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 latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally or the door closes poorly despite an otherwise sound visible opening. Causes: loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement or local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect.
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.
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.

Common situations
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.
Identify an authorised person who can remain available and explain any other access route. Keep pets and belongings away from the opening. Agree the handling and storage of the old leaf so a temporary opening does not create an unmanaged access problem.
A heavier replacement can demand different support from the original door. Identify the proposed material and weight where available. Fixing condition and hinge compatibility must be reviewed before hanging; ordinary replacement does not authorise reinforcement or structural modification of the opening.
