Door Repair Near Me repairs, installs and replaces doors across Scarborough — post-war bungalows through Birchcliff and Cliffside, the sprawling 1960s-80s subdivisions inland, the apartment and co-op blocks along Kingston Road, Lawrence and Markham Road, and the plazas that anchor almost every major intersection. Bonded, insured, police background-checked. Call (647) 955-5637.
What We See Most in Scarborough
- Post-war bungalows and side entrances. Scarborough has an unusual number of separate side and basement entries, often added later and rarely built as well as the front door. They are the most common source of both draft complaints and forced-entry damage — see break-in damage repair.
- Bluffs-area exposure. Properties along Birchcliff, Cliffside and the Bluffs take strong wind off the lake. Doors there lose their seal and their closers struggle to latch against pressure.
- 1960s-80s subdivision patio doors. Flattened rollers and packed tracks, the same story as much of the GTA — see sliding and patio door repair.
- Apartment and co-op buildings. A large share of our Scarborough work is corridor, stairwell and fire-rated doors that no longer close and latch on their own, plus closer repair in Scarborough.
- Plaza storefronts. Aluminum entrances dragging on worn pivots — see storefront door repair.

Side and Basement Entries: Scarborough’s Weak Point
If you own a Scarborough bungalow with a side or basement entrance, that door is very likely the least secure opening on the property — and it is where we do most of our security work in the area. These entries are often set into a lightly framed opening, with a strike plate held by two short screws into trim. A single kick splits the jamb and takes the strike with it while the deadbolt stays locked in a broken piece of wood. The fix is not a better lock: it is a box strike with 3-inch screws reaching the stud, long screws in the top hinge, and solid backing behind the strike area. It costs very little on a scheduled visit and a great deal after a break-in.
Frequently Asked Questions
My basement door was kicked in. Can the frame be repaired?
Yes. Split jambs and torn strike areas are cut out, spliced and reinforced so the same kick does not succeed again — usually without replacing the door.
Do you work in Scarborough apartment and co-op buildings?
Yes — corridor, stairwell and fire-rated doors, closers and hardware, for property managers and boards.
Why does my door not latch properly in winter?
Closer fluid thickens in cold weather, and wind pressure near the Bluffs makes it worse. Exterior closers often need seasonal adjustment.
Do you charge for estimates in Scarborough?
No, estimates are free.
