See all 37 job pricesI’m Chance O’Shel, owner of The Smart Fix Handyman. This guide uses 37 door repair jobs our team finished in 21 cities across Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston between February and October 2026, with the price of each. Our door repair page shows the work we take on.
Most of these jobs fixed a door that stuck, sagged or wouldn’t latch. Twenty-two of the 37 cost less than $250. The higher prices came from rebuilt jambs, door closers and doors that had to be rehung. A new door is a different job, so door replacements aren’t in these prices.

What does a door adjustment cost?
Ten door adjustments cost $140 to $195. In each one, we reset the hinges, latch or strike so the door would close and latch again.
Three short visits were billed at a one-hour minimum, $140 or $170. Two of them took less than 45 minutes. The third, in Coppell, took about 35 minutes.
Two adjustments cost more. A sagging door between a house and garage cost $225 to adjust so its latch and deadbolt would catch. An exterior door that rubbed at the bottom cost $262.50.
Why did some door repairs cost $350 or more?
Ten of the 37 door repairs cost $350 or more. Most of them rebuilt damaged wood around the latch, replaced a door closer or rehung a door.
Five jamb repairs ran from $280 to $464. On the $280 job, we replaced about three feet of a damaged latch-side jamb and reset the strike. The $464 job rebuilt a damaged jamb and reinforced the strike plates.
Door closers varied the most. Repairing a closer at a business cost $187.05. Replacing one on a commercial entry door cost $369.51. The top price, $762, was commercial closer work with $237 in materials.
Rehanging a door took longer. A pocket door rehang in Spring cost $489.25, because we took off the trim to reach the pocket and put it back. A back door rehung on new hinges cost $546.50. That total included a $125 first-year membership and a member discount.
Do door repairs cost less in Houston?
Our five Houston-area door repairs had a $175 median, a little under the $195 median of our 32 Dallas-Fort Worth door repairs. Five jobs is a small sample, so treat the Houston figure as a rough guide.
Three of the five Houston jobs cost $175. The other two were a $277 door bottom and threshold repair and the $489.25 pocket door.
What should you send for an accurate door repair quote?
A photo of each side of the door and a short note on what it does will get you a close price. These details moved the prices most:
- What the door does. Sticking, sagging and missed latches were usually adjustments, from $140 to $195.
- Damaged wood at the latch. The five jamb repairs ran from $280 to $464.
- A door closer. Closer work ran from $187.05 to $762.
- How many doors need work. One $140 visit adjusted a front door and a garage-entry door.

About these prices
This guide uses 37 completed jobs from Smart Fix job and invoice records, pulled on October 20, 2026. Each price is the full job total from its invoices, including parts and tax we charged, after discounts and credits. A visit with several tasks counts as one job. We left out assessment-only visits and any job whose total did not match its invoices.
The median is the middle price once all 37 are sorted, so one large project cannot pull it up the way it pulls up the average. Dates use the day work started. Cities follow the job address. Customer details stay private. These are past prices for real jobs, not a quote.
