Install Door

Installing a door is one of those jobs where the difference between average and excellent shows every single day. A frame a few millimetres out of plumb leads to a door that drifts open on its own, leaves uneven gaps or refuses to latch. Hanging it right the first time saves years of small frustrations.

This service covers fitting doors into new or prepared openings: a new build or extension in Lakatamia, a renovated apartment where walls have moved, a new pantry or utility room, or an entrance being finished from a bare opening. If you want to swap out a door that is already in place, the Change Door service is the better match.

• Utility and service doors: doors to storerooms, roof access, laundry rooms and garages.
• Pre-hung door sets: doors supplied ready-fitted in their frames for faster installation.

Getting the Details Right

A professional installation covers far more than the door leaf. The installer checks the opening, fixes the frame plumb and level, packs and secures it to the wall, hangs the door on the right number of hinges for its weight and fits the latch, lock and handles. Architraves, stops and seals finish the job neatly.

• Finished floor level: ideally fit doors after tiles or wood flooring are laid, so the gap underneath is correct.
• Swing direction: decide which way each door opens and where the hinges go before ordering.
• Airflow: a small gap under internal doors helps cooled air move between rooms served by split-unit air conditioning.
• Exterior sealing: entrance doors need weather seals and a threshold that keep out wind-driven rain and dust.

Prices depend on the door type and weight, whether a frame is included, the condition of the opening, any wall adjustments, the ironmongery and finishing such as painting or varnishing. Telling pros whether you are supplying the door or want them to source it, and whether the opening is already plastered, helps them quote accurately.
