Internal Door Replacement

Nar Nar Goon property context
Nar Nar Goon 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 Nar Nar Goon 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.
Common situations
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
FAQ
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.
