Door Repair in Boca Raton, FL
Doors are the single most-repaired thing in a Boca Raton home. Humidity warps wood. Salt air corrodes hinges and locks. Sliding glass doors — almost every Boca home has at least one, and many have three — collect debris in the tracks and grind their rollers down until they won't close. Front doors swell every summer and stick. Interior doors get knob marks, dents, and crooked alignment. We fix all of it.
Trusted door repair across Boca Raton
Sliding glass doors are the single most common door call we get in Boca. The original rollers in most Boca homes last about 15 years; if your house was built in the 90s or earlier, you're due. Symptoms: door won't close all the way, you have to lift it to slide it, you can hear grinding, or it jumps off the track. The fix is roller replacement ($225, usually under 90 minutes) plus track cleaning. After the fix, the door glides with one finger.
Interior door fixes are everyday work for us: knob and lever swaps ($65 per door), hinge replacement ($95 for all three on a door), planing a humidity-warped door so it closes again ($135), and deadbolt installs or re-keys ($95). Exterior doors get weather seal replacement ($95) and threshold work as needed.
If your front door is sagging from a loose top hinge, your screen door spring is shot, or your patio door lock won't catch, we handle it. Call (561) 299-0890 or book online — most door work is scheduled within 24 hours.

What sets our door repair apart
Sliding glass door rollers — the #1 Boca door call
Almost every Boca home has sliding glass doors leading to a pool, lanai, or patio. The rollers on these doors are a wear item — they last about 15 years of normal use, less if there's sand in the track. When they wear out, the door becomes hard to slide, drops down on the track, and eventually jumps off entirely. Roller replacement ($225) includes new rollers, full track cleaning, and re-adjustment. Most doors that took two hands to close now slide with one finger.
Humidity warp and seasonal door swelling
Boca's wet season swells wood doors. The classic symptom is a door that closes fine in winter but won't close in August. The fix is planing — we mark the contact spot, take the door off its hinges, plane down the swollen edge by 1/16" to 1/8", and re-prime the cut edge so it doesn't absorb moisture again. The door closes year-round.
Deadbolt and lock work
We install new deadbolts ($95), re-key existing locks on-site, replace broken interior locksets, and fix doors where the strike plate has moved out of alignment with the bolt. We do not do high-security commercial work (call a locksmith for that) but everything residential is in our wheelhouse.
Hinge replacement and door realignment
Old hinges sag. A sagging door rubs the floor or the strike plate. We replace all three hinges (with new screws into solid wood, not the original short screws that pulled out), shim where needed, and re-align the door so it closes square. $95 for three hinges including alignment.
Weather seals and storm prep
Boca's wind-driven rain finds every gap. We replace door bottom seals, jamb weatherstripping, and threshold gaskets to keep water out. Before hurricane season, we can do a full perimeter check on your front and back doors for $145 and replace whatever's failed.

What Boca Raton homeowners say
"Sliding glass door wouldn't close right — they replaced the rollers and re-aligned the track. Glides like it's brand new. Took maybe an hour."

"Replaced three interior door knobs and one deadbolt. Quick, neat, and they took the old hardware away."
Door Repair in Boca Raton — frequently asked questions
How much does sliding glass door roller replacement cost?+
$225 for a standard residential sliding glass door, including both new rollers, full track cleaning, and re-adjustment. Most doors finish in under 90 minutes. Heavier or older doors with track damage may need additional work, quoted before we start.
Can you fix a door that won't close because of humidity warp?+
Yes — this is one of our most common Boca jobs. We plane down the swollen edge, re-prime the cut, and re-hang the door. $135 per door, finished in an hour. The door closes year-round after the fix.
Do you install deadbolts and re-key locks?+
Yes. Deadbolt installation or re-key is $95 per lock. We don't do safe work or commercial high-security locks, but residential locks of all common brands (Kwikset, Schlage, Baldwin) are routine.
My front door is sagging at the top. Can you fix it?+
Yes — usually the top hinge screws have pulled out of the soft wood behind the door frame. We install longer 3-inch screws that bite into the framing stud behind the jamb, re-align the door, and check the other hinges. $95 for the full repair.
Can you replace the weatherstripping around my front door?+
Yes. Full perimeter weatherstripping (top, sides, bottom) is $95 and takes about an hour. We use closed-cell foam or rubber seals rated for Florida UV and humidity.
Do you work on hurricane / impact doors?+
Yes, on standard maintenance and repair (rollers, weather seals, latches, alignment). We don't replace impact glass — that requires a glass company — but everything else is in our wheelhouse.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Boca Raton?+
Yes — Palm Handyman is fully licensed in the State of Florida and carries $2 million in general liability insurance plus workers' compensation. We provide certificates of insurance directly to Boca Raton HOAs and property managers on request, often within the hour.
Do you offer same-day service in Boca Raton?+
Yes. We hold same-day appointment windows across Boca Raton (ZIP 33431) and the surrounding Palm Beach County area. Call before noon and we can usually have a technician at your home that afternoon. Saturdays are also available at no extra charge.
How are your prices calculated?+
We use transparent flat-rate pricing on most jobs — you see the total before any work begins. For larger or multi-task visits, we offer an hourly rate. Either way, you get a written estimate and there are no surprise add-ons.
Do you guarantee your work?+
Every job carries a 90-day workmanship guarantee. If anything we install or repair fails because of how we did the work, we come back and fix it free of charge.
