Door Repair Near Me in Metro Detroit
Sticking, drafty, or won't latch? We fix doors right the first time, with same-day service available across 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.

Door Repair — FAQs
Can you fix a door that won't close or latch, or do I need a new one?
Most doors that won't close or latch can be repaired, not replaced. The problem is usually alignment, such as a loose hinge, a shifted strike plate, or seasonal swelling, all of which we adjust in a single visit. We only recommend replacement when the door or frame is structurally damaged, and we'll tell you honestly which one you're facing.
How much does door repair cost?
Most door repairs fall into a modest flat-rate range, and simple fixes like hinge tightening or a strike-plate adjustment sit at the low end. Your exact price depends on the door type, the parts needed, and the extent of the damage. We give a free, no-obligation estimate up front, so you approve a flat rate before any work begins.
My door only sticks in certain seasons. Is that worth fixing?
Yes, seasonal sticking is worth fixing, because it usually signals loose hardware or a frame shifting with Michigan's freeze-thaw cycle. Left alone, a door that binds in spring can start dragging year-round and strain its hinges. We correct the alignment and hardware so it swings freely in every season, not just the mild ones.
Do you repair both home and commercial doors?
Yes, we repair residential and commercial doors across Metro Detroit, so one call covers both. That includes entry, interior, patio, and storm doors at home, plus steel, glass, and high-traffic doors for businesses. Commercial entrances often need heavier-duty hinges and closers, which we stock and install so your door keeps up with daily use.
