Hamilton’s Housing and What It Does to Doors
Hamilton has one of the older housing stocks in the region, and that shapes the work:
- Century and pre-war brick homes (Durand, Kirkendall, Stipeley, Crown Point). Original solid wood doors in original frames, often on masonry openings. These are worth saving — the usual failure is rot at the jamb bottom and a frame that has shifted, not a failed door. See wood door repair.
- Masonry openings behave differently. On brick, a settled or shifted frame cannot simply be repacked the way it can in a wood-framed wall — resquaring has to work with the opening. This is the single biggest reason a Hamilton door “keeps sticking after it was fixed”.
- Mountain post-war housing. Aging steel entry doors and 1970s-90s patio doors with flattened rollers and worn tracks — see sliding and patio door repair.
- Escarpment exposure. Properties on the brow and upper Mountain take considerably more wind, which is hard on closers, seals and anything that has to latch against pressure.

Commercial and Industrial Door Work
Hamilton’s commercial work divides between the retail strips and the industrial north end. On Barton, King, James North and Ottawa Street the recurring job is aluminum storefront doors that have dropped on a worn pivot and started dragging — an early fix keeps it from becoming a corner rebuild. In the industrial areas the work is heavier: hollow metal doors and frames with base corrosion, panic hardware, and closers on doors that cycle constantly. Where a frame has rusted through or a fire rating has been compromised, we handle full assembly replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
My century home’s front door sticks every summer. Should it be planed?
Often not. Seasonal sticking on an older solid door is usually an unsealed top or bottom edge taking on moisture. Sealing all six surfaces frequently solves it without leaving winter gaps.
Can an original heritage door be saved?
Usually yes. Older solid doors are very repairable — rotted sections can be spliced with matched timber and hardware areas reinforced.
Do you work on Hamilton’s industrial and warehouse doors?
Yes — hollow metal doors and frames, closers, panic hardware and base corrosion repair.
Do you cover Dundas, Ancaster and Stoney Creek?
