Professional internal door hanging - your door trimmed to fit, hinges recessed, hung in your existing frame. Opens, closes, and latches properly every time.
Doors That Work Properly
Hanging a door looks simple - but getting it to fit perfectly in the frame, with even gaps, proper hinge recesses, and a latch that catches first time takes skill. A well-hung door is barely noticed. A badly-hung one annoys you every single day.
🚪 Small margins matter. The difference between a door that works and one that sticks is a couple of millimetres.

| ✅ Hung Right | ❌ Common Problems |

Good to Know
> 📏 **Frames are rarely square** - expecting a rectangular door to fit a parallelogram frame requires skill. I fit the door to the frame as it actually is, not how it should be. **Fire doors:** - Must maintain fire rating - Specific gap requirements - Intumescent strips needed - Certification matters **Multiple doors:** - Better rate per door - Consistent results - One visit, whole house - Furniture matching advised
Frequently Asked Questions about Internal door hanging in Tiverton
I've bought a door - can you hang it?
Yes. Bring your door and I'll fit it to your existing frame. Most doors need trimming - they come oversized to allow for different frame sizes.
What about the hinges and handle?
I can reuse existing hardware if it's in good condition, or fit new that you provide. Hinge recesses will be cut in the new door.
My door frame isn't square - is that a problem?
Older houses often have frames that have moved over time. I'll fit the door to the frame as it is now, with consistent gaps. It will close properly even if the frame isn't perfect.
How long does it take?
Typically 1-1.5 hours per door. Includes measuring, trimming, hinge recessing, hanging, and fitting hardware.
