A door that drags on the floor can make a normal entrance difficult to use. The cause may involve hinges, the frame, changes around the opening or the door itself. Cutting material from the bottom is not automatically the appropriate first response. The entrance should be inspected to understand why the door's position has changed.
Describe when the rubbing occurs. It may happen throughout the swing, near the closed position or only at certain times. Mention any recent flooring or construction work because the surrounding opening may have changed. A short video of ordinary operation can help show the symptom without requiring the customer to diagnose the hardware.
The proposed repair should address the cause and the resulting alignment. A door that is moved to clear the floor must still fit the frame and latch correctly. Ask whether the estimate covers related hardware or finishing work. A narrow adjustment may be sufficient in some cases, while damaged supporting components may require more attention.
770 Doors & Windows can inspect dragging doors at homes, apartment buildings and commercial properties. Send photos of the full door and its hinges along with your ZIP code. We review the entrance as a working assembly and explain the recommended repair before approval, rather than assuming that the visible contact point is the only issue.
