Frequently Asked Questions About Door Fitting & Hanging
What types of doors can you fit and hang?
We can fit and hang all types of doors including internal doors (hollow core, solid core, panel doors), external doors (composite, wooden, UPVC), fire doors, bi-fold doors, and sliding doors. We work with standard and non-standard sizes, and can handle both new installations and replacements. Our experience covers everything from basic internal doors to heavy external security doors requiring precise fitting.
Can you fix doors that are sticking or not closing properly?
Yes, we specialize in fixing door problems including sticking doors, doors that won’t close properly, gaps around door frames, and alignment issues. Common solutions include planing doors to size, adjusting hinges, replacing worn hardware, and realigning door frames. We diagnose the root cause of the problem and provide lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes.
Do you install door frames as well as doors?
Absolutely. We provide complete door installation services including new door frame installation, frame repairs, and modifications to existing frames. This includes installing door linings, architraves, door stops, and ensuring frames are perfectly square and level. We can also modify existing frames to accommodate different door sizes or styles.
How long does it take to fit and hang a door?
The time depends on the complexity of the job. A straightforward internal door replacement typically takes 2-4 hours. New door installations with frame work might take a full day. External doors or doors requiring significant frame modifications can take longer. We provide realistic timeframes during our initial assessment and always aim to complete work efficiently while maintaining high quality standards.
Can you work with doors I’ve already purchased?
Yes, we’re happy to fit and hang doors that you’ve already purchased. We’ll assess the door and existing frame to determine what modifications may be needed, such as trimming to size, mortising for hinges and locks, or adjusting the frame. We can also advise if there are any compatibility issues and suggest solutions to ensure proper fit and operation.
Do you provide locks and handles, or should I supply them?
We can work either way. We can source and supply quality locks, handles, hinges, and other hardware, or we can install hardware that you’ve chosen and purchased. If you’re supplying hardware, we recommend discussing your choices with us first to ensure compatibility with your door and frame. We can advise on the best hardware for your specific door type and security requirements.
