Signs It’s Time to Replace a Door
Repairing a lock won’t help much if the door itself is failing. Consider a replacement when you notice:
- A split, rotted, or warped door that no longer closes or latches cleanly
- Damage from a forced entry, including a cracked frame or broken edge
- Drafts, light, or water getting in around the door even after weatherstripping
- A hollow-core exterior door that offers little resistance to kicking
- Commercial doors that sag, drag, or wear out closers and exit devices too quickly
Residential Door Replacement
For Arlington homes, we replace front entry doors, back and side doors, garage entry doors, and interior doors. Solid wood, fiberglass, and steel exterior doors all offer far more strength than hollow-core doors, and we pair each one with a quality deadbolt, a reinforced strike plate, and long screws that reach the wall framing. Whether you have a brick colonial in Lyon Village or a townhouse near Shirlington, we match the door to your opening and your home’s style.
Commercial Door Replacement
Businesses need doors that stand up to heavy traffic and meet code. We install hollow metal and steel doors for back entrances and utility rooms, Herculite and aluminum storefront doors, and doors prepared for panic bars, closers, and access control. As a door replacement Arlington VA business owners rely on, we coordinate the door, frame hardware, and locking system so you’re not managing several contractors.

Choosing the Right Door Material
- Steel doors offer the most strength for the price and are a common choice for back entrances, garage entry doors, and commercial utility rooms. They resist kicking and forced entry and need little maintenance.
- Fiberglass doors hold up well to Virginia’s humid summers and cold snaps without warping or rotting. They can be finished to look like wood, which makes them popular for front entries.
- Solid wood doors suit historic and traditional homes. They are heavy and secure but need periodic sealing or painting to protect them from moisture.
- Glass and aluminum storefront doors give businesses visibility and a clean look, and they can be prepared for panic hardware, closers, and electric strikes.
For each door replacement Arlington VA customers request, we’ll recommend a material based on where the door is, how much traffic it gets, and how much security you need, not on what is easiest to install.
Security Upgrades to Add With a New Door
Every door replacement Arlington VA job is the best time to fix the weak points of the old opening. Common upgrades include a reinforced strike box, a door-frame reinforcement kit, security hinges with non-removable pins on out-swinging doors, a wide-angle door viewer or video doorbell, and a smart lock or keypad deadbolt. For businesses, we can prepare the new door for card access or an electric strike so you don’t need to modify it later.
Better Comfort and Lower Energy Bills
An old, poorly fitted door lets in drafts, noise, and moisture. A properly sealed replacement with new weatherstripping and an adjustable threshold keeps your home or office more comfortable year-round and can help reduce heating and cooling costs. It also cuts down on the sticking and swelling many Arlington homeowners notice every summer, and a tight-fitting door keeps locks and latches aligned so they last longer. If you’re unsure whether your door can be repaired instead, we’ll tell you honestly.

- Recommend the right door. You’ll get options and an upfront quote for the door, hardware, and installation. For lock work that often goes with a new door, see our Arlington locksmith prices.

Door Replacement FAQ
Do condo unit doors have special requirements?
Often. Many buildings require fire-rated unit doors with closers, and associations may set the style and finish. Check with management before ordering; we can install a door that meets the building’s rules.
Do you replace both the door and the locks?
Yes. Every door replacement includes properly fitted, high-security locks and hardware, so you’re not left coordinating two separate contractors.
Do you remove and dispose of the old door?
Yes. We take the old door and packaging with us and leave the work area clean, so there is nothing left for you to haul away or schedule a bulk trash pickup for.
What if my door frame was split in a break-in?
We secure the opening right away, then repair or replace the frame and door and add a reinforced strike so the new door resists the same kind of attack.
