What's involved
What this repair actually is.
Doors take dents, sag on worn hinges, and go out of alignment after impacts. We repair the door skin with metalwork and refinishing, adjust or replace hinges and the latch/striker so it closes with one easy push, and check that the window and lock still operate correctly.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Dent or crease in a door panel
- Door needs a slam to close or won't latch
- Door drops or creaks when you open it
- Wind noise or water leaking in at the door edge
- Door rubbing the fender or the sill
If you delay
A door that doesn't latch fully can pop open while driving, and a sagging door wears its hinges and striker until alignment gets much harder to restore.
Maintenance tip
Lubricate hinges and check seals annually.
