Door Repair Near Me in Metro Detroit

A door that sticks, drags, or won't latch isn't just annoying, it's a security gap and an energy drain, especially through a Michigan winter. If you've been searching door repair near me, BH Door Solutions gets to homes and businesses across Metro Detroit fast, often the same day. We find the real cause and fix it in one visit, so the problem doesn't come back next season.

Sticking or Dragging Doors

When a door suddenly rubs the frame or drags on the floor, the cause is almost always seasonal movement. Michigan's freeze-thaw cycle swells wood doors in humid months and shifts frames as the ground heaves and settles, so a door that fit fine in fall binds up by spring.

We find the true cause before we ever reach for a plane. Sometimes it's a loose hinge screw pulling the door out of square, sometimes the slab has swollen and needs a light trim and reseal, and sometimes the frame itself has moved. A quick door repair near me search often ends here, because we fix the source instead of shimming a symptom that returns in a month.

Door Alignment & Adjustment (Won't Close or Latch)

A door that won't close or latch almost always comes down to alignment. When the latch no longer lines up with the strike plate, the door pops open on its own, rattles in the wind, or needs a hard shove to catch.

Our door alignment & adjustment work resets the door square in its opening. We tighten or shim the hinges, reposition the strike plate, and even out the gap (the reveal) around all four edges. On exterior doors we also confirm the deadbolt throws cleanly, because a misaligned lock is a lock that fails right when you need it.

• Door pops open or won't stay shut
• Latch or deadbolt won't catch without lifting the door
• Uneven gaps around the frame
• Rattling or wind whistling through the edges

Hinge Repair & Replacement

Hinges carry the full weight of the door every time it swings, so they're often the first thing to fail. Stripped screw holes, bent knuckles, and worn pins lead to sagging, popping, and that grinding squeal that always gets louder in the cold.

Our hinge repair ranges from re-anchoring stripped screws with longer fasteners that bite into the framing stud, to swapping bent or corroded hinges for matching hardware. For heavy steel and high-traffic commercial doors, we install ball-bearing hinges built for constant use, so a busy entrance keeps swinging smoothly. When people look up door repair near me for a sagging front door, this is usually the fix.

Drafty Doors & Weatherstripping

If you can feel a cold draft or see daylight around a closed door, you're heating the outdoors. Worn weatherstripping, a gap under the slab, and a warped threshold let a Michigan winter pour straight into your entryway and push your energy bills up.

We reseal the opening with fresh weatherstripping, adjust or replace the door sweep and threshold, and correct the gaps or warping that break the seal. The result is a tight, quiet door that keeps the heat in and the drafts, water, and street noise out.

Damaged Panels & Storm Damage

Kicked-in panels, rot along the bottom rail, dents in a steel door, cracked glass inserts, and storm damage all weaken a door's security and its curb appeal. In many cases the whole door doesn't need replacing, only the damaged component does.

We handle these urgent repairs promptly, and same-day when the schedule allows during business hours. We repair or replace panels, rails, glass inserts, and hardware, and we'll tell you honestly when a repair makes sense versus when replacement is the smarter spend. Either way, you get a straight answer and an upfront flat-rate price before any work begins.

Which Doors We Repair

People rarely call us with a diagnosis. They call about a door: the one at the back of the house that swelled shut in July, the bedroom door that has dragged since the floors were redone, or the one out to the porch that lets a draft through every winter.

The distinction that changes the visit is inside versus outside. An outside door has to seal as well as swing, so work out there ends with a weather check, the sweep, the threshold, the reveal gap, and a deadbolt that throws cleanly into solid wood. An inside door only has to hang true and latch, which usually makes it a shorter visit.

The doors we are called out to most often:

• Front and entry doors that sag, stick against the jamb, or no longer seal
• Back and side doors that swell shut in summer or miss the strike plate
• Interior doors: bedroom, bathroom, and hallway doors that rub, drag, or will not stay shut
• Storm door closers, latches, and sweeps
• Commercial and storefront doors: closers, panic hardware, and heavy-use hinges

Door Frame Repair in Metro Detroit

Sometimes the door is fine and the frame is the real problem. Door frame repair is one of the jobs Metro Detroit homeowners call us for most, because Michigan weather is hard on jambs: water wicks up into the bottom of the frame and rots the wood, freeze-thaw movement opens the joints, and a single attempted break-in can split a jamb from the lock to the floor.

Watch for these signs that the frame, not the door, needs attention:

Our repair process starts with finding out how deep the damage goes. Surface splits are glued, clamped, and refastened into the framing. Rotted sections are cut out and rebuilt with new jamb stock, and kicked-in frames get reinforced strike plates with long screws that anchor into the stud behind the jamb. Before the repair, you have a frame that leaks air and can't hold a lock; after, the door closes flush against solid wood, latches cleanly, and seals tight. For a full breakdown of jamb rebuilds and security reinforcement, see our dedicated door frame & jamb repair service.

Working on a patio slider instead? Tracks, rollers, and sealed glass are their own specialty, covered on our sliding glass door repair page.

Is the garage the real headache? If the overhead door hums, grinds, or ignores the remote, the opener is usually to blame, and our garage door opener repair service covers every drive type across Metro Detroit.

• Cracked or split wood around the strike plate or hinges
• Soft, flaking, or discolored wood at the bottom of the jamb
• A gap opening up between the frame and the wall or brickmould
• Screws that keep pulling loose no matter how often you tighten them
• A door that still won't latch after alignment and hinge adjustments
