Hanging doors — Carpenter and joiner
State which doors need fitting, whether the existing frames remain and who supplies the leaves and hardware. Include photographs of the opening and any rating labels; a sticking door, a replacement leaf and a complete performance-rated assembly are different jobs.
Service scope
Fitting or replacing a door leaf within a suitable frame, with compatible hinges, closing hardware and an agreed finish. Ordinary internal doors are distinct from fire, smoke, security or other performance-rated assemblies, whose parts and installation cannot be treated as interchangeable.
What is normally included
- Fitting ordinary internal door leaves
- Adjustment of hinges and latching
- Specified door hardware installation
What is not included
- Unverified alteration of a fire or smoke door assembly
- Major opening reconstruction within a leaf-fitting quote
Typical tasks
- Survey the existing opening and frame
- Confirm leaf and hardware compatibility
- Agree fitting and finish requirements
- Fit the specified door assembly within scope
- Check opening, latching and user operation
What to include in your brief
- Door quantities and locations
- Existing frame photographs
- Leaf size and material details
- Hardware and supply arrangements
- Any performance-rating requirements
Choosing the right professional
Compare the complete fitting scope, including hinges, latches, handles and finishing. For a rated door, use a provider who follows the specific assembly evidence and manufacturer instructions rather than treating leaf trimming or replacement hardware as routine.
Important considerations
- An unsuitable frame can prevent a new leaf from functioning correctly
- Unverified component changes can undermine a rated door's performance
