Door Frame Alignment in Dublin
If your door is sticking, rubbing, not closing properly or leaving uneven gaps, the issue may be with the frame, hinges or alignment — not the door itself. DoorFit provides accurate door frame alignment and adjustment across Dublin.
When Door Alignment Is the Real Problem
A door can look damaged or badly fitted, but often the real issue is small movement in the frame, loose hinges, poor latch position or uneven clearance around the door.
Over time, internal doors and frames can move due to house settling, humidity changes, previous poor installation or new flooring. This can cause the door to rub, stick, swing incorrectly, fail to latch or leave large uneven gaps. In many cases, careful adjustment can fix the issue without replacing the whole door.
Common Problems We Fix
Door frame alignment is useful when the door itself is still usable, but the movement, closing or gaps are wrong.
- Door not closing properly
- Door rubbing against the frame
- Door scraping the floor
- Uneven gaps around the door
- Latch not meeting the strike plate
- Loose or dropped hinges
- Door swinging open or closed
- Bad alignment after previous fitting
What’s Included in Door Frame Alignment
The exact fix depends on the door, frame and hardware condition. Andrew checks the full setup before adjusting anything.
Frame & Gap Check
The frame, gaps and door movement are checked to find where the alignment problem starts.
Hinge Correction
Hinges can be tightened, adjusted or repositioned where possible to improve door movement.
Latch & Strike Plate Adjustment
If the latch does not catch properly, the strike plate and door position can be corrected.
Door Trimming if Needed
If alignment alone is not enough, careful trimming may be recommended for proper clearance.
Repair Before Replacing
Many door problems do not require a new door. If the door is in good condition, alignment, hinge correction or latch adjustment may be enough. This can save money and avoid unnecessary replacement.
Final price depends on the condition of the door, frame, hinges, latch and whether trimming is required.
