Sticking or sagging door
Humidity swells the slab, or hinges pull from the jamb. We plane, shim, and reset so it clears and latches — see [adjust sticking or sagging door](#price-door-adjust) pricing.

Door repair and hardware jobs we take in Oklahoma City
Interior doorknob replacement
Worn knobs and latches on an existing bore. Customer-supplied hardware is fine when the bore matches.
Deadbolt installation
Add or replace a deadbolt on an existing exterior door when the jamb can take it. Bored openings that need a locksmith for a seized cylinder are a different job.
Smart-lock installation
Install a customer-supplied smart lock on an existing door when the bore and strike line up. Wiring new low-voltage runs through the jamb is outside this visit.
Interior-door replacement
Hang a new slab or common prehung unit in an existing opening. Custom millwork is not what we do.
Exterior-door replacement
Replace an exterior door in an existing opening when the frame is sound enough to reuse. Full custom entry systems are a different trade.
Closet and bi-fold doors
Track, rollers, and alignment on closet and bi-fold doors when the opening is still square.
Weatherstripping and thresholds
Reseal an existing exterior door that leaks air or light at the edges. Threshold swaps when the unit can take them.
Adjust, replace the slab, or call another trade?
A door that sticks or misses the strike usually needs hinges, a plane, or a strike move. A cracked or delaminated slab wants replacement in the same opening. Seized lock cylinders with no key, garage doors, and storefront aluminum belong to other trades.
| Situation | What we do | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Door sticks or scrapes | Plane, shim hinges, and reset the strike when the jamb can hold it. | $99–$149 |
| Won’t latch or lock | Strike and latch alignment, or hardware replacement on the existing bore. | $75–$125 |
| Slab is cracked or too damaged to keep | Replace the interior or exterior door in the existing opening when the frame is sound. | $199–$349 |
| Seized lock, lost keys, garage door, or storefront aluminum | Stop. Locksmith, garage-door tech, or commercial door company. | Other trade |
When to call a licensed pro
Call a locksmith when the cylinder is seized and the key is lost. Call a garage-door company for overhead doors and openers. Call a commercial door shop for storefront aluminum or fire-rated frames we can’t source. We stay on residential doors and hardware.
Why doors stick after OKC humidity and soil shifts
Summer humidity swells wood slabs so they rub the jamb, and expansive clay soils can rack openings so a latch that lined up in winter misses in August. We adjust or replace the door in the existing frame and say when the jamb itself has moved past a simple fix.

Photos of the hinge and strike before we schedule
Tell us stick, latch, or replace — and the city
Name interior or exterior, the city, and whether the door still opens.

We confirm door scope or point you to another trade
Seized locks, garage doors, or a frame that won’t take a repair — we say so before scheduling.
Sticking door and latch questions before you book
Can you fix a door that sticks?
Usually. We look at hinges, the strike, and whether the slab needs a plane. If the frame is racked, we’ll say so before we start.
Do you install new interior doors?
Yes — slabs and common prehung units. Custom millwork is not what we do.
Can I send door and latch photos first?
Send the hinge side and the strike. That decides most estimates before anyone drives.
Do you work on exterior doors?
Weatherstrip, thresholds, hardware, and replacements in an existing opening when the frame is sound. Soft or rotted jambs and frames are scoped on wood rot repair. A full custom entry system is a different trade.
Is door repair on rental punch lists?
Yes. Doors that don’t latch or close show up between tenants — see rental property maintenance.
Do you fix doors in offices or retail spaces?
Yes for residential-style doors and hardware within our published scope. Specialized commercial-door systems and access control stay with other vendors. Multi-trade business lists are on commercial handyman services.
How much does door repair cost?
See the adjustment, hardware, and replacement ranges on this page. Repair versus a new slab is the first fork.
Do you open locked doors when the key is lost?
No. That’s a locksmith. We install hardware when the door already opens and the bore is ready.
