🔧 DIY Tips
Doing it yourself? Here's the full scope:
🔧 What's involved
- Removing old door (easy)
- Removing old hinges (careful not to damage frame)
- Marking new door to frame (measure multiple times)
- Trimming new door (take off too much and it's ruined)
- Cutting hinge recesses (needs to be exact)
- Fitting hardware (holes in right places)
📐 Key consideration: This is several hours of work with multiple skills - trimming, chiseling, fitting. Each step needs to be right for the next to work. If in doubt, call someone.
⚠️ Common issues
- Old frame positions don't suit new door
- Trimming too much (door now too small)
- Hinge recesses wrong depth
- Latch and strike don't align
💡 Pro tip: If you're doing multiple doors, buy all the same type. Consistency looks better and you'll get faster at the process.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏠 Multiple doors look better matching - if replacing several doors, do them all in the same style. A hallway with mismatched doors looks like an ongoing project.
Choosing doors:
- Measure frame before buying
- Allow for trimming (doors come oversized)
- Match style to property age
- Consider glazed for dark hallways
Fire door replacement:
- Must maintain fire rating
- Certified doors required
- Specific fitting requirements
- Intumescent strips essential
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between replacement and just hanging?
Replacement includes removing the old door, disposing of it, and transferring or fitting new hardware. It's the complete job rather than just fitting a door you've already bought.
Do I need to buy the new door?
Yes - choose your door style, size, and type. I'll handle the rest. Or tell me what you want and I can source it.
Can you take the old door away?
I can take it if you want. Most old doors go to the tip unless they're good enough to donate.
Should I replace all doors at once?
For a consistent look, yes. Mixing old and new doors in the same hallway looks odd. But one at a time works if budget requires.
