Gilbert · Door Installation
Door installation in Gilbert by an owner-operated finish carpenter.
Gilbert is full of family homes and planned communities where interior door and hardware upgrades make a real difference. Retro Fit Installation LLC installs interior, solid-core, and front doors as finish carpentry, so the slab, jamb, hardware, and casing line up room to room and hold up to daily family use.
What Gets Installed
Door installation for Gilbert homes and upgrades.
From a single front door to a whole-house interior package, each door is treated as finish work — measured to the opening, set true, and tied cleanly into the surrounding casing and hardware.
Solid-core & single-panel
Heavier solid-core and single-panel slabs are set with proper hinge backing and screw purchase so they hang true and don't sag over time.
Front & exterior doors
Entry and front doors are fit for plumb, even reveals, weather-seal contact, and a latch and deadbolt that engage cleanly against Gilbert sun and monsoon exposure.
Prehung & slab conditions
Prehung units are shimmed square in the rough opening; slabs into existing jambs get hinge and bore prep, mortising, and edge easing to fit.
Closet & bypass doors
Bypass, bifold, and closet openings get track layout, guide alignment, and panel adjustment so they run smooth and sit flush.
Casing, jamb & hardware
Jamb detailing, straight casing, hinges, levers, locksets, stops, and pulls installed with tight miters and consistent layout.
Done Right
What a proper door install actually includes.
The difference between a door that was hung and a door that was installed well shows up in the details — the parts you feel every day without naming them.
Even reveal margins
Consistent gaps down the hinge side, latch side, and head so the door reads straight and closes without rubbing.
Plumb, level, square jamb
The jamb is shimmed and fastened plumb and level so the slab holds its position instead of drifting open or swinging shut.
Hinge & strike alignment
Hinges mortised to depth and strikes set so the latch catches on the first try and the door sits flush to the stop.
Protected finishes
Floors, casing, and adjacent surfaces are covered before cutting or fitting, so new finishes stay clean through the install.
Smooth swing & latch
The door is cycled and dialed in so it swings freely, holds where you leave it, and latches and locks without force.
Clean casing tie-in
Casing and trim are returned to the jamb with tight joints so the finished opening looks intentional, not patched.
Local to Gilbert
Family-home upgrades, done clean and built to last.
Most Gilbert door work is turning builder-grade interiors into something that feels finished — swapping hollow-core slabs for solid-core doors, upgrading hardware, and tightening up openings that get used hard by a busy household. The details are matched across the whole home so it reads intentional, and every install is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Clean interior door swaps
Replacing tired hollow-core slabs with solid-core or panel doors, reusing the opening where it makes sense and re-boring or mortising as needed so the new door swings true and latches on the first try.
Whole-home interior packages
Upgrading every interior door at once is set with consistent reveals, matched hardware height, and coordinated casing so the whole Gilbert house reads the same room to room, not door by door.
Base & trim coordination
Door casing is tied cleanly into existing or new baseboard and trim with tight miters, so the finished openings line up with the rest of the room’s carpentry instead of looking like a separate job.
How It Works
A straightforward door installation process.
Every install follows the same order so the opening is right before the door goes in and your finishes stay protected throughout.
1 · Review the opening
The rough opening or existing jamb is measured and checked for square, plumb, and size against the door being installed.
2 · Confirm door & swing
Door type, hardware, hinge side, and swing direction are confirmed so the finished door works the way the room needs.
3 · Protect finishes
Floors, casing, and nearby surfaces are covered before any cutting, mortising, or fitting begins.
4 · Install & adjust
The jamb is set plumb and level, the slab hung, hinges and strikes aligned, and casing and hardware fit for even reveals.
5 · Final operation check
The door is cycled and the swing, latch, lock, and margins are verified before the job is called done.

Retrofit has done various projects in my condo from installing new doors to replacing and custom fitting vanities… their professionalism is unmatched and the job always exceeds expectations. Pricing is fair and they are always transparent.

Devin went above and beyond with the work he did on my front door. He didn’t rush through the job and you could tell he takes pride in his work. I couldn’t believe it was the same door. Highly recommend him!

FAQ
Door installation in Gilbert — common questions.
How much does door installation cost in Gilbert?
Door installation is quoted after reviewing the opening, the door type, the hardware, and how many doors are involved. A single interior slab is a smaller job than a full interior door package or a front-door installation with casing and hardware. Send photos and the door details through the contact form and Devin follows up with an estimate.
Do you install front and exterior doors in Gilbert?
Yes. Front and entry doors are set plumb and level with even reveals, proper weather-seal contact, threshold fit, and a latch and deadbolt that engage cleanly, which matters in Gilbert heat and monsoon exposure. Both prehung units and slabs into existing jambs are handled.
Can you install a whole-house interior door package in Gilbert?
Yes. Upgrading every interior door in a Gilbert home is common work. The doors are installed with consistent reveals, matched hardware height, and coordinated casing so the whole house reads the same room to room, not door by door.
Can you install a door I already purchased?
Yes. Customer-provided slabs and prehung units are welcome. Bring the door and it is fit, set, and adjusted to the opening so the swing, latch, and reveals come out clean. If you have not bought yet, the estimate is a good time to confirm sizing, swing direction, and hardware.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. Retro Fit Installation LLC is a licensed Arizona finish carpenter, AZ ROC R-60 #346885, bonded and insured. Work is owner-performed by Devin Nelson, so the person you talk to is the person doing the install, and every install is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.
