Door repair & installation in Bondi
A door that won't close properly is the most common Bondi callout we get — usually because timber moves with the salt air and old terraces shift on their footings. We rehang, plane, replace hardware, or fit new doors entirely.
What's included
- ✓Realigning sagging or rubbing doors
- ✓Replacing hinges, strike plates, latches, and door closers
- ✓Planing or trimming doors that swell in summer humidity
- ✓Hanging new internal and external doors with weather seals
- ✓Cutting in deadlocks and lever sets
How we work
Our door repair & installation process
- 1
Assess the cause
We diagnose whether the issue is the door, the frame, the floor, or the hardware before quoting.
- 2
Fix in one visit where possible
Most jobs are an hour to half a day. We bring full kit so we don't bounce off-site for parts.
- 3
Test and adjust
We check seasonal swing — does it close cleanly in summer humidity, not just on the day we visit.
Local context
Bondi terraces and Art Deco apartments shift over the decades — the door that closed perfectly in 1995 doesn't anymore. We see this constantly along Hall Street, Wairoa Avenue, and the older blocks behind Campbell Parade. Almost always fixable without a new door.
Door Repair & Installation questions, answered
My door scrapes the floor — can it be fixed without a new door?
Almost always. We plane the bottom, adjust hinges, or fit a new threshold rather than replacing the whole door.Can you replace just the lock without replacing the whole handle set?
Yes. We carry common Lockwood, Whitco, and Gainsborough cylinders and can match most existing handle sets.Do you supply the door, or do I need to source one?
Either works. We'll quote supply-and-install with a stock or solid-core door, or fit a door you've already bought.
