Wood door repair — why these doors are worth saving
Solid wood doors move. That is not a fault, it is the material: wood takes on moisture in a humid Toronto August and gives it back in a dry February, and a slab that fits perfectly in winter can bind badly in summer. Most people meet this as a door that only sticks half the year, and it is one of the most misdiagnosed problems we see.
It also matters that a solid wood or heritage door is often irreplaceable. A century entrance in Cabbagetown, a limestone-building door in downtown Guelph, an original panelled door in a Hamilton brick house — those cannot be matched off a shelf, and a modern replacement changes the whole front of the building. Almost all of them can be repaired.
What wood door repair covers
Solid & heritage doors
Century and custom wood entrances repaired, re-hung and resealed rather than replaced with something that does not suit the building.
Rot & water damage
Rotted bottoms, sides and sills cut back, spliced with matched material, sealed and refinished.
Sticking & seasonal movement
Slabs eased where they genuinely catch and edges sealed so the wood stops cycling.
Panels, rails & stiles
Splits and cracks repaired and stabilised, loose joints re-glued and clamped.
Mortise locks & period hardware
Old mortise bodies serviced or replaced with original handles and escutcheons retained.
Refinishing & sealing
Preparation and sealing of edges and bases — the step that decides whether the repair lasts.
The wood door faults we repair most
The door binds in summer and is fine in winter
Seasonal moisture movement. We ease the slab where it actually catches and reseal the edges so the wood stops absorbing, which stops the cycle rather than just shaving it once.
The bottom of the door has rotted
Water sitting at the sill. We cut out the rotted section, splice in matched material, seal it and refinish, rather than writing off an otherwise sound door.
A panel has cracked or split
Panels move independently of the rails and stiles. We repair and stabilise the split so it does not open again with the next humidity swing.
The old mortise lock will not throw
Common in heritage properties. We service or replace the mortise body and keep the original escutcheon, handle and keyhole plate wherever the door allows.
The door has dropped and drags on the floor
Heavy solid slabs pull hinge screws loose. We anchor into the framing with long screws and, where the jamb wood has gone, splice in solid material first.
Old finish is failing and letting water in
Bare or cracked finish is what starts rot. We prepare and reseal the edges and the base, which is the part that actually matters.

Break-ins, doors that will not lock and failed commercial entrances get priority dispatch 24 hours a day, seven days a week — nights, weekends and holidays included.
Wood Door Repair for businesses
On the commercial side, wood doors turn up in heritage storefronts, restaurants, law and accounting offices, and older institutional buildings. Those doors are usually part of how the business presents itself, which is exactly why a generic replacement is the wrong answer.
Related work includes door frame repair, exterior door frame repair, pivot hinge replacement, residential door repair, lock change and rekey and front door replacement.
Seal the edges, not just the faces
Most people paint the two faces of a wood door and leave the top, bottom and hinge edges bare. Those bare edges are where the moisture goes in and out, which is what causes both the seasonal binding and the eventual rot. Sealing all six surfaces once is the single most effective thing you can do for a wood door.

Wood Door Repair — frequently asked questions
How fast can you get to me?
Most GTA calls are same-day and emergencies get priority dispatch 24/7. Call 647-951-3510 and we will give you a real arrival window.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free and the price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
My door only sticks in summer. Should I plane it?
Not before it is diagnosed. Plane it in August and it will rattle and leak all winter. The right fix is easing only where it truly catches and sealing the edges so the wood stops cycling.
Can a rotted wood door be saved?
Usually yes, if the rot is at the bottom and has not reached the lock rail. We cut back to sound wood, splice in matched material, seal and refinish.
Can you keep my original heritage hardware?
Wherever the door allows it, yes. We service the mortise body and retain the original handle, escutcheon and keyhole plate.
Do you carry the parts with you?
Yes. Our trucks stock rollers, closers, pivots, strikes, hinges, weatherstripping, cylinders and locks, which is why most jobs finish on the first visit.
Is the work warrantied?
Every job carries a warranty on labour and on the parts we supply, written on your invoice.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Cash, debit, e-transfer and all major credit cards. Businesses can be invoiced.
