherstripping lifespan, and when repair makes more sense than replacement, so we have answered those questions below.

How do I know if my door needs repair or replacement?
If the door itself is warped, cracked, or rotting, replacement is usually the better option. If the problem is with the hinges, frame, or alignment, repair will solve the issue and save you money.
What causes an exterior door to stick in the summer?
Wood doors absorb moisture from humidity and swell, which makes them fit tighter in the frame. Planing down the edges or adjusting the hinges will stop the sticking without replacing the door.
How long does weatherstripping last?
Weatherstripping typically lasts three to five years, depending on use and exposure. If you see light coming through the edges of your door or feel drafts, it is time to replace it.
Why does my interior door swing open or closed on its own?
The door frame is likely out of level, which causes the door to move on its own due to gravity. We adjust the hinges or shim the frame to correct the angle and keep the door where you put it.
What is the difference between a pre-hung door and a slab door?
A pre-hung door comes with the frame, hinges, and hardware already attached, which makes installation faster and more precise. A slab door is just the door itself, and you reuse the existing frame and hardware.
