Door Repair

Door Repairs and Adjustments in Dubai

Doors that stick in summer, drag on the floor, refuse to latch or grind on their tracks are among the most common handyman calls in Dubai. Most can be fixed without replacement by adjusting hinges, planing edges, realigning strikes and replacing worn rollers.

Adjusting Doors for Dubai Conditions

Humidity swings between summer and winter make timber doors grow and shrink. A door that fits perfectly in January may stick in August. We plane only as much as needed and seal the bare edge so it does not absorb moisture again.

Sliding doors suffer from sand. The bottom track collects grit, the rollers wear flat and the door drops until it scrapes. New rollers set at the right height bring back a smooth, quiet slide and let the lock engage properly.

For new handles or closers, see door hardware installation. For locks, see lock repair and replacement. Garage doors are covered under garage door repairs.
