Review where the leaf contacts, whether hinges are loose and whether ordinary adjustment is suitable before removing material. For a Park Orchards 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.

Use the door normally after the adjustment and report renewed rubbing rather than forcing the latch or trimming the leaf yourself. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
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.
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.
