The service
What door installation & repair is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
Door installation and repair covers hanging a new door in its frame, fixing one that sticks, drags or will not latch, and fitting the hardware, threshold and trim around it. Door Installation & Repair in Sunnyvale is booked through pros who cover its 5 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Cherry Chase, Birdland, and Ortega Park. In Sunnyvale, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. You choose the pro on NorTech, and each independent, background-checked pro sets their own price and warranty.

What shapes a door installation & repair job

What is not part of door installation & repair
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- Any job where labor and materials reach $1,000 or more, such as replacing several entry doors. That scope belongs to a licensed contractor, which NorTech makes clear before you commit to a booking.
- Cutting a new opening or widening one in a load-bearing wall. That is structural work for a licensed contractor and often needs a permit.
- Hardwired door hardware, intercoms and access control that need new wiring. Electrical wiring belongs to a licensed electrician.
- Impact-rated, fire-rated and security-rated doors that must be installed to a code or listing. Ask the pro whether they handle those.
- Painting or staining the door and frame beyond a prep-ready finish, unless the pro agrees to it in your booking notes.

Before you book door installation & repair
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Measure the opening and the old door
Measure the width, height and thickness of the door and the frame opening, and note which way it swings. The pro can then bring the right size or check that a pre-hung unit will fit.
Note which way the door swings
Stand facing the door from the side with the hinges. Hinges on the left means a left-hand door, on the right means a right-hand.
Choose your hardware before the visit
Buy the handle set, deadbolt or smart lock, and check the backset and bore size on the door. A pro can only fit what you have on hand, and a mismatch means another trip.
Check whether the frame is damaged
Look for splits at the strike plate, rot at the bottom and gaps around the edges. Frame damage can turn a quick adjustment into a larger repair, and the pro will plan for it if you tell them.
Protect the new door right away
A new wood or steel door should be primed and painted or sealed soon after install, especially on the edges. Ask the pro what finish is best for your door and exposure.
Keep the opening clear and note access
Move furniture and rugs from both sides of the door, and let the pro know about parking, stairs and tight halls. Large doors can be heavy and awkward to carry.
