Door problems in Hayneville tend to sort into two groups: older homes where the frames and jambs have taken decades of weather, and newer builds where the hardware was the cheapest part of the package and has already given up.

Black Belt soil is the reason so many doors in this part of Alabama do not close right. That dark prairie clay swells dramatically when saturated and shrinks in a dry August, and a house sitting on it moves with it.
Humid months swell interior door slabs, and any door that was already close on clearance starts binding at the top corner, which is far and away the most common interior door complaint in this climate.
When a foundation moves, interior doors report it before anything else in the house does, and several doors sticking in the same part of a house at the same time is a pattern worth paying attention to.
It is why the same repair done properly in Hayneville lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Hayneville: sustained humidity and soil movement — typical of the Black Belt.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach interior door repair
- Look at the whole house, not one doorWhen several doors in a {city} home start sticking in the same season, the story is usually about the house rather than the doors.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes. On prairie clay we look at the whole opening for racking, because a door here is usually reporting a foundation movement rather than a hardware fault.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround.
- Set the latch to close quietlyA door should latch with a light push and stay latched without rattling.
- Work through the whole listInterior doors come in groups. It is far cheaper to do them in one visit than to call us back for each one.

What a interior door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Hayneville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Hayneville: questions we get asked
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Hayneville it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
Why do my doors rattle when the HVAC runs?
Air pressure is moving the door in a latch-to-strike gap that has opened up. Adjusting the strike takes minutes and it is one of the most satisfying small fixes in a house.
Can you hang a barn door properly?
Yes, and the important part is the backing. Barn door track has to be fixed into solid framing, not into drywall with anchors, or the whole thing eventually pulls off the wall.
Why do my hinges squeak so much?
Dry pins. It takes a minute per door to fix properly, and the right lubricant matters because oil-based products collect dust and end up making the noise come back worse.
Do you replace interior doors as well as repair them?
Yes. A new slab hung in the existing frame is a common job and much simpler than replacing the whole frame and casing.
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
