Loxley is part of our regular Baldwin County territory, and between the US-90 corridor, the I-10 exit 44 area and the the Loxley farm stands area we are here most weeks.
Between the established parts of Loxley and the newer subdivisions, we see two different kinds of failure: worn-out frames on one side of town and worn-out hardware on the other.

Salt air is the single biggest factor on the coast. It attacks the steel inside roller bearings, hinge pins, latch mechanisms and closer springs, and it does it year round whether or not a storm ever comes.
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.
Grit tracked through a house works into hinge knuckles and into the bottom tracks of bifold and sliding closet doors, which is why closet doors in sandy areas jump their guides.
None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.
Local factors we account for in Loxley: sustained humidity and blowing sand — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

- Look at the house, not one doorIf several doors have started sticking in the same season, the cause is usually humidity or movement rather than the doors.
- Tell sag from swelling from frame movementThey present identically and need completely different work, so this is worth getting right before anything is cut.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.
- Repair the hardware properlyStripped hinge holes get rebuilt rather than packed with matchsticks.
- Set the latch to close quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- Work through the listIf you have five annoying doors, we would rather fix all five in one visit than come back five times.

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
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- 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 Loxley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Loxley: questions we get asked
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Loxley homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
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.
How many doors can you do in one visit?
Most of a typical house. Interior door work is quick once we are on site, and doing them together is far better value than calling us back for each one.
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.
My bathroom door locked with a child inside. Can that be prevented?
Yes. Privacy sets have an emergency release on the outside, and if it did not work the latch has failed and needs replacing. It is a cheap part and worth doing on every privacy door in the house.
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the house.
