A door that sticks, won't close right, or needs a full replacement
Doors that swing, latch, and seal the way they should — AR and Sons Handyman serves Silver Spring homeowners with reliable, professional service. Licensed and insured, with same-week scheduling available.
In Silver Spring's humid summers, wood doors swell against their frames and suddenly won't close without a shoulder. The fix is planing or sanding the binding edge and re-hanging — a half-day job that ends years of fighting the door. Waiting tends to stress the frame and the hinges.
Gaps around an exterior door let in drafts, moisture, and insects. Damaged weatherstripping or a door that has dropped in the frame — common in older Silver Spring homes — makes the whole house work harder to heat and cool. A proper re-hang and new weatherstripping fixes the underlying cause.
A pre-hung door sitting in a garage waiting for installation is a common situation. Getting the fit right — shimming the frame, getting the reveal even, setting the hinges so the door swings and latches without adjustment — takes experience that saves a lot of frustration on a DIY project.
Patio and closet sliding doors that jump the track or drag across the floor are a nuisance — and a safety issue if children are in the house. Worn rollers, a dirty track, or a frame that's shifted out of plumb are all fixable without replacing the door.
A deadbolt that requires force to throw, or a knob set that has play in it, is both a security and daily-use problem. Replacing hardware, adjusting the strike plate, or repairing the door frame so the bolt seats properly is the kind of repair that should happen before a lock fails completely.
