KapMorgan repairs door frames and thresholds across Los Angeles: cracked or rotted jambs, damaged strike plates, and worn or uneven thresholds. A damaged frame is one of the most common reasons a door will not close or lock properly, and it is often mistaken for a problem with the door itself. we confirm the exact price on site, and most repairs finish in a single visit. Every estimate is free.
Door Frame & Threshold Repair: Prices
A threshold swap alone runs from $110. Frame repair depends on how much of the jamb is damaged — a small section near the strike plate costs less than a full jamb replacement. Combined frame and threshold work runs from $200. we confirm the exact price on site. Every estimate is free. $150 minimum per visit, labor only. Several small tasks in one visit are added together.

- Doors that won’t close or lock because the frame has shifted
A door that suddenly won’t latch is often blamed on the door itself, but the real cause is frequently a strike plate that has pulled away from a softened or rotted section of the frame. Older Los Angeles homes with wood frames near an entry exposed to rain are especially prone to this. We repair or replace just the damaged section of the frame whenever possible, rather than the whole jamb, which keeps the cost down. Thresholds wear out the same way: years of foot traffic wear down the wood or aluminum strip until it no longer seals evenly against the door, letting in drafts, dust and water during storms. A worn threshold also creates a trip hazard once it warps or lifts at one edge.
Stucco and wood-frame homes built before the 1980s often have door frames set directly into the exterior wall without a modern drip cap, so water tends to collect at the base of the jamb over time. That is the section most likely to soften first, and it is usually the source of the sagging or sticking that gets noticed before the rot itself is visible. Catching the problem early, before the damage spreads into the wall framing behind the frame, keeps the repair limited to the frame alone instead of a larger job.
