Internal Door Replacement
compatible internal door leaves in existing sound openings
Kurunjang property context
Kurunjang sits within the existing Greater Melbourne coverage. For internal door replacement, measurements, product information and access details are more useful than assumptions about the suburb's buildings. Check the supplied leaf against the opening, hinge positions and product trimming allowance before removing the old door. For a Kurunjang 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.

FAQ
Hang the compatible replacement leaf, fit agreed ordinary hardware and check floor clearance, alignment and closing in the unchanged opening.

Send both sides of the door, the frame, hinges and latch, plus leaf width, height and thickness. Include a wide view as well as close details, keeping product labels readable. Do not dismantle a difficult or unsafe item just to take photographs; explain the access limitation instead.

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.
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.
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.
