DOORS & HARDWARE
Door adjustment and alignment
Restore a door’s clearance and latch engagement by locating the cause of rubbing or sagging. Hinge adjustment is separated from door warping, failed framing or movement that needs a broader repair.
START WITH THE DETAILS
What goes into
the work.
Measure slab and frame separately. Note swing from the exterior or approach side, threshold, wall depth and existing hardware.
Typical scope to confirm
- Check reveals, hinge attachment and latch position
- Adjust or repair agreed hinge/strike locations
- Confirm operation through the full swing
- Document remaining frame or door defects

PERMIT PLANNING
Usually cosmetic work
Usually a finish-only scope when the structure, room use and utilities stay unchanged. This is a starting classification, not an address-specific exemption; confirm any related regulated work before starting.
- Opening walls or changing structural support
- Moving or adding wiring, plumbing or ventilation
- Historic exterior restrictions or regulated-material removal
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Engineering is not usually needed
Engineering is not usually part of this finish-only scope. Stop for review if hidden damage, structural changes or unusual support loads are found.
- New structural work or damaged framing
- Unverified heavy-load support
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.

MATERIALS & DETAILS
Coordinate the details.
Adjustment usually retains the door finish. Any exposed hinge finish or paint touch-up is matched after the repair is defined.
