Handychief handles the door and window work most homes need: sticking doors planed and adjusted, locks and hardware replaced, weatherstripping and thresholds renewed, sliding doors rolling again, screens repaired, and interior, exterior, and storm doors installed. Text photos of the problem and a short description — we’ll quote it before we arrive.
Repair, adjustment, hardware, and installation — the handyman side of doors and windows.
Doors that stick, rub, or won’t latch usually come down to hinges, the strike plate, or a swollen edge. We find the cause and fix it — adjusting, planing, or resetting — instead of defaulting to a new door.
Slab and prehung interior doors hung square, trimmed out, and fitted with hardware. Pocket and barn doors adjusted or repaired where the hardware allows.
Entry doors and storm doors installed or replaced where the opening and frame are sound. Frame or sill rot gets assessed first — minor repairs run through our carpentry service.
Knobs, levers, deadbolts, and handlesets replaced or installed and aligned to latch smoothly. Rekeying to match existing keys is locksmith work — we’ll say so when that’s the better route. Smart locks fall under our smart home service.
Worn weatherstripping, door sweeps, and thresholds replaced to close the gaps and drafts around exterior doors.
Rollers, tracks, latches, and handles serviced or replaced so sliders glide and lock properly. Scope depends on the door model and parts availability.
Torn or missing screens re-screened or replaced, and screen doors repaired where the frame is worth saving.
Latches, locks, and cranks replaced where parts are available, plus exterior caulking and sealing around frames. Broken panes and fogged double-pane units are glass-company work — we’ll point you to the right trade.
Most door problems don’t need a new door. A hinge adjustment, a planed edge, a reset strike plate, or new rollers on a slider solves the majority of what we’re called for — in one visit, without ordering anything. When a door or piece of hardware really is past saving, we’ll say so and quote the replacement instead.
That goes for windows too: hardware, screens, and sealing are handyman work. We won’t sell you glass work we don’t do.
Handychief works at the door, hardware, and trim level: repairs, adjustments, hardware swaps, weatherstripping, screens, and door installation on sound openings. Some jobs belong to other trades, and we’ll tell you which before any work starts.
Broken panes, fogged or failed double-pane (insulated) glass, and full window replacement are work for a glass or window company. Rekeying locks to a single key is a locksmith’s job. Rot or structural damage beyond minor repair runs through carpentry — and if it’s bigger than that, we’ll help you figure out the next step.

Sticking and rubbing doors, hinges and strike plates, locks and deadbolts, weatherstripping and thresholds, sliding door rollers and tracks, window screens and hardware, storm doors, and interior and exterior door installation.
