Door Repair questions, answered by experts

If you have an uneven door, the best way to level it or make it plumb is to use shims between the frame of the prehung door and the wall opening around it. Rough wall openings for doors usually leave substantial space for shimming so that you can make these adjustments. Start by shimming the hinge side of the door to center the prehung door, and then shim the lock side. Once it’s centered, hammer in the shims and continue checking that it’s plumb to get it to sit snugly in the wall opening and perfectly plumb and level.

Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

If the rot is everywhere, you’ll likely need a full door frame replacement. However, if the issue is localized, you can remove the rotten wood and focus on repairing the impacted area. Then fill the cavity with a wood filler or epoxy. For larger jobs, fill the cavity with a wood hardener. Next, sand it smooth and repaint or stain the entire area. You may have to apply the stain or paint to the entire frame to ensure the repair blends in.

The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.

It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.
