Internal Door Replacement
compatible internal door leaves in existing sound openings
Common situations
Show which side carries the hinges and how the door swings into the room. Nearby furniture, another door or a light switch can affect practical use. Replacing the leaf does not automatically include reversing the opening direction or moving the stop.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A nominal door size is only a starting point. Measure the existing leaf and show the clear opening at several points. Differences can affect the available margins, so ordering a replacement before checking the frame may leave too little material for a suitable 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.

Cocoroc property context
For Cocoroc 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 Cocoroc 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.
Planning the work
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.
