Weight, slope and fire. Bel Air homes have some of the heaviest doors in the city, hung on hillsides that settle, so frames rack and big doors sag. Irrigation rots frames at the threshold. And Bel Air has been a very high fire hazard zone since the 1961 fire burned 484 homes here, so the exterior doors you choose matter.
Estate doors in Bel Air are expensive to replace and usually worth repairing: the hinges, the pivots and the frame fail, not the slab. We rebuild and rehang; when a door is truly past saving, we install the one you choose to the wildfire rule.
Plan on a quick one. Bel Air is in the City of Los Angeles, which treats a same-size door change-out as an express permit, issued over the counter, and a new or larger opening as a plan-check job. Rehanging a door, rebuilding a frame and new hardware are ordinary repairs; we handle the permit when a new door needs one.
Bel Air has been in the very high fire hazard zone since 1999, after a history that includes the 1961 Bel Air fire. A new exterior door may have to meet the wildfire standard, so we check the door you are considering before you order it.
Estates with heavy double and pivot entry doors and service doors that open all day. We rehang heavy doors on hardware sized for them, realign double doors and keep the original finish.
Hillside homes that settle, racking frames until doors bind. We true the frame and rehang, and check the wildfire rule before you buy a new exterior door.
Shaded canyon lots where frames stay damp and rot at the threshold. We rebuild the frame, rehang the door and seal the bottom rail.
Tell us what the door does, or text a picture of it. You get a written price on that call, repair or install, and only then do we book the visit.
Shims, hinges rated for heavy doors, strikes, jamb stock, weatherstrip and the common locksets are on the truck when it comes up from Wilshire Boulevard, so a Bel Air repair rarely needs a second trip.
We measure the opening first, so the door you order fits it and swings the right direction. The frame is fixed first, and the new door is set plumb in it.
The old door, the old trim and the packaging leave with us. What stays behind is the one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, repair or install.
The City of Los Angeles lists a same-size, same-type residential door change-out as an express permit, and a new or larger opening goes through plan check. Rehangs, frame repairs and hardware are ordinary repairs. The hills have been a very high fire hazard zone since 1999, so an exterior door there may have to meet the wildfire standard, and we check before you buy.
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.
Bel Air has no historic overlay zone, but the Bel Air Association and the hillside rules shape changes to the outside. A repair that matches needs nothing; for a new front door we put the size, style and finish in writing.

Call 310-928-6211Most Bel Air door repairs are priced on the first call and go on the schedule within days. A rehang, a frame repair or a swapped lock is normally one visit, since the hinges, strikes, weatherstrip and jamb stock the job needs come up the hill on the truck.
Yes. Heavy doors sag when their hinges, pivots or screws were never sized for them. We fit hardware rated for the weight, true the frame and rehang the doors so they meet, seal and lock.
The price follows the failure. Rehanging a door or fitting a new strike plate is a small job; rebuilding a rotted frame or installing a new estate door is a bigger one. Describe the door or text a photo, and you have the price, written, on that call, before we book anything.
Bel Air is in the very high fire hazard zone, so a new exterior door may have to meet the state's wildfire standard: solid-core wood, a 20-minute rated door or an approved noncombustible door. We check before you buy.
We install the door; we do not sell it. You buy it from a door shop or a home center, and we measure the opening first so it is the right size and swing. For a Bel Air exterior door we also check the wildfire standard before you order. Then the frame is repaired and the door hung, sealed, trimmed and fitted with its hardware.
Yes. A prehung unit or a slab, either one. Text the size, or a picture of the label, and the install is priced on the call. In the City of Los Angeles a same-size door change-out is an express permit, and we handle that as part of the job.
For a new door, plan on an express permit: Bel Air is in the City of Los Angeles, which treats a same-size door change-out as an over-the-counter permit. Repairs, a rehang or new hardware need none. We handle the permit as part of the job and tell you on the call.
