Doors That Close Tight and Operate Smoothly

M&M Home Solutions repairs and installs storm doors, entry doors, and interior doors for homes in West Haven and surrounding areas.

A door that sticks, drags on the threshold, or lets drafts through wastes energy and creates daily frustration every time you enter or leave your home. In West Haven and neighboring communities, seasonal humidity swings cause wood doors to swell in summer and shrink in winter, while storm doors take constant abuse from wind and salt air that loosens hinges and cracks seals. M&M Home Solutions handles repairs and full replacements so your doors open smoothly, latch securely, and keep weather where it belongs.

This service covers storm door installation and repair, entry door replacement with weather-stripping and threshold adjustment, interior door hanging and alignment, and hardware upgrades such as locksets, hinges, and closers. Whether you need a single door adjusted or multiple units replaced throughout your home, the work includes fitting, shimming, and sealing to meet manufacturer specifications and local building practices.

If you have doors in West Haven and beyond that need attention, contact M&M Home Solutions to schedule an evaluation.

Installation Includes Adjustments for Long-Term Use

When installing a new entry or storm door in West Haven and surrounding areas, the technician removes the old unit, inspects the jamb for rot or misalignment, and makes repairs before the new door goes in. The replacement door is set level using shims, screwed into the frame at hinge and strike locations, and checked for smooth operation through the full swing. Weather-stripping is applied along all edges, and thresholds are adjusted so the door seals tightly without requiring excessive force to close. Storm doors receive closer adjustments to control swing speed and prevent slamming in windy conditions.

After installation, you will notice that the door latches without lifting or pushing, drafts no longer enter around the edges, and the lockset engages smoothly without wiggling the handle. Interior doors hang square in the frame so they stay open or closed without drifting, and hinges operate quietly without squeaking or binding. These adjustments prevent premature wear on hardware and reduce the need for seasonal tweaks as humidity changes.

The service includes removing and disposing of old doors, but it does not cover structural framing repairs, sidelight replacement, or custom millwork. If the door frame shows significant rot or the opening is out of square beyond what shimming can correct, the technician will explain what additional work is needed before proceeding. Most single door installations finish within two to four hours depending on the condition of the existing frame.

What You Should Know Before Starting

Homeowners often ask about material options, timing, and what prep work they can handle themselves, so these answers cover the most practical questions before scheduling door work.

How do I know if my door needs repair or replacement?
If the door surface is intact and the frame is solid, repairs such as hinge replacement, weather-stripping, or planing the edge may solve the problem. Doors with rot, warping, or broken glass panels usually need full replacement.

What should I do before the installation appointment?
Clear furniture and belongings away from both sides of the door, remove any decorations or hardware you want to keep, and ensure pets are secured in another room during the work. Technicians handle all other prep and cleanup.
