Installation of doors

Door Installation You Can Trust

A well installed door should feel solid, close smoothly, and provide the privacy and security you expect. If a door sticks, scrapes the floor, rattles in the frame, or lets in drafts, it usually comes down to alignment, hardware, or an uneven opening. We provide professional door installation for homes and businesses, with careful measuring, clean finishing, and attention to the small details that make a big difference day to day.

Whether you are replacing a worn interior door, upgrading to a stronger front entry, or adding a new door during a renovation, we help you choose the right fit and install it correctly. If your project also includes related home tasks, our furniture assembly and repair services can be arranged at the same visit for a smoother, one stop appointment.

What We Install

Doors come in many styles and each one has its own requirements for hinges, clearances, seals, and locks. We work with common residential and light commercial door types and install them to suit the opening, usage, and finish you want.

Interior doors

• Hinged doors for bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, and utility rooms
• Replacement of damaged slabs, frames, or trim where possible
• Hardware fitting including handles, latches, and privacy sets

Exterior and entry doors

• Front and back doors with improved security and weather resistance
• Threshold and seal setup to reduce drafts and water ingress
• Lock and strike alignment for reliable closing and stronger latch engagement

Sliding and specialty doors

• Basic sliding door setup where appropriate for the opening
• Adjustments for smooth travel, correct reveal, and stable closing
• Repairs or replacement advice if existing tracks or rollers are worn

If you are planning a larger refresh that includes storage, we can coordinate door work alongside wardrobe assembly or other interior setup to reduce disruption and keep the project moving.

Our Installation Process

Good door installation starts before the first screw goes in. We focus on preparation, accurate setting out, and a clean finish so the door works properly and looks right in the space.

1. Assessment and measurement We confirm opening size, hinge side, swing direction, floor level, and any frame movement that could affect clearances.
2. Preparation We protect nearby surfaces, remove the old door if needed, and check the frame for twist or damage. Minor corrections can often be made during fitting.
3. Hanging and alignment We set hinges, hang the door, and adjust for consistent gaps, smooth swing, and quiet closing.
4. Hardware installation We fit handles, latches, locks, and strikes. The latch should engage cleanly without forcing the door.
5. Finishing touches We check thresholds, seals, and trim alignment, then test operation repeatedly to ensure reliable performance.

This method reduces common problems like binding at the top corner, uneven gaps, and latches that only catch if you lift or push the door.

Repairs, Adjustments, and Upgrades

Not every door issue requires a full replacement. If your door is basically sound, we can often restore smooth operation with targeted adjustments or hardware updates.

• Door alignment and hinge tuning Fix sagging, rubbing, or a door that swings open by itself due to an uneven frame or hinge wear.
• Latch and strike correction Reposition strikes, adjust keepers, and set the latch depth for easy closing.
• Handle and lock replacement Upgrade worn hardware for better security and everyday comfort.
• Draft reduction Improve sealing at the threshold and around the frame where gaps allow cold air in.
• Frame and trim care Address minor frame movement, loose fixings, or trim that no longer sits flush.

If the job extends into other household fixes, we can combine it with furniture fixing services such as tightening hinges, correcting misalignment, or stabilizing units that were affected by a renovation.

What to Prepare Before Your Appointment

A little preparation helps the installation go faster and keeps your home tidy. Before we arrive, please clear the area around the door on both sides and remove fragile items nearby. If you have already purchased the door and hardware, keep them together in the room and confirm whether the door is pre hung or a slab only. If you are not sure what you have, we can check it on site and advise the best installation approach.

We aim to leave the workspace clean and the door operating smoothly, with practical guidance on use and basic care. When you are ready to book, we will confirm the door type, opening details, and any extra hardware so everything is planned properly from the start.
