Door Repair questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to replace a patio door without replacing the frame if it matches the size of the new door. This can simplify the installation process and reduce costs. However, if the existing frame is in poor condition, doesn’t match the new door design, or isn’t fit for purpose, replacement is a more practical, long-term investment. 

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.

Look for signs of advancing wear and tear. Crumbling wood, rusted hardware, or increasingly misaligned doors indicate that you should begin considering a replacement. Although the replacement price might seem high, replacing the doors as soon as you notice these issues is best. Letting your existing doors continue to deteriorate can result in costly damage to your basement and belongings.

WD-40 can be used on squeaky door hinges, but it is generally considered a temporary, short-term solution rather than a long-term fix. While it can silence a squeak in a pinch by breaking down rust and grime, it is not a true lubricant, as it contains only a small amount of lubricating oil that evaporates quickly. Using WD-40 alone may lead to the squeak returning and can attract dirt and dust, potentially causing more wear on the hinge over time. For a more effective and lasting solution, it is recommended to first use WD-40 to clean the hinge, then wipe it clean. Afterward, apply a dedicated lubricant such as silicone spray, white lithium grease, a metal or plastic lubricant, or an oil-based product like petroleum jelly.

Yes, you can replace a door frame without replacing the door, provided the existing door is in good condition and the new frame is the correct size. To do this, you will need to remove the door and then rehang it after the new frame is installed. When purchasing materials, be sure to buy a door frame assembly kit rather than a prehung door, as a prehung unit includes a new door. However, if your current door has significant damage or wear, it may be a good opportunity to replace it at the same time, since you have to remove it anyway.
