External Door Replacement
ordinary non-rated solid external door leaves in compatible existing openings
Wollert property context
For Wollert enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested external door replacement. Review exposure, leaf weight and the existing frame before accepting a straightforward leaf replacement; a whole doorway system is a different task. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. For a Wollert quote, describe each task separately and note height, parking, tenant access or preferred appointment windows. This gives the Owner enough context to assess the request without collecting unnecessary personal information.
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.
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.
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.
Planning the work
Photograph the complete opening, threshold, hinges, seals and both leaf faces; supply the replacement specification and dimensions. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
Follow the leaf maker’s edge-finishing and exposure instructions. Confirm the agreed closing arrangement before the opening is left unattended. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Fit a suitable ordinary supplied leaf with agreed mechanical hardware and check closing, clearances and existing seal contact without altering the opening. Scope limits: Ordinary non-rated solid leaf replacement only. No structural opening work, glazing systems, fire-door certification, building-envelope alterations or specialist security work.
FAQ
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.
Fit a suitable ordinary supplied leaf with agreed mechanical hardware and check closing, clearances and existing seal contact without altering the opening. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
Review exposure, leaf weight and the existing frame before accepting a straightforward leaf replacement; a whole doorway system is a different task. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details. A photograph supports an initial discussion but cannot confirm hidden condition, internal components or every fixing requirement.
Review exposure, leaf weight and the existing frame before accepting a straightforward leaf replacement; a whole doorway system is a different task. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
