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.
Arrange protection of cut edges and any agreed painting. Check the door again after finishes have cured without forcing the latch. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
