Good to Know
> 🔩 **Long screws are your friend** - replacing one screw per hinge with a 3-inch screw that reaches the stud makes a huge difference. Standard hinge screws only go into the door lining, which is thin. **When it's more than adjustment:** - Hinges worn out (need replacing) - Door warped (may need planing) - Frame moved (bigger problem) - I'll advise honestly **Multiple doors:** - If one has drifted, others probably have too - Check them all in one visit - Saves repeat call-outs
Frequently Asked Questions about Door hinge adjustment in Dawlish
Why has my door started sticking?
Hinge screws work loose over time, especially on heavy or frequently used doors. The door drops slightly, causing it to catch on the frame or floor. Simple adjustment usually fixes it.
Can all doors be adjusted?
Most internal doors yes. The hinges allow for some adjustment through tightening, repositioning, or packing. If the door has warped or the frame has moved significantly, other solutions may be needed.
My door swings open/closed on its own - fixable?
Yes - this is usually about hinge position. A small adjustment to the hinge seating can stop doors drifting. It's a common fix.
How many doors can you adjust in one visit?
As many as need doing. Multiple doors are quick once I'm there. Tell me how many and I'll estimate time.
