What We Install / Repair

Handy Ivan helps with common interior door & hardware installation projects, including:
Door Handle & Privacy Lock Installation
Door handles and privacy locks are common upgrades for bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, rentals, and commercial interiors. Handy Ivan installs and replaces customer-supplied door hardware when the existing door, latch, bore, and hardware are compatible.
Hinges, Latches, Strike Plates & Door Alignment
Loose hinges, misaligned latches, worn strike plates, and minor door alignment issues can cause doors to stick, rattle, or fail to close properly. Handy Ivan helps with practical hardware adjustments and replacements when the door and frame condition allow.
Stripped Screw-Hole Repair for Door Hardware
Stripped screw holes are common around hinges, strike plates, handles, and closet hardware. Handy Ivan can repair many stripped screw-hole issues when the surrounding wood or door material is still suitable for repair.
