Door and Cabinet Repair in Boulder County, Colorado
Professional Cabinet and Door Repairs
If you have doors that won't latch, stick in their frames, or cabinets that sit crooked or won't close properly, I can help.
I'm Philip, owner of Handyman Philip. I'm fully insured and handle every job personally. Door and cabinet repair is detail work - it requires patience, a careful eye, and a willingness to take the time to get the adjustment right rather than call it close enough. That's exactly how I work.
Most contractors won't touch jobs this small. I specialize in exactly them.
Why Doors and Cabinets Go Wrong
Understanding the cause is half the repair. The most common reasons:
Settling - Homes shift over time, especially older ones. Door frames go slightly out of square, causing doors to bind or fail to latch.
Humidity and seasonal changes - Wood expands in summer and contracts in winter. Doors that latch fine in January may stick badly in July.
Worn or loose hardware - Hinges loosen over years of use, causing the door to sag. Strike plates shift, catches wear out, drawer slides fail.
Poor original installation - Cabinets installed slightly out of level, doors hung without adequate clearance. This is especially common in newer construction where work was done quickly.
Knowing what's causing the problem determines the right fix.

Common Door and Cabinet Problems I Fix
Many homes in Boulder County—especially older houses and rental properties—experience issues such as:
Doors that swing open or won’t stay closed
Doors that rub, stick, or won’t latch
Cabinets that are crooked or misaligned
Drawers that stick or won’t close smoothly
Loose or stripped screws and hardware
Doors damaged from settling or humidity changes
These small problems can add up over time, and fixing them early helps prevent bigger repairs later.
Cabinet and Door Realignment and Adjustment
In many cases, doors and cabinets don’t need replacement - just proper adjustment.
I frequently help with:
Realigning cabinet doors for even gaps
Adjusting hinges after settling
Correcting sagging doors
Re-aligning strike plates and latches
Improving how drawers slide and close
These adjustments can dramatically improve how your space feels and functions.

Full cabinet replacement or custom cabinetry
Structural door framing changes
Commercial door systems
If your project falls outside my scope, I’ll let you know upfront and help point you toward the right solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix a door that was damaged or warped in a fire or flood event?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Cosmetic issues and minor warping can often be addressed. Structural frame damage from the Marshall Fire or similar events may require a contractor. I'll give you an honest assessment on-site.
Can you upgrade my cabinet hinges to soft-close?
Yes. Soft-close hinge upgrades are a popular and straightforward improvement - it's one of the most satisfying small upgrades you can make to a kitchen.
How do you fix a door that sticks only in summer?
Seasonal sticking is usually a wood expansion issue. Depending on where it's binding, the fix might be planing the door edge, adjusting the hinges, or both. I'll diagnose it properly rather than guess.
Do you work on exterior doors?
Yes, including alignment, hardware replacement, and weatherstripping. I don't do full door frame replacement or installation of pre-hung exterior doors - that's contractor scope.
How long does door and cabinet repair typically take?
A single door adjustment is usually 30–60 minutes. Many clients bring a list - a few doors, some cabinet adjustments - and we work through everything in one visit.
