The next morning, I looked on Angie's List for a recommendation for a company who repairs garage doors and called Doors, Inc.. I made an appointment for two days later as I was having some surgery the next day. On the designated appointment day, the man called us when he was on his way to our house, which I greatly appreciated. The man who showed up was very professional and nice to deal with. We were very afraid that we might need a whole new door and were afraid of incurring a large expense. The man thoroughly checked over the door and explained very quickly to my husband what the problem was. He showed my husband that there was a broken cable but assured him that he could fix it. He had the materials on his truck and did fix our door quickly. He also gave my husband suggestions on how to take care of our garage door to make it work better and last longer. He also worked neatly and didn't leave any mess behind. He charged us $100 which we felt was very fair. We were happy we were dealing with a company that didn't attempt to cheat or gouge us. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs their help as they were prompt and honest and do good work.

Door Repair questions, answered by experts
To remove the door plates (aka strike plates), use a screwdriver to remove the screws, then pull the plate away from the door jamb. Sometimes, the plate gets stuck. In this case, use a utility knife to gently cut around the plate. Carefully pull the plate back and forth to loosen it. Keep cutting around the plate and pulling until it’s free from the jamb.
Professionals use resin fillers, diamond polishing pads, and sealants to restore the surface.
Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.
The cost to repair a door can range from $50 to $700, depending on how complicated the repair is. Repairing a sagging door handle is definitely on the lower end of that scale. If you hire a pro to fix the handle, the bulk of your repair cost will go toward their labor, but you can also bundle this job with other small hardware-related tasks to get the most bang for your buck.
You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it’s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you’ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It’s doable, but expect some trial and error because it’s not a straight-swap situation.
