Why Door Alignment Repair Matters in Eastleigh
Door alignment repair in Eastleigh solves one of the most frustrating issues homeowners face – a door that sticks, drags, or won't lock properly. Misaligned doors are extremely common across this thriving market town with a mix of modern and period properties, caused by a combination of worn hinges, settled frames, and seasonal expansion.

Areas We Cover in Eastleigh
Common Door Alignment Issues We See in Eastleigh Properties
- •Dropped UPVC doors in 10-15 year old estates across Chandler's Ford, Hiltingbury and Velmore — heavy doors plus time plus worn hinges combining to drop the door 2-5mm and cause locking problems
- •Sticking composite doors in newer Boorley Green and Valley Park homes — slight movement in the building plus heavy doors equals catching on the frame
- •Settling-affected frames in older properties across Bishopstoke and Allbrook — when the building itself has shifted (often subtly), the door needs more than just hinge adjustment
- •Doors dragging on carpets after carpet replacement — common cause; we can adjust the hinge to clear the new carpet
- •Newly-fitted doors with installer-induced alignment issues — alignment problems from rushed installation or inappropriate hinge selection for the door weight
Frequently Asked Questions — Door Alignment Repair Eastleigh
How much does it cost to realign a UPVC door in Eastleigh?
Standard door realignment is £45-£95 depending on what is needed. If just hinge adjustment, lower end. If hinges need replacing or frame shimming required, higher.
My UPVC door won't lock — is this an alignment problem?
Often yes. When a door has dropped, the multi-point bolts no longer align with their keeps. Sometimes a quick hinge adjustment fixes it; sometimes the door's been dropped so long the locking mechanism itself is worn from forced operation.
How long does the realignment last?
A correctly realigned door should hold for years — provided the hinges aren't worn out. If a door drops again within 6 months, the hinges are at end-of-life. Replacement is £30-£60 per pair fitted.
Can you sort a sticking door same-day in Eastleigh?
Usually yes — our Chandler's Ford depot means we can offer same-day appointments for active "won't close" or "won't lock" cases across SO50 and SO53. Call 023 8001 2328.
