Residential Door Repair
Warm up your Aurora home’s seal — entry door adjustments, weatherstripping, and lock repairs for houses and townhomes old and new.
Aurora mixes charming older streets near the core with fast-growing subdivisions where everything still feels new — until a door starts rubbing. We help homeowners understand whether the issue is hinges, settlement, or hardware wearing out. You will know the repair path and cost before we drill or swap parts.
Quick answer: residential door repair in Aurora
Aurora Entry Specialists repairs front, side, and interior doors on Yonge corridor doubles and newer townhomes — sticky entries after renovation settlement and multipoint locks that miss the keep. We check the jamb, hinges, and strike before recommending parts or a new door. Call (647) 932-0552 or send photos of the latch edge and frame.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a front door?
Repair is usually the better first step when the slab and frame are sound and the issue is hinges, strike alignment, weatherstripping, or lock hardware — typical after GO-corridor freeze–thaw and wind off open fields. Replacement is honest when the door is warped, water-damaged, or the frame will not hold a fix. We quote repair first.
Front door repair vs interior door repair
Exterior doors in Aurora need weather seals, deadbolt or multipoint alignment, and security-grade hardware. Interior doors more often need hinge screws and latch plates after flooring or settlement. Both start the same way: how the door hangs, where it binds, and whether the latch meets the strike.
Repair vs replace — at a glance
We repair first when it is safe and lasting. Replacement is an honest option when the door or frame cannot hold a reliable fix — you stay in control after the inspection.
| Factor | Repair | Replace |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | Slab and frame sound; hinges, latch, weatherstrip, or lock failed | Warped, rotten, or water-damaged slab/frame; repeated security failures |
| Cost approach | Usually lower first step — parts and labour quoted after inspection | Higher upfront; longer lifespan when the opening is beyond repair |
| You decide | We show repair options and what they will / will not fix | Recommended only when repair will not hold — no pressure pitch |

Residential door repair in Aurora
Front door repair, entry door hardware, and storm door adjustments on real Aurora homes — each project assessed on site.
Modern double entry doors
Double entry systems with sidelights and transoms are common on newer Aurora builds and renovated homes along Yonge. We repair alignment, multipoint hardware, and frame issues when doors bind or no longer seal — without pushing a full replacement unless the opening truly needs it.
Front door & storm door repair
Many Aurora bungalows and two-storeys pair a storm door with the main entry. When the inner door sticks or the storm door will not close flush, we check both units and the frame together. Proper adjustment keeps drafts out and reduces wear on hinges and closers.
Black double doors with transom
Black double doors with decorative transoms show up on upgraded Aurora entries. We service hinges, closers where present, and lock alignment so both leaves meet evenly at the center. If you are planning hardware or seal work, photos of the full opening help us quote accurately.
