Doors that sag, rub, or miss the latch
Rehanging heavy old doors, repairing chewed-up jambs, and moving a strike that no longer meets.
North Side windows and doors
This page is for windows and doors in Deutschtown, the War Streets, and nearby. Loose hinges, sashes that fall, and latches that miss are common examples — the point is to keep a sound original opening working when we can.
Free quotes. Clear price before any work. No work without your OK. A local Pittsburgh coordinator reviews every request.

Operation, frames, and hardware. Original hinge and sash work is a common example in this housing stock, not a hardware-only shop.
Rehanging heavy old doors, repairing chewed-up jambs, and moving a strike that no longer meets.
Sashes that fall or won't open, glass, and screens.
Hinges, latches, and cabinet or transom hardware when you want the original pieces to stay with the house.
We won't swap a solid original door for a hollow slab just because a hinge failed, unless you ask for that.
A straightforward path from your message to a clear price — then work only if you say yes.
Sag, scrape, miss the latch, or a loose cabinet run.
If a part is truly gone, we’ll say so.
Jamb repair versus a simple rehang will be spelled out. You’ll still have a working entry.

Practical notes for North Side, Pittsburgh homeowners. These are not reviews, and they do not invent statistics.
A first-floor sash a few feet from the sidewalk is a comfort issue and a securing issue.
A slab that has hung on the same hinges for decades often needs the hinges, not a new door.
A sash that's been painted shut for years should be opened, not forced until a rail splits.
Yes, if that’s what you want. If you want to keep a mortise lock, say so and we’ll try to service it first.
Mention it. A threshold repair or a bottom-rail repair may still save the slab; sometimes it won’t.
Light service, yes. A full plated restoration may be a specialist. We’ll be honest.
A licensed contractor is arranged when required. You’ll know who is coming.
Often, if the hardware is reachable. Include it.
Describe the problem. Some off-track pocket doors can be arranged; some need more opening of the wall than a simple visit.
If you want the original hardware kept, say that explicitly — that’s the default we aim for anyway.
