Fraser Rise property context
Fraser Rise sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage.

Service overview
An ordinary hardware or alignment problem may be repairable without a new leaf. If replacement is appropriate, first confirm that the proposed external door suits the sound existing opening and exposure; a new leaf cannot remedy underlying frame or threshold defects.
external door replacement can be appropriate when the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening. Review exposure, leaf weight and the existing frame before accepting a straightforward leaf replacement; a whole doorway system is a different task.
Signs: the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening or the door closes poorly despite an otherwise sound visible opening. Causes: normal wear in hinges, latches or compatible mechanical hardware or local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect.
Handles and an ordinary mechanical lockset may be reusable if dimensions and condition are suitable. Send model details and edge photographs. Key cutting, rekeying, emergency entry and electrical access systems are separate specialist services, not implied additions to a door-leaf quote.
Existing seals need space to contact the leaf without preventing closure. Show damaged or missing strips separately in the enquiry. A leaf replacement can include checking the agreed fit against compatible existing seals, but it is not certification of a complete weather-sealing system.
Common situations
The proposed leaf must suit external use and the existing opening. Send its product sheet, not just a catalogue photograph. This service covers ordinary non-rated solid leaves; glazing systems, fire-rated assemblies and specialised security products need separate appropriate providers.
Photograph the bottom clearance and threshold from inside and outside. An ordinary leaf fit retains the existing threshold arrangement. Changing drainage, waterproofing or the building opening is outside this task and should not be hidden inside a request to shorten the door.
Show how the doorway is exposed to weather and provide the product’s installation conditions. Exposure can affect whether the selected leaf is suitable. Replacing a leaf cannot correct a defective wall envelope, and no weatherproofing performance should be inferred from a photo quote.
