Door fitting
New internal doors lift the feel of a home, and a new front door improves both security and energy efficiency. The carpenter measures, adjusts the frame and hangs the door with the right seals and threshold. Tell us how many doors there are and whether the frames are being replaced.
Frequently asked questions
Does the frame need to be replaced too?
Not always — a standard door can often be hung in the existing frame. Where frames are out of true or sizes have changed, a full replacement gives a better result.
What should I consider when choosing a front door?
Look at the security rating, the insulation value for energy efficiency, and that the lock meets your home insurer's requirements. Ask the carpenter to recommend options that balance security and looks.
How long does door fitting take?
An internal door in an existing frame takes about an hour, while a full front door with a new frame is usually around half a day. Tell us how many doors so the quote reflects the time involved.
