Door Hanging, Repair & Replacement — Hobart

A door that doesn’t shut properly is one of those small things that quietly wrecks a house. It lets the heat out of the room in July. It pinches your fingers in the frame. The dog learns to nose it open at 2am. And every time you walk past it, some part of your brain files it under “deal with that eventually.” Deal directly with Corey for your quote. FairFix completes the agreed work, with attendance and timing confirmed before booking.

I’m a qualified Hobart carpenter — twenty years on the tools, Certificate III in Carpentry, fully insured. Hanging and adjusting doors properly is one of the most under-rated skills in the trade because “it kind of shuts” is where a lot of tradies stop and most homeowners don’t know a door isn’t supposed to be leant on to close.

What I fix and fit in Hobart homes:

• Sticking or dragging doors — assess the door, hinges and frame, then confirm whether adjustment, repair or replacement is needed.
• Dropped doors — hinges shimmed or replaced, frame checked for movement, latch alignment brought back to true.
• New internal doors — hung from scratch: mortised hinges, packed jamb, latch morticed clean, architraves finished so it looks like it’s always been there.
• External doors — front, back, garage-to-house. Draught-sealed, threshold set, weather-strip fitted properly so the wind doesn’t whistle through.
• Cavity sliders — realigned, re-tracked, rollers replaced, or full new installations.
• Bi-fold and French doors — squared up, catchers replaced, hinges sorted.
• Door hardware — new handles, deadlocks, privacy sets, hinges. Fitted flush, not just screwed to the surface.
• Draught-proofing and weather seals — check gaps, thresholds and suitable seals as part of the agreed door work.

Photos help us assess the problem. We’ll confirm any visit or measurements needed before pricing. The written scope identifies doors, hardware, finishes, allowances and exclusions.

If a door problem is actually a frame problem, or a floor problem, or a subsidence problem, I’ll tell you. Sometimes the door just needs replacing. Sometimes it’s hanging fine and the jamb has moved. You’ll get a straight answer either way.
