If you are anywhere between Downtown Prichard and the St. Stephens Road corridor, or out toward the Prichard Stadium area, we cover it, along with the rest of Mobile County.
A lot of what we see in Mobile County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Why interior door repair fails in the Alabama Gulf Coast
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.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
It is why the same repair done properly in Prichard lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Prichard: sustained humidity and storm wind — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our interior door repair process
- 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.
- Tell sag from swelling from frame movementThey present identically and need completely different work, so this is worth getting right before anything is cut. Coastal jobs get stainless or coated fixings as standard, since anything else here is a return visit waiting to happen.
- 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 quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- Leave the set consistentDoors through a house should feel the same to use. We adjust the others while we are there rather than leaving one odd one.

Every interior door repair call in Mobile County is a little different, and the cost follows what the door actually needs:
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- 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 Prichard.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Prichard: questions we get asked
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.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Prichard 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.
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.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Prichard 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.
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.
Can a pocket door be fixed without tearing open the wall?
Very often, yes. Most pocket door repairs come down to the roller hangers, and on many systems the door can be removed and the hangers replaced through the opening without opening the wall.
