At Home Team Pro, we recently handled a precarious case in Saint Louis. A customer was dealing with his door hinges, which had severely loosened due to improper installation and the ceaseless tightening required over time. This not only wore away at the wood, weakening the hinge locations, but also put the safety of his children at risk due to the door’s bulky, antique structure.
We immediately sprang into action and removed the door along with the hinges. Every hinge location was thoroughly cleaned, and the extra damage was repaired using wood putty. Moreover, the screw locations were drilled out to 3/8″. To reinforce the hinge mounting location, oak dowels were glued in place. After allowing enough time for it to dry, the door was finally reinstalled and shimmed to the proper spacing.
Upon testing, the customer expressed his satisfaction with the door’s newfound stability. We also installed a hydraulic closer on their antique screen door to avert slamming and ensure automatic closure. At Home Team Pro, we don’t just solve problems; we enhance living spaces. Get an estimate today!
