A hinged door that squeaks, sags, or won’t lock properly is rarely a problem with the door itself — it’s almost always the hardware holding it in place.
Lock & Roll repairs hinged doors of every material — aluminium, timber, and glass or steel — as part of our full door repair service across Sydney. That covers locks, hinges, closers, flush bolts, and floor springs, whatever the door is made of, including single doors, French doors, and double doors with an inactive leaf secured by flush bolts.
Call 1800 203 377 or request a quote below to get your door swinging, closing, and locking properly again.
Signs You Need a Hinged Door Repair
Call us if you’re noticing any of the following:
- The door scrapes the floor or drags as it opens
- It won’t close flush with the frame, or it won’t latch
- The lock is stiff, misaligned, or won’t engage properly
- The door swings open on its own, or won’t stay open where you leave it
Most of these are hardware problems, not structural ones — which means the door itself usually doesn’t need replacing.
Hinged Doors We Repair, By Material
Aluminium Hinged Doors
Aluminium doors are low-maintenance, but the hinges and closer still wear with everyday use — that’s usually what’s behind a door that’s started to drag or swing too fast. We repair and replace both, along with locks and floor springs, where fitted.
Timber Hinged Doors
Timber doors move with the weather. Swelling and warping throw the door out of alignment with the frame, and hinge screws can work loose in softened timber — both show up as a door that sticks, won’t close, or has developed a gap that lets in draughts. We adjust the hinges and hardware and re-hang the door where needed.
Glass and Steel Hinged Doors
Glass and steel entry doors carry extra weight on their hinges and floor springs, and rely on patch fittings rather than a standard frame in many frameless configurations. We service and replace floor springs, patch fittings, and closers to keep these doors operating safely.
Common Hinged Door Hardware We Fix
- Locks and handles — misaligned, stiff, or no longer latching
- Hinges — worn, loose, or corroded, causing the door to drop or drag
- Flush bolts — the bolts that secure the inactive leaf of a French or double door
- Door closers — controlling how the door swings shut
- Transom closers — for doors with a fanlight or transom panel above
- Floor springs — for heavier glass and aluminium doors that pivot rather than hinge
How the repair process works
- Book. Call 1800 203 377 or request a quote online. Tell us your door type, the specific fault, and your property address. We’ll confirm a same-day or next-day appointment.
- Inspect. Our technician arrives at the agreed time, assesses the door and all its hardware, and gives you a fixed price before any work starts. No hidden costs. No surprises.
- Repair. Most aluminium hinged door faults are completed on the first visit. We carry hinge sets, closer units, flush bolt assemblies, lock bodies, and seal profiles for common aluminium door configurations on every van. Specialist parts for less common configurations are ordered and fitted on a return visit.
- Guaranteed. Every repair is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Related Hinged Door Services
Hinged doors show up across a few different pages on our site, each with its own focus, so you can go straight to the most relevant one:
- If it’s just the hinge itself that’s worn, loose, or squeaking, see our door hinge repair page.
- If you’re specifically after a residential front entry door — security, weatherproofing, first impressions — see our residential entrance doors page.
- If your door is a sliding door rather than a hinged door, see our aluminium sliding door repair or timber sliding door repair pages instead.
- If it’s a bi-fold door rather than a hinged single or double door, see our bi-fold door repair page.
Repair or replace?
Most aluminium hinged doors don’t need replacing. The frame is sound, the glass is intact, and the door leaf itself is undamaged. The failure is in the hardware, and hardware is designed to be replaced.
Repair makes sense when the fault is in one or two components, the frame is square, and the door leaf is in good structural condition. That covers the majority of calls we attend.
Replacement makes sense when the frame has corroded beyond re-mortising, the door leaf is warped or impact-damaged beyond cosmetic repair, or the hardware profile is so old that no matched parts exist. In these cases, we’ll tell you clearly and give you a replacement quote alongside the repair assessment. You won’t be pushed toward replacement if repair is the right call.
Who we work with
Homeowners: If your front door, back door, or internal aluminium hinged door is dragging, slamming, or refusing to latch, call us. Most residential hinge and closer jobs are done in under two hours. You get a fixed price before we start, and we clean up before we leave.
Strata managers and owners corporations: Aluminium hinged doors on common property — lobby entries, fire corridor doors, carpark access doors — carry the highest traffic of any door in a strata building. Through our strata door repair and maintenance service, we handle both reactive repairs and scheduled servicing across multi-unit buildings, coordinate with tenants, and provide full repair documentation for your records. We service lobby entries, fire corridor doors, carpark access doors, and bifold door repair across strata common property on both a reactive and scheduled basis.
Commercial property managers and tenants: A commercial entry door that won’t close properly is a liability after hours. We prioritise same-day response for commercial door faults and carry the closer units, flush bolts, and floor spring assemblies most commonly used in commercial aluminium door sets. Fixed-price quotes. No call-out fee surprises.
Cost guidance
Most aluminium hinged door repairs in Sydney fall in the following ranges:
Hinge replacement on a standard residential door: $180–$320 depending on hinge type, quantity, and whether re-mortising is required. Door closer repair or replacement: $220–$420 depending on closer type — overhead units, transom closers, and floor springs sit at different price points. Flush bolt replacement: $160–$280 per set. Lock body and cylinder replacement: $180–$350 depending on lock specification and whether rekeying to a master system is required. Weather seal replacement: $120–$240 depending on door perimeter length and seal profile.
All prices are fixed-quote before work begins. The inspection fee is a one-off charge. If we’re repairing on the same visit, it’s folded into the job cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair hinged doors in any material?
Yes. We repair aluminium, timber, and glass or steel hinged doors across Sydney, including locks, hinges, closers, and floor springs.
My door is sagging and scraping the floor — can this be fixed without replacing the door?
In most cases, yes. Sagging is usually caused by worn hinges or a frame that’s shifted slightly, both of which can typically be corrected without replacing the door itself.
What’s the difference between a hinged door repair and a hinge repair?
A hinge repair addresses the hinge hardware specifically. A hinged door repair covers the whole door system — locks, closers, alignment, and hardware — of which the hinge is one part. See our door hinge repair page if the hinge itself is the only issue.
Can I repair a hinged door myself?
Minor adjustments, like tightening a hinge screw, are usually fine to do yourself. But matching a replacement lock body, closer, or floor spring to your specific door is easy to get wrong, and a poor fit can affect both function and security. Most people find it’s worth having a technician handle hardware replacement.
How do I know if I need a lock replaced or just adjusted?
If the door doesn’t quite align with the frame, an adjustment is often enough. If the lock mechanism itself is worn or damaged, replacement is usually the more reliable long-term fix.
How much does a hinged door repair cost in Sydney?
It depends on what needs fixing — a hinge adjustment costs far less than a lock or floor spring replacement. A $176 (inc. GST) inspection fee covers an on-site assessment and a written quote, so you know the full cost before any work begins.
