Doors That Close Smoothly and Latch Every Time

Interior door installation and replacement services in Greer, South Carolina

When a door in your Greer home drags on the floor, won't latch, or has a frame that's visibly out of square, it affects how the room functions and how much sound passes through. Older doors often warp, and frames settle over time, leaving gaps that let noise and light through even when the door is closed. Replacing the door and frame corrects these issues and restores the privacy and function the room needs.

Crowning Construction, LLC handles interior door installation and replacement throughout Greer, including removing old doors and frames, installing pre-hung units, and fitting new hardware. The work includes shimming the frame so it's plumb and level, securing it to the rough opening, and adjusting the door so it swings freely and latches without binding. You'll have a door that operates the way it should from the first time you close it.

If you're dealing with worn or misaligned doors in Greer and want them replaced correctly, schedule interior door service today.

Removing the Old and Fitting the New

Your door replacement in Greer starts with removing the old door, hinges, and casing, then pulling the frame out of the rough opening. The new pre-hung door is set into place, shimmed at the hinge side first to make sure it's plumb, and then shimmed at the latch side so the reveal is even top to bottom. Screws are driven through the frame into the wall studs, and casing is installed to cover the gap between the frame and drywall.

Once the installation is complete, you'll notice the door swings without dragging, the latch engages firmly without forcing it, and the gaps around the frame are uniform. The door will stay in position when partially opened and won't swing on its own.

This work is common in older Greer homes where doors have been painted over multiple times or where settling has caused frames to shift. The new door is sized to fit standard or custom openings, and hardware is installed to match your home's existing style.

Common Questions Before Replacing Doors

Homeowners in Greer often ask whether the frame needs to be replaced along with the door, how long the work takes, and what to do if the rough opening is not a standard size.

What is a pre-hung door?
A pre-hung door comes with the door already attached to the frame and hinges installed. This makes installation faster and ensures the door fits the frame correctly from the start.
How do you make sure the door is level?
The frame is shimmed at multiple points along the sides and checked with a level to confirm it's plumb. The door is tested during installation to make sure it swings smoothly and latches without adjustment.
Why does my current door stick or not close all the way?
Doors stick when the frame is out of square, the hinges are loose, or the door has swelled from moisture. Replacing the door and frame corrects these issues and restores normal operation.
What if my door opening is not a standard size?
Custom-sized doors and frames can be ordered to fit non-standard openings in Greer homes. The rough opening is measured carefully, and the new unit is built to match those dimensions.
How long does it take to replace one interior door?
Most interior door replacements in Greer take two to four hours depending on whether the frame is being replaced and how much trim work is involved. You'll have a working door the same day.

Interior door replacement in Greer is straightforward when the rough opening is sound and the new door is sized correctly before installation begins.
