Hinges, Closers, and Panic Hardware
The lifespan of door closers is even shorter than that of other hardware components. These small parts allow your doors to close smoothly without slamming, typically lasting around 7 years before needing replacement.
Attempting to replace or repair door closers yourself can be a daunting task, but with Stolzy’s Contracting Services, you can trust the job will be completed quickly and accurately.
Wondering when it’s time to replace hinges?
There are several indicators. Mechanical issues, such as hinges ceasing to function properly, can manifest as sticking and difficulty in opening doors, even after attempts to lubricate them. Hinges can become encrusted with dried paint over time, hindering their functionality.
Aesthetic considerations may also call for hinge replacement, especially when updating door knobs and locks to better match your hardware. Changing all components of a door’s hardware can surprisingly revitalize the look of your home.
Security concerns may necessitate hinge replacement, especially after a break-in where hinges may have been damaged. In such cases, replacing hinges, locks, or even the entire door may be necessary to return full security to your home.
