About Sanford: Sanford is the Seminole County seat, northeast of Orlando on the south shore of Lake Monroe at the head of navigation on the St. Johns River. Brick-lined First Street, the lakefront Riverwalk and four local historic districts sit alongside newer homes and apartments.
A Sanford front door can open onto a porch, a stoop or a shared hallway. The city’s housing runs from detached houses to apartment-style buildings, so the doors people call about vary a lot. What they share is the weather. Humid months swell wood doors and frames, so a door that closed cleanly in a dry spell starts to drag, stick or stop latching, and sliders grind in their tracks.
Door repair starts with the parts that move. That means hinges and screws on a door that drags, the latch and strike plate on one that will not catch, a stiff lockset or deadbolt, sweeps and weatherstripping where daylight shows, and rollers and track on a slider that grinds or jumps. A worn lockset, handle or hinge gets replaced, and interior doors can be installed. Glass replacement, frame or opening changes and structural causes belong to other trades.
To book, phone (407) 638-8956 or request service online, with a short list ready. Open, close, latch and lock every door, slide the slider, and note any daylight at the edges, then list each problem door by room. Photos of the frame and the strike side help. A one-time visit can handle the list, and owners of homes that sit empty for stretches can ask about a monthly or quarterly plan. The post on door repairs homeowners eventually need covers the common fixes.

Yes. Adjusting sticking doors, replacing hardware and weatherstripping, repairing sliders and installing interior doors are routine handyman work. Structural exterior door replacement may involve permits, so check with your local building department.
Humidity swells wood doors and frames, hinge screws loosen, and frames shift slightly with the seasons. Many sticking doors only need hinge or strike plate adjustment.
Repair hardware problems such as rollers, latches and weatherstripping. Replace the door if the glass has failed, with fog between the panes, or the frame is bent.
A sticking door can often be adjusted at the hinges, latch or strike plate, and weatherstripping can help with gaps. If a door keeps binding because of settling or structural movement, the underlying cause belongs to another trade.
Slider work covers roller and track repair, along with lock alignment. Glass replacement, fogged panes and bending a damaged frame back are replacement questions, not repairs. Someone who sees the door can tell which applies.
Interior doors can be installed, and worn hinges, handles, locksets, sweeps and weatherstripping can be replaced. Changing the size of an opening or other structural work is outside the service. Permit questions go to your local building department or HOA. Have photos ready when you call (407) 638-8956.
