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.
the latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally. Hang the compatible replacement leaf, fit agreed ordinary hardware and check floor clearance, alignment and closing in the unchanged opening.
Signs: the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening or the latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally. Causes: local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect or normal wear in hinges, latches or compatible mechanical hardware.
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.
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.

Planning the work
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.
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.
Hang the compatible replacement leaf, fit agreed ordinary hardware and check floor clearance, alignment and closing in the unchanged opening. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
