Residential Door Repair Specialists

Alternative Line Solutions provides residential door repairs across Melbourne for front entrances, rear doors and internal doors. If a door sticks, drops on its hinges or needs lifting to latch, we check the frame clearance and hardware together. Our mobile service helps homeowners, tenants and property managers restore convenient access and reliable closing.

Repairs can include hinge replacement, adjustments to the door’s position and work on handles, locks or latches. We explain whether the existing door is suitable for repair before recommending replacement parts. For patio doors, explore our sliding door repairs; if your home cannot be secured, ask about emergency door repairs and current availability.

Why the problem happens

Common causes

Building movement

Movement in the building, frame, posts or surrounding ground can change clearances and stop the residential door lining up, closing or locking correctly.

Worn hinges

Hinges carry the moving weight of the system. Wear, loose fixings or bending can allow the panel or gate to drop and move out of alignment.

Moisture-swollen timber

Timber can absorb moisture and expand, reducing frame clearance and making the door rub or stop latching. We check fit and material condition before adjustment.

Loose hardware

We check for loose hardware when assessing the residential door. The condition of the supporting structure and connected hardware helps determine the repair.

Our approach

How we handle the repair

1

Realign the door

Clearances, fixings and operating positions are adjusted so the residential door can move and engage as intended.

2

Repair or replace hinges

Once the practical option is approved, suitable components are repaired or replaced and adjusted for the existing system.

3

Adjust locks and latches

Clearances, fixings and operating positions are adjusted so the residential door can move and engage as intended.

4

Test closing and security

We check the completed work under normal operating conditions, including the relevant movement, hardware or controls.

Repair or replace?

Should your residential door be repaired or replaced?

Repair may be practical when the main structure remains serviceable and the problem involves alignment, accessible hardware or replaceable operating components.
