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.
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.

Planning the work

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.

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: normal wear in hinges, latches or compatible mechanical hardware or local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect.
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.
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.
