Internal Door Replacement
compatible internal door leaves in existing sound openings
Clonbinane property context
For Clonbinane enquiries, describe the available workspace as well as the requested internal door replacement. Check the supplied leaf against the opening, hinge positions and product trimming allowance before removing the old door. Include the best access contact and explain any restrictions affecting the work area. A useful Clonbinane enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Service overview
A sound leaf that only rubs or latches poorly may suit adjustment or hardware repair instead. Replacement is considered for an unsuitable or damaged leaf after checking that the existing opening can accept the proposed door.
Existing hinge recesses and screw positions need checking against the replacement leaf. Reusing a hinge depends on its condition and suitability for the new door. Damaged screw holes or a heavier leaf may change the agreed hardware work without making structural changes appropriate.
Check the swing across the actual floor, including rugs and any planned flooring change. The aim is a workable clearance with an aligned leaf. Removing excessive material to compensate for an unsuitable opening is not a substitute for checking compatibility first.
A hollow-core or factory-finished leaf may allow only limited edge trimming. Share the exact product specification before purchase. A door that needs more material removed than its instructions permit should be exchanged for a suitable product rather than improvised to fit.
Hang the compatible replacement leaf, fit agreed ordinary hardware and check floor clearance, alignment and closing in the unchanged opening. Scope limits: Ordinary compatible internal leaf replacement only. No structural opening changes, fire or smoke-rated doors, certification, locksmith services or powered security integration.
Common situations
Clear the swing and provide somewhere safe for the removed door. Agree whether disposal is required before the visit. If the existing frame is damaged or movement is apparent, the replacement plan needs review rather than using a new leaf to conceal the problem.
A replacement leaf may arrive unfinished, primed or factory coated. Cutting and fitting can leave edges needing the product-specified protection. Agree who supplies the finish and whether painting is included; hanging a door alone should not be mistaken for a complete decoration package.
Factory cut-outs can restrict which handle or latch will fit. Show the hardware from both sides and the latch edge. Ordinary compatible hardware transfer can be considered, but existing holes should not be assumed to match a different product simply because both are internal doors.
How it works

Check the supplied leaf against the opening, hinge positions and product trimming allowance before removing the old door.
Hang the compatible replacement leaf, fit agreed ordinary hardware and check floor clearance, alignment and closing in the unchanged opening.
Confirm the Clonbinane address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Arrange protection of cut edges and any agreed painting. Check the door again after finishes have cured without forcing the latch.
Planning the work
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.
Check the supplied leaf against the opening, hinge positions and product trimming allowance before removing the old door. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
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.
Send both sides of the door, the frame, hinges and latch, plus leaf width, height and thickness. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
FAQ
Send both sides of the door, the frame, hinges and latch, plus leaf width, height and thickness. Keep the immediate work area accessible and remove ordinary belongings where safe. Discuss heavy furniture, fragile items and access restrictions before the appointment so the required preparation is clear.

Arrange protection of cut edges and any agreed painting. Check the door again after finishes have cured without forcing the latch. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.

Check the supplied leaf against the opening, hinge positions and product trimming allowance before removing the old door. Provide any available product information, previous repair history or material details.
