Doors fitted for movement, clearance and use
The opening is checked first
We assess dimensions, frame condition and floor level before trimming.
Hardware meets in the right place
Hinges and latches are positioned for smooth movement and engagement.
Nearby trim gets proper attention
Linings and architraves can be addressed where the opening needs more work.
Fit doors that open, close and latch properly
An internal door should move smoothly, sit with consistent gaps and meet the latch without needing a shoulder. We measure the opening, assess the frame and account for floor coverings before trimming and hanging the door. Swing direction and room circulation also matter, especially in tighter halls or smaller rooms.
Panelled, glazed and flush doors each bring different practical and visual choices. Hinges, handles, latches and privacy hardware must suit the door and intended room. We position those parts carefully, then check clearance and movement after hanging. Where ventilation gaps are needed, they must be considered alongside the floor finish rather than discovered when the new carpet arrives.
Check the frame as well as the door
Fitting into an existing frame is not always simply a matter of replacing one door leaf with another. The opening may be twisted, worn or the wrong size, and the surrounding lining or architrave may also need attention. We assess those conditions before deciding how the fitting should proceed.
Where a new opening has been formed, we can connect the door fitting with timber stud partition and trim work. Final checks cover alignment, latch engagement and clearance around the floor and frame. We also look at how the door meets the adjacent architrave, because a smoothly closing door still deserves a neat edge when it is standing open.
Frequently asked questions
Can we fit a door into an existing frame?
Yes, when the frame condition and dimensions are suitable. We inspect the opening first because twists, damage or previous alterations may affect the trimming, clearances and final alignment.
Which way should an internal door swing?
The swing should support safe access and sensible movement through the room. We consider nearby walls, furniture, switches and other doors before confirming hinge position and opening direction.
Can the lining and architrave be replaced too?
They can be included where the opening requires more than a new door leaf. The scope depends on the existing frame, wall and trim, so photographs and dimensions help clarify the likely work.
