the latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally. Protect suitable hardware and adjacent finishes, prepare compatible surfaces and apply the agreed internal-door coating.
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: loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement or local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect.
Identify any fire or smoke door and any uncertainty about the assembly. This service does not include certification, modification or specialist restoration. Exterior doors and hazardous coating removal also need separate review rather than being added to an internal-door painting scope.
Rubbing, loose hinges and latch problems should be identified before painting. Extra paint can make tight clearances worse. Suitable hardware repairs can be requested separately, but a new finish is not a substitute for correcting an underlying door movement issue.
The agreed service covers small internal-door painting jobs, compatible surface preparation and agreed finish. Exclusions: Fire/smoke door certification or modifications, exterior coating systems, hazardous paint stripping, door replacement.
