Foley sits in Baldwin County, and our work here runs from Downtown Foley out past OWA Parks and Resort, with Daphne and Fairhope close enough that we are usually in the area anyway.
Foley 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.
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.
Humid months swell interior door slabs, and any door that was already close on clearance starts binding at the top corner, which is far and away the most common interior door complaint in this climate.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Foley summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Foley: storm wind and sustained humidity — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our interior door repair process
- 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.
- Tell sag from swelling from frame movementThey present identically and need completely different work, so this is worth getting right before anything is cut. Coastal jobs get stainless or coated fixings as standard, since anything else here is a return visit waiting to happen.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround.
- Set the latch to close quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- Work through the whole listInterior doors come in groups. It is far cheaper to do them in one visit than to call us back for each one.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Foley
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 Foley, the main variables are these:
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- hollow core versus solid core doors
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 Foley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Foley: questions we get asked
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 a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Foley 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.
Why do my hinges squeak so much?
Dry pins. It takes a minute per door to fix properly, and the right lubricant matters because oil-based products collect dust and end up making the noise come back worse.
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the house.
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.
How many doors can you do in one visit?
Most of a typical house. Interior door work is quick once we are on site, and doing them together is far better value than calling us back for each one.
