Whether a door is sticking, sagging, or has stopped closing, we adjust the hardware and restore reliable function.

Fixing Worn or Failing Hinges and Pivots

We use durable, long-lasting parts to install and repair strong, secure doorways.

Hinges and pivots degrade over time from repeated use, exposure to humidity, or structural stress. These issues often lead to uneven gaps, sticking, or a door that no longer latches. We assess the condition of both the hinge and frame before making repairs using durable, long-lasting parts. For every job, we match hinge sizes and finishes to the door and frame, and secure them using deep-set screws or backing hardware when needed.

We frequently repair or replace:

  • Sagging or separated hinges pulling away from the jamb
  • Broken pivots on aluminum and glass storefront doors
  • Rusted or worn ball-bearing hinges on high-use doors
  • Doors dragging on the floor or striking the frame
  • Loose hardware caused by stripped screws or soft framing material

Hardware Options for Residential and Commercial Use

We install a wide range of hinge and pivot types depending on door weight, usage, and finish. For standard residential use, we stock traditional and decorative hinges. We use continuous hinges or pivot systems on commercial doors to support higher loads and frequent access.

Common options include:

  • Antique brass, polished brass, polished chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze finishes
  • Black, stainless steel, and aluminum hardware
  • Traditional square and 5/8″ radius hinge shapes

We help property owners match finishes to existing hardware or upgrade to more durable materials. Ball-bearing hinges are available for smoother movement, and commercial pivots support heavy doors where standard hinges fail.

FAQs About Door Hinge and Pivot Repair

What causes door hinges to wear out or sag?

Frequent use, humidity, and improper installation can cause hinges to loosen or sag over time. In Florida, moisture often leads to rust or swelling in wood frames, which puts extra pressure on the hinge screws and mounting plates.

Can I upgrade to ball bearing hinges for better performance?

Yes. Ball-bearing hinges are ideal for high-use doors and offer smoother operation. We can replace existing hinges with ball-bearing models to reduce friction, prevent squeaks, and extend the life of the door hardware.

Do pivot hinges support heavy commercial doors better than traditional hinges?

Pivot systems are built to support larger, heavier doors by distributing weight to the top and bottom frame points instead of relying solely on the side jamb. They’re ideal for aluminum and glass entry doors in commercial buildings.

How do I know which hinge size or type I need?

Hinge size depends on door thickness, weight, and use. We inspect the door and frame, then install the correct type—whether that’s 4″ standard hinges, 5″ heavy-duty hinges, or continuous hinges for commercial entries.

Can you match the hinge finish to my existing door hardware?

Yes. We carry hinge finishes, including antique brass, polished chrome, black, and oil-rubbed bronze. Whenever possible, we’ll match the new hardware to your existing knobs, levers, or closers.

What’s the difference between radius and square corner hinges?

Square corner hinges have sharp angles and are often used on older or commercial doors. Radius corner hinges (like 1/4” or 5/8”) are rounded and common on residential doors. We install or replace both types.

Do commercial doors need continuous hinges or pivots?

High-traffic commercial doors often perform better with continuous hinges or pivot systems. These options reduce long-term wear, align better, and prevent door sag over time.

Why does my door keep swinging open or shut on its own?

This usually happens when the door is out of plumb or the top hinge is loose. We check hinge alignment, tighten or replace the mounting screws, and adjust the frame to hold the door in a neutral position.

Can replacing my hinges fix uneven gaps around the door?

Yes. Uneven gaps often result from shifted hinges or worn screw holes. We reinstall or replace hinges and shims as needed to create an even, secure fit between the door and frame.
