Precise Fit

Square, plumb, and properly latched

Quiet & Efficient

Less rattle, better energy seal

Signs You Need Alignment/Adjustment

  • Door scrapes floor or rubs the jamb
  • Handle latch misses the strike or needs force
  • Window binds in track or sits uneven
  • Daylight gaps, drafts, or rattling in wind
  • Sliding door hard to move or jumps track

Why Things Shift

Seasonal movement, settling frames, worn hinges/rollers, and loose strikes throw things out of square. Small adjustments restore smooth operation and a tighter seal.

Our Alignment & Adjustment Process

1

Inspect & diagnose

Check reveal lines, hinge wear, sash/leaf sag, strike position, and roller/track condition.

2

Square & level

Shim or adjust hinges, tracks, and hardware to true the unit and relieve binding points.

3

Set latch & compression

Reposition strikes and tune keepers/rollers for easy closing and proper weatherseal compression.

4

Lubricate & test

Lubricate pivots/tracks, verify smooth travel, and confirm tight seal without slamming or sticking.

We Service

Hinged doors (in/out-swing), sliding patio doors, double-hung & casement windows, tilt/turn, and storefront-style aluminum units.

Alignment & Adjustment — FAQs

Will adjustment fix drafts?

Often yes. Correcting reveal lines and strike position improves compression at the seals. We can also replace worn weatherstrip.

Do you replace worn hardware?

If hinges, rollers, or keepers are beyond adjustment, we’ll quote replacements and install matching parts.

How long does it take?

Many alignments take 45–90 minutes per unit; complex sliders or heavy doors may take longer.

Will this help with noise?

A tighter seal reduces rattle and outside air gaps, which can lower noise infiltration.

Service Area

Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and nearby NYC neighborhoods. If you’re unsure, just ask us.

Quick Owner Tip

Avoid forcing stuck doors—snapping photos of the gap (top/lock/bottom) helps us diagnose. Use /Ctrl + Shift + S on desktop, or your phone, and we’ll guide next steps.

Safety & Security

Proper latch engagement is a safety issue. After alignment, we confirm the lock throws fully and the unit seals tightly.
