Door Fitting

Internal Door Fitting Guide

Good door fitting is about more than hanging a door. Existing frames, flooring, hinges, handles, latches, and clearances all affect the finish.

What affects door fitting

Older frames are not always square, and new flooring can change the clearance. This is why each opening needs checking.

  • Door size and frame condition.
  • Hinge, latch, handle, and lock choice.
  • Flooring height and carpet clearance.

When doors can be adjusted

Sticking doors can often be planed, adjusted, or rehung, but the cause needs checking first.
