Door Tune-Up
Could your door use a tune-up?
A Door Tune-Up is our base service for doors with minor issues like rubbing, loose handles, drafts, or locks that don’t feel secure.
Typical Pricing: Service starts at $495, which includes up to 2 hours on site. Optional add-ons can extend the visit up to 4 hours if needed.
What is a Door Tune-Up?
A Door Tune-Up improves how an existing door operates by adjusting what’s already there. We look at the door as a system alignment, hinges, latch, strike, and hardware and make careful, in-place adjustments to help the door close, latch, and lock more reliably.
This service is intentionally limited so it stays efficient, predictable, and low-stress.
What’s Included
Evaluation of door alignment, hinges, latch, strike, and hardware
In-place adjustments to improve swing, fit, and operation

When a Door Tune-Up Is the Right Choice?
This service is a great fit if:
Your door rubs or sticks
Handles feel loose
The door doesn’t always latch or lock securely
You want to improve function before upgrading hardware
It may not be the right service if the door or frame is damaged or requires repair work beyond adjustment. If that’s the case, we’ll explain why and recommend a better-suited option.
Timing
Most Door Tune-Ups are completed in 2 hours on site, depending on door type and add-ons.
Our Approach
A Door Tune-Up is about clarity and trust. We make the improvements that are possible, explain the limits of the door as it exists today, and give you clear options, so you can decide what comes next without pressure.
