Age, wind and fire. Altadena's older homes, from the 1910s to the 1950s, have wood doors and frames that have settled for decades. Windstorms come down off the San Gabriels here first and tear at doors and hinges. And on the streets the Eaton fire reached, standing homes have doors that heat, smoke and wind left warped or unsealed.
In Altadena most doors on standing homes need a rehang, new seals, new hinges or a rebuilt frame. When a door is past saving, we install a new one that meets the wildfire standard, and we tell you which on the call.
Not to repair a door. Altadena is unincorporated Los Angeles County, and much of it is in the very high fire hazard zone, so a new exterior door may have to meet the wildfire standard: solid core or fire-rated, with tempered glass. A rebuild is a permitted project; we tell you on the call where we fit.
The January 2025 Eaton fire damaged or destroyed thousands of structures in and around Altadena. On the homes that stand, doors are often warped, unsealed or stained. A rebuilt home has to meet the wildfire standard, doors included.
First in line for the windstorms, and many of these streets were in the Eaton fire. We repair the doors on homes that came through, replace bent hinges and install new doors to the wildfire standard.
Larger lots and older homes with heavy doors and French doors. We rehang heavy doors, realign French doors and rebuild frames that settled.
Older homes with original wood doors. We plane and rehang them, rebuild the frames and fit hardware that suits the house.
We price the repair or the install on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled.
Shims, hinges, strikes, weatherstrip, jamb stock and the common locksets come along, so most repairs finish the day we arrive.
We measure first so you buy the right size and swing, then hang the door you bought, frame fixed first so it stays true.
The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every repair and install carries our one-year workmanship warranty.
Repairs need no permit. Altadena is unincorporated Los Angeles County, and much of it is mapped very high fire hazard, so a new exterior door may have to meet the wildfire standard: noncombustible, solid core, fire-rated or tested, with tempered glass. Rebuilding after the fire is a permitted project with the county.
California's residential code wants the door between the garage and the house to be solid wood or steel at least 1-3/8 inches thick, or rated for 20 minutes, and to close and latch on its own. Many older homes have a hollow-core door there or a closer that quit; we install the right door and the closer.
Most of Altadena has no association. A new front door on a historic home is worth matching to the house, and we can give you the size, style, finish and fire rating in writing.

Call 747-298-8227Call or text a photo and we price it right away; most repairs are on the schedule within days. Rehangs, frame repairs, new weatherstrip and lock swaps are one-visit jobs, because the parts come on the truck.
Yes. Doors on standing homes can be warped by the heat, unsealed by the wind or stained by smoke. We rehang and reseal what can be saved and install new exterior doors to the wildfire standard where they cannot.
It depends on what failed: a rehang and a new strike cost far less than a rebuilt frame or a new prehung door. Tell us what the door is doing, or text a photo, and we give you the price on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled. No surprises at the house.
The state wildfire standard asks for a door that is noncombustible, solid core with thick stiles and rails, fire-rated for 20 minutes or tested to the state standard, with tempered glass. We check the door before you buy it.
We install them. You pick and buy the door, from a home center or a door shop, and we install it: we measure first so you buy the right size and swing, fix the frame, then hang, seal, trim and fit the hardware. Prehung or slab, interior or exterior, French or patio.
Yes, that is most of our installs. Tell us the size and whether it is prehung or a slab, or text a photo of the label, and we price the install on the call. If the opening needs work first, we tell you before the door arrives.
Not to repair one. Much of Altadena is in the very high fire hazard zone, so a new exterior door may have to meet the wildfire standard. A rebuild is a permitted county project; we tell you on the call what applies and where we fit.
