Door and cabinet repair in Long Island City
Doors that stick, rub or won't latch. Cabinet doors that sag or won't close. Loose hinges and handles.
Most door problems in Long Island City, Queens homes are hinge problems: a loose screw, a stripped hole, a hinge that's sagged a fraction of an inch. We tighten and shim hinges, plane where a door rubs, line the latch back up with the strike plate so it catches, and adjust or replace cabinet hinges so the fronts line up and close.
What’s included
- Sticking, rubbing and sagging interior doors
- Doors that won't latch or swing shut
- Hinges tightened, shimmed or replaced
- Cabinet doors realigned; soft-close hinges fitted
- Loose handles, pulls and drawer slides
- Closet doors and bifold tracks
Why doors stick
Humidity swells wood in summer, hinges loosen with use, and older buildings settle. Each one shows up as a door that rubs at the top corner or won't catch. Each one is an adjustment, not a new door.
Cabinets
Most modern cabinet hinges adjust in three directions, so crooked or gapped doors can usually be squared up without new parts. Broken hinges and worn drawer slides get replaced to match.

Straight answers
Why won't my door close properly?
Usually a hinge has loosened or sagged, the door has swelled with humidity, or the latch no longer lines up with the strike plate. Each one is an adjustment, not a new door.
Can a sagging door be fixed without replacing it?
Usually. Longer screws into the frame behind the hinge, a shim, or planing a high spot fixes most sagging doors.
Can you fix kitchen cabinet doors that won't line up?
Yes. Most modern cabinet hinges adjust in three directions, so crooked or gapped doors can usually be squared up; broken hinges get replaced.
