Why Choose The Door Doctor of South Florida, Inc. for Residential Door Repair?

Hurricane-Grade Door Assessment & Reinforcement

Living in South Florida means your doors face unique challenges from hurricane-force winds, salt air corrosion, and extreme humidity. Our technicians are specifically trained in Florida building codes and can assess whether your doors meet current hurricane standards, upgrade hardware to impact-resistant specifications, and reinforce frames to protect your family and property during severe weather events.

Same-Day Emergency Lockout & Security Restoration

When you're locked out or your door won't secure properly, waiting isn't an option in Fort Lauderdale's climate. We guarantee same-day service for emergency calls, arriving within 2 hours with a fully-stocked mobile workshop. Our technicians can restore full door functionality on-site, eliminating the security vulnerability and avoiding the need for multiple service visits.

Salt Air Corrosion Expertise & Marine-Grade Solutions

Fort Lauderdale's coastal environment destroys standard door hardware within months. We specialize in identifying salt air damage that other contractors miss and install marine-grade hinges, locks, and weatherstripping specifically engineered for coastal conditions. This prevents the constant re-rusting and mechanism failure that plague doors near the ocean.

Precision Door Alignment Using Laser Measurement Technology

Florida's shifting sand foundation and settling issues cause doors to warp and misalign, creating gaps that let in humidity, insects, and compromise energy efficiency. We use laser measurement tools to achieve precise alignment within 1/16th of an inch, ensuring proper seal, smooth operation, and optimal energy performance that reduces your cooling costs.

Comprehensive 2-Year Parts & Labor Warranty

Unlike handymen who offer no guarantees or manufacturers who only cover parts, we provide a full 2-year warranty covering both materials and our workmanship. If any component we install fails or any repair we complete needs adjustment, we return at no charge to make it right, giving you complete confidence in the investment.

Local Insurance Claim Documentation & Support

When hurricane damage affects your doors, insurance claims require specific documentation and compliance with local building codes. As Fort Lauderdale contractors familiar with major insurers in the area, we provide detailed damage assessments, code-compliant repair specifications, and direct communication with adjusters to expedite your claim and ensure full coverage of necessary repairs.

What Our Residential Door Repair Customers Say

Had my front door sticking really bad for months - could barely close it properly and was worried about security. Called The Door Doctor and they came out the next day. The technician (I think his name was Mike?) was super professional and explained that the frame had shifted slightly due to settling. He adjusted the hinges and did some minor sanding, took about an hour and a half. Door works like new now! Price was very reasonable too, way less than I expected. Would definitely use them again.

– Maria G., Fort Lauderdale

Good service overall. My sliding patio door track was completely shot - door was basically falling off the rails. They fixed it and replaced some weatherstripping that was pretty worn out. Took a bit longer than they initially said (about 3 hours instead of 2) but the guy was thorough and cleaned up after himself. Only complaint is they were about 20 minutes late, but they called ahead to let me know. Fair pricing and the door slides smooth as butter now.

– Robert T., Fort Lauderdale

OMG these guys saved my sanity! My bedroom door handle completely broke off Friday night and I was literally trapped in my room for like 20 minutes until I figured out how to get out. Called them Saturday morning kind of panicking and they actually had someone come out same day (for a small emergency fee which was totally worth it). Fixed the whole mechanism and even tightened up my other door handles while he was here. Super friendly service and didn't make me feel dumb for the situation lol. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Door Repair

How quickly can you repair my door, and do you offer emergency services in Fort Lauderdale?

We typically schedule non-emergency door repairs within 2-3 business days in the Fort Lauderdale area. For urgent situations like doors that won't lock properly or are completely off their hinges (especially important for security in South Florida), we offer same-day emergency service for an additional fee. Most standard repairs like adjusting hinges, replacing locks, or fixing door frames take 1-3 hours to complete. We understand that with Florida's weather and security concerns, a properly functioning door is essential, so we prioritize getting your repair done quickly.

What's included in your door repair estimate, and are there any hidden fees?

Our estimates include a detailed breakdown of labor, parts, and any additional materials needed. The initial consultation and estimate are free within a 15-mile radius of Fort Lauderdale. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees - what we quote is what you pay. Common repairs range from $150-$400 depending on the issue, with lock replacements typically running $200-$350 including hardware. If we discover additional problems during the repair (like rotted wood frame due to Florida humidity), we'll discuss options and costs with you before proceeding with any extra work.

Are you licensed and insured to work on doors in Broward County?

Yes, The Door Doctor of South Florida is fully licensed as a contractor in Florida (license verification available upon request) and carries comprehensive general liability insurance plus workers' compensation coverage. We're familiar with local Broward County building codes and permit requirements. For most door repairs and hardware replacements, permits aren't required, but if structural modifications are needed, we'll handle the permit process. Our insurance covers any potential damage to your property during the repair process, giving you complete peace of mind.

Can you repair doors damaged by Florida's humidity and weather, and how do you prevent future issues?

Absolutely - we specialize in weather-related door problems common in South Florida, including warped doors from humidity, swollen frames, corroded hinges from salt air, and weather stripping deterioration. We use marine-grade hardware and moisture-resistant materials specifically chosen for Florida's climate. Our repairs often include upgrading to stainless steel hinges, applying protective sealants, and installing proper weather stripping. We'll also provide maintenance tips to help prevent future humidity damage, such as proper ventilation recommendations and seasonal adjustment schedules.

Do you guarantee your door repair work, and what happens if the problem returns?

We stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty - 1 year on labor and we honor manufacturer warranties on all parts and hardware. If the same issue recurs within the warranty period, we'll return to fix it at no additional charge. This covers everything from lock mechanisms to hinge adjustments. However, normal wear and tear or damage from severe weather events (like hurricanes) aren't covered. We also provide a 30-day satisfaction guarantee - if you're not completely happy with the repair, we'll work with you to make it right or discuss alternative solutions.
