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.
the latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally. Fit a suitable ordinary supplied leaf with agreed mechanical hardware and check closing, clearances and existing seal contact without altering the opening.
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: local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect or loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement.
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.
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.
Common situations
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.
An external opening cannot always remain exposed while fitting or finishing proceeds. Scheduling depends on safe conditions and product requirements. Discuss forecast-sensitive stages and the finish plan before the visit rather than assuming the opening can be left incomplete overnight.
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.
