Doors should open, close, latch, and seal without a fight. We provide door repair services in Medford for homeowners who want the problem corrected cleanly, without replacing more than needed.
Medford homes see plenty of seasonal movement, daily use, and older framing details that can affect how a door fits. We repair interior doors, entry doors, sliding patio doors, frames, jambs, hinges, locks, and hardware with careful attention to fit and finish.
At Grether Fine Carpentry, we look at the whole opening before making a repair. That helps us fix the source of the issue, not just the symptom.
A sticking, dragging, or loose door can make daily use frustrating. We adjust the door, hardware, and frame so the swing feels smooth and the latch lines up correctly.
Small gaps, uneven reveals, and damaged trim can make a room feel unfinished. We repair doors with a finish carpenter’s eye, so the repair blends with the rest of your home.
Not every door needs to be replaced. When the slab, frame, or hardware can be repaired, we help you keep what is already working and correct what is not.
We adjust doors that rub, drag, or bind. This may include hinge work, light trimming, jamb adjustments, or correcting alignment where the door meets the frame.
A door that will not latch often has an alignment issue. We adjust the strike plate, hardware, or door position so the latch catches cleanly.
Loose, bent, or worn hinges can cause sagging and uneven gaps. We tighten, shim, replace, or reset hinges so the door sits better in the opening.
Damaged jambs can affect strength, security, and operation. We repair or adjust door frames so the door has a solid, accurate surface to close against.
We install and replace handles, locks, deadbolts, hinges, rollers, and other door hardware. Every piece is aligned and tested before we call the work complete.
Entry doors can develop gaps that let in air, dust, or moisture. We inspect the fit, threshold, sweep, and weatherstripping to improve the seal where possible.
Sliding doors need clean tracks, sound rollers, and aligned hardware. We inspect the track, rollers, latch, and frame to improve movement and closure.
Door repairs often affect casing or surrounding trim. We make clean finish adjustments so the repaired area looks intentional, not patched together.
Door repair is often about small details. We pay attention to reveals, jamb fit, hinge placement, hardware alignment, and trim transitions.
Grether Fine Carpentry is led by Derek Grether, with hands-on attention to the quality of the work. You get clear communication and careful follow-through.
We protect the work area, keep tools organized, and clean up before we leave. Door work should not leave the rest of your home feeling disrupted.
We do not push replacement when repair is the better fit. We inspect the door and opening, explain what we find, and recommend the practical path forward.
We work in Medford and surrounding Southern Oregon communities. We understand how older homes, seasonal shifts, and past repairs can affect door fit over time.
Send a photo or describe what the door is doing. Common problems include sticking, sagging, rubbing, loose hardware, drafts, or trouble latching.
We look at the door slab, jamb, hinges, hardware, frame, threshold, and surrounding trim. The goal is to find what is causing the problem.
Some doors need a simple adjustment. Others may need hardware replacement, jamb repair, trimming, or weatherstripping work. We explain the recommended repair before getting started.
We test-fit before fastening, align hardware, and make clean adjustments. If trim work is needed, we keep the finish as tight and clean as possible.
Before the job is complete, we check the swing, latch, gaps, and hardware operation. The door should feel right in daily use.
Yes. Sticking doors are often caused by hinge movement, seasonal swelling, frame shifts, or uneven contact with the jamb. We inspect the fit first, then adjust the door so it opens and closes more cleanly.
You may only need repair if the door slab, frame, and hardware are still in workable condition. Replacement may be a better option if the door is badly damaged, poorly sized, rotten, or no longer secure.
Yes. A front door that will not latch may need strike plate adjustment, hinge correction, hardware replacement, or jamb repair. We check the alignment and make the repair that solves the issue at the source.
Yes. We repair many sliding patio door issues, including rough movement, latch problems, worn hardware, and alignment concerns. Track or roller condition will affect what repairs are possible.
Yes. Older Medford homes often need custom fit work rather than a standard adjustment. We can modify jambs, reset hardware, and make careful trim repairs so the door works without forcing the opening.
