Frame Repairs for Interior and Exterior Doors

We can ensure that your interior and exterior doors are strong and secure so you can rest assured that you have the best hardware and service available.

Wooden and composite frames weaken over time due to moisture, high use, or improper installation. These issues often appear near hinges or strike plates, causing misalignment or security concerns. We assess the problem, remove damaged material, and rebuild or secure the affected section.

Our technicians strengthen the frame by replacing compromised wood, correcting gaps, and reinforcing load points with long screws and steel brackets. We install moisture-resistant filler for repairs near baseboards or thresholds and prep the surface for finishing. When a full replacement is needed, we fit a new frame to match the existing door height, jamb thickness, and wall structure.

New Frame Installation for Homes and Businesses

Our installation process begins by inspecting the rough opening and confirming that the wall studs are plumb and the head height is level. We then anchor the frame into place using heavy-duty screws and shims for precise spacing. Door slabs and hardware are mounted in the same visit to ensure proper swing, latch engagement, and long-term function.

We install:

  • Wood and composite frames for front entries, garage doors, and interior passageways
  • Steel and solid-core systems for retail units, offices, and multi-family buildings

We check clearances, apply pressure evenly across all sides, and align the door with the mounted hardware. Whether it’s one unit or multiple, we complete the project using correct fastener placement, caulking, and frame reinforcement where needed.

Security Reinforcement and Post-Damage Restoration

After an attempted break-in, frames often split, twist, or shift out of alignment. We rebuild those sections using sealed wood or composite filler and install deeper strike plates and hinge supports. This reinforcement is common for back entrances, garage-to-home doors, or tenant units with repeated use.

Each repair includes updated hardware, deep-set screws into wall studs, and realignment of the door slab to ensure smooth operation. We complete these adjustments in one visit and test the final assembly for proper closure and latch hold.

What to Expect During Service

We prepare each site by checking the opening for square and level alignment. We use shims and screws to attach the frame tightly to studs, then mount the door, strike plate, and hinges. After testing the swing and hardware engagement, we leave the opening ready for painting or finishing.

Our mobile vans carry the hardware, trim tools, fasteners, and replacement pieces needed for both repairs and installations. We finish each job with care and confirm that the door frame is solid, aligned, and secure for daily use.

FAQs About Door Frame Installation and Repair

How much does it cost to install a door frame?

The cost depends on the frame size, wall thickness, rough opening condition, and the type of hardware required. We inspect the opening and provide a detailed quote based on material needs, door handing, and installation scope.

Can you repair a door frame without replacing the full unit?

Yes. We fix damaged door frames by removing rotted or split wood, reattaching hinges with deep-set screws, and bracing weak points using steel plates or fasteners. We match replacement pieces to the existing trim and ensure the frame stays level and secure.

Do you install commercial door frames?

Yes. We install door frames in retail stores, offices, apartment buildings, and investment properties throughout the Orlando area. Our team mounts frames directly into studs, checks for plumb and square fit, and attaches hardware designed for daily commercial use.

How do you attach a door frame securely to the wall?

We fasten each frame using long screws driven into wall studs. We brace the hinge side with mounting plates and shim as needed to ensure the jamb sits flush and plumb against the drywall or block surface.

Can you fix rotted wood at the bottom of the frame?

Yes. We remove soft or swollen wood near the floor, replace it with solid material, and seal the surface to block future moisture. After structural repairs, we fill gaps, sand rough edges, and prepare the section for painting.

Do you install frames for both interior and exterior doors?

Yes. We install and repair door frames for front entries, interior passageways, garage doors, and service openings. Each frame is cut to fit the rough opening height and width, aligned correctly, and anchored with the appropriate fasteners.

How long does a door frame installation or repair take?

Most repair jobs take between one and two hours. Full-frame installation projects can take several hours depending on how many adjustments are needed to level the opening, attach hardware, and confirm a tight seal.

Do you provide the mounting hardware and fasteners?

Yes. We supply screws, shims, strike plates, anchors, and other required hardware for frame installation and repair. Our mobile vans carry tools like drills, hammers, putty knives, and screwdrivers to complete each project on-site.
