Hinges and pivots are what actually carry a door, and in Clarington they wear out on a schedule set by traffic and weather. A busy shop entrance in downtown Bowmanville or a Courtice plaza grinds out top and bottom pivots in a couple of seasons, and the salt and grit tracked in over the winter finishes the job. On the residential and heritage side the failure looks different: hinge screws strip out of the soft old jambs in Orono and Newcastle Village century homes, the door sags at the top corner, and it starts catching on the jamb and the floor.
We replace butt hinges, continuous hinges, offset and centre pivots and bottom arms, and we repair what the failure damaged on the way — stripped screw holes, torn hinge pockets, split jambs, and pivot pockets packed with grit. On high-traffic openings we will often recommend a continuous hinge instead of three butt hinges, because it spreads the load down the full height of the door and stops the sag coming back. Whatever goes on, the door gets re-hung to the opening it actually has and checked to make sure it latches unaided.

Hinge & Pivot Replacement — your questions
The hinge screws keep pulling out of our old door frame — can that be fixed?
Yes, and it is a common call in older Bowmanville, Orono and Newcastle homes. We repair the stripped pocket properly with longer fasteners into solid framing or a repaired jamb, rather than packing the hole with filler. Done right the hinge holds and the door stops sagging.
Is a continuous hinge worth it on a busy commercial door?
On a high-cycle entrance, usually yes. A continuous hinge carries the door along its full height instead of at three points, so it resists the sag that keeps pulling a busy shop or plaza door out of alignment. We will tell you honestly when a standard hinge set is fine and the money is better spent elsewhere.
Our storefront door is dropping at the lock corner again — did the last repair fail?
Not necessarily. If the pivot was replaced but the frame is out of square or the closer is over-tightened, the new hardware is being loaded wrong and will wear the same way. We check the pivot, the frame square and the closer setting together, which is why our repairs tend to stay put.
