Flomaton has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.
Grit tracked through a house works into hinge knuckles and into the bottom tracks of bifold and sliding closet doors, which is why closet doors in sandy areas jump their guides.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Flomaton summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Flomaton: blowing sand and storm wind — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

- Look at the house, not one doorIf several doors have started sticking in the same season, the cause is usually humidity or movement rather than the doors.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- Adjust before cuttingPlaning a door is permanent. We correct hinges and strikes first, because most sticking doors do not need any material removed.
- Repair the hardware properlyStripped hinge holes get rebuilt rather than packed with matchsticks.
- Set the latch to close quietlyA door should latch with a light push and stay latched without rattling. On the coast we also check every fastener on the opening, because salt finds plated screws long before it touches the door itself.
- Work through the listIf you have five annoying doors, we would rather fix all five in one visit than come back five times.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Flomaton
We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a interior door repair job in Flomaton, the main variables are these:
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Flomaton.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Flomaton: questions we get asked
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Flomaton homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
My bathroom door locked with a child inside. Can that be prevented?
Yes. Privacy sets have an emergency release on the outside, and if it did not work the latch has failed and needs replacing. It is a cheap part and worth doing on every privacy door in the house.
Do you replace interior doors as well as repair them?
Yes. A new slab hung in the existing frame is a common job and much simpler than replacing the whole frame and casing.
Can you hang a barn door properly?
Yes, and the important part is the backing. Barn door track has to be fixed into solid framing, not into drywall with anchors, or the whole thing eventually pulls off the wall.
Why do my doors rattle when the HVAC runs?
Air pressure is moving the door in a latch-to-strike gap that has opened up. Adjusting the strike takes minutes and it is one of the most satisfying small fixes in a house.
