Doors That Open and Close Right

Door installation and repair services in Austin for interior and exterior doors.

You pull your front door shut in Austin and it drags across the threshold, or you try closing a bedroom door and it will not latch without forcing the handle. These problems show up when hinges sag, frames shift, or hardware loosens over time, and they worsen until someone with the right tools and know-how steps in to correct them.

New Life Home Services handles door repair and replacement for homes throughout Austin, working from a base in Elgin. Services include aligning doors that stick or scrape, installing new hardware, adjusting trim for a tight fit, and replacing doors that no longer function or look the way they should. Every door receives precise measurements and careful installation so it operates smoothly and fits the frame without gaps or rubbing.

If a door in your Austin home is not working the way it should, contact New Life Home Services to schedule a repair or replacement.

What Happens During a Door Service Call

When you book door work with New Life Home Services in Austin, Jon arrives with the tools needed to adjust hinges, plane edges, reset frames, or install replacement doors depending on what the situation requires. He measures the existing opening, checks for level and plumb, and makes the corrections or replacements needed to restore smooth operation.

After the work is finished, you will notice that doors swing evenly without dragging, latches engage cleanly, and trim sits flush against the wall. Hardware mounts securely, and gaps around the frame stay consistent from top to bottom.

The service covers both interior and exterior doors and includes alignment corrections, hardware installation, trim adjustments, and full door replacements. It does not include frame reconstruction for severely damaged openings or custom millwork, but it does address the majority of functional and cosmetic door issues homeowners face.

Homeowners often ask about timing, hardware options, and whether a door can be repaired or needs full replacement before committing to the work.

What You Might Be Wondering About Door Work

How do I know if my door needs repair or replacement?
If the door is structurally sound but sticking, sagging, or misaligned, it can usually be repaired. If the door is warped, cracked, or damaged beyond adjustment, replacement makes more sense.
What does door installation include?
Installation includes removing the old door if needed, fitting the new door into the frame, shimming for level and plumb, securing hinges, installing hardware, and adjusting trim. You will receive a door that operates smoothly and looks finished.
How long does door repair or installation take?
Repairs typically take one to two hours per door depending on the issue. Full replacements take longer, usually two to four hours per door including trim and hardware installation.

Can you install hardware I already purchased?
