Our territory takes in Moulton and the communities around it in Lawrence County, so calls from the courthouse square, Court Street and out by the Lawrence County Courthouse all get the same response.
The mix of housing here matters for door work. Older Moulton homes have wood frames and hardware worth repairing rather than replacing, while newer construction tends to have vinyl and aluminum systems where the moving parts wear out long before anything else does.

North Alabama sits in the heart of Dixie Alley, and the March and November storm seasons drive rain sideways against doors that face west and south.
Interior doors move seasonally with the house, and the dry heated air of winter shrinks door slabs enough that latches that fit tightly in summer start rattling in January.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
Knowing that is the difference between a repair that holds through a Moulton summer and one that does not.
Local factors we account for in Moulton: winter freezes and storm wind — typical of the Tennessee Valley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our interior door repair process
- Look at the house, not one doorIf several doors have started sticking in the same season, the cause is usually humidity or movement rather than the doors.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes. Through the Valley we check for seasonal swelling before removing any material, because a door planed in August is a door with a gap in January.
- Try the reversible fix firstA door planed in a wet August is a door with a gap in January, so we exhaust adjustment before removing material.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround.
- Set the latch to close quietlyA door should latch with a light push and stay latched without rattling.
- Leave the set consistentDoors through a house should feel the same to use. We adjust the others while we are there rather than leaving one odd one.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Moulton: questions we get asked
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the house.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Moulton homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Moulton it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
Can a pocket door be fixed without tearing open the wall?
Very often, yes. Most pocket door repairs come down to the roller hangers, and on many systems the door can be removed and the hangers replaced through the opening without opening the wall.
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
Do you replace interior doors as well as repair them?
Yes. A new slab hung in the existing frame is a common job and much simpler than replacing the whole frame and casing.
