WHAT WE REPAIR
-
Door Won't Close
Foundation settlement, hinge failure, or swollen wood. We find the root cause, not a temporary patch.
-
Humidity Warping
Hill Country humidity drives wood expansion every summer. Planing, sealing, and hardware adjustment restore function.
-
Frame Damage
Forced-entry splinters and rot-softened jambs. Steel reinforcement plates and hardwood splices rebuild structural integrity.
-
Weather-Strip Refresh
Drafts and dust entry from worn seals. Compression or magnetic weatherstripping replaces all four sides.

Walk-Through and Warranty
We walk you through the repair, explain what was done, and confirm the 1-year labor warranty before leaving.
FORCED-ENTRY FRAME REINFORCEMENT
A Kick-In Leaves More Than a Dent
When a door is forced, the wood at the strike plate splits and the screws pull free. Standard 3/4-inch jamb screws held only by door-frame wood offer little resistance. Most residential forced-entry damage concentrates in a 6-inch zone around the strike plate, which is why the door opens in seconds and the frame splinters.
Our repair extends beyond the visible damage. We splice in hardwood to replace the fractured section, then install steel door-armor plates across the strike zone and drive 3-inch screws through the jamb into wall studs. That shifts the load from soft jamb wood to structural framing. The result is a door that holds better against kick-in than the original installation.
- Steel reinforcement plates span the full strike zone
- 3-inch fasteners reach wall studs, not just jamb wood
- Hardwood splice matches existing species for finish compatibility
- Commercial-grade deadbolt upgrade available in the same visit

I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

Josh was amazing! I called him when I was locked out of my car, and he arrived within 20 minutes. He was professional, fast, and had my car unlocked in no time. The whole process was stress free, and his pricing was fair. I really appreciate how quickly he came to help. Highly recommend Josh if you ever need a reliable locksmith!

Josh was awesome, he came to the rescue and I didn’t have to wait longer than 30 minutes in total. He also was incredibly kind and understanding of my situation. Dropped off my kids, and somehow my key fab went missing! Also gave me a discount!!

It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

Excellent service and high quality items! Roland was able to get me this key fob AND program it for a great price. Rechargeable fob is a lot more convenient than having to replace the battery every time it dies. Thank you !

I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

DOOR REPAIR - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My door won't close in summer. What is causing it and how do you fix it?
Hill Country humidity swings from around 30 percent in winter to 80 percent or higher in summer. Solid wood doors absorb that moisture and expand, binding against the frame at the top edge or the latch side. The fix: identify binding points with a friction marker, remove the door, plane 1/16 to 1/8 inch from the high spots, sand smooth, then prime and paint the exposed edges to seal against future moisture uptake. Repair time: 60 to 90 minutes. Cost: $100 to $200. For doors that bind every season, we recommend replacing the slab with a fiberglass door, which holds dimension year-round regardless of humidity.
Can you repair a door frame after a break-in the same day?
Yes. Forced-entry frame damage is a security emergency and we prioritize it for same-day service throughout Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Pflugerville. The typical repair: remove the splintered jamb section, splice in matching hardwood, install steel door-armor reinforcement plates across the strike zone, then drive 3-inch screws through the jamb into the wall studs. Result is a frame that resists kick-in better than the original construction. Cost: $200 to $400. Call (888) 601-6005 before noon for same-day scheduling.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my door?
Repair makes sense when: the problem is isolated to one component (a hinge, the strike plate, or a binding edge), the door is less than 15 years old, and repair cost is under 50 percent of replacement cost. Replace when: rot exceeds 20 percent of the frame, the door has warped more than 1/4 inch, or multiple systems have failed at once. A hollow-core interior door that has been kicked in is cheaper to replace than repair. We assess during the service call and give you an honest recommendation before any work begins. License #B19847.
How long do door repairs typically last?
Hinge replacement with heavy-duty ball-bearing units: 10 to 20 years. Frame splice with hardwood and steel reinforcement plates: 10-plus years when rot is treated and wood is sealed. Weatherstripping: 3 to 5 years for compression type, 5 to 10 years for magnetic type. Strike plate realignment: indefinite unless the house continues to settle. Alignment planing: 5 to 10 years unless foundation movement continues. We back all labor with a 1-year warranty.
What causes foundation-related door misalignment in Texas?
Texas expansive clay soil absorbs and releases water with the seasons, causing foundations to move. Homes in Buda, Kyle, Georgetown, and Leander built on slab-on-grade see 1 to 2 inches of seasonal movement in some cases. The door frame follows the structure. When the frame racks, the door no longer sits square in the opening: the latch side rises or falls, gaps appear at the top corner, or the door swings open on its own. Fix: adjust hinges, shim the frame, and plane binding edges. If foundation movement is ongoing, the repair is temporary until the foundation is addressed.
Do you repair commercial door frames in addition to residential?
Yes. We repair both residential entry doors and commercial entry frames including steel-clad units, aluminum-glass storefront frames, and fire-rated assemblies. Commercial frame repairs follow the same reinforcement principles: steel plates, long fasteners into structural members, and weatherseal replacement. For fire-rated assemblies, we only install components that carry a matching fire label. License #B19847. Technicians available 24/7 for commercial emergency repairs across Texas.
