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 door closes poorly despite an otherwise sound visible opening. Causes: local damage to an accessible component rather than an assumed structural defect or normal wear in hinges, latches or compatible mechanical hardware.
Small marks on a sound door can suit preparation and recoating, while peeling layers or damaged material may need a different approach. Photos should show the whole leaf as well as individual chips so the overall condition is understood.
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.

Planning the work
Door material, coating adhesion and mechanical operation need review before a new finish is agreed. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Show both sides of the internal door, its edges, hardware and the current coating in good light. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Protect suitable hardware and adjacent finishes, prepare compatible surfaces and apply the agreed internal-door coating. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Follow the coating guidance before closing against stops or cleaning the finish. Paint does not correct a door that rubs or will not latch. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Common situations
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.
List whether the request covers one face, both faces or accessible edges. A door frame and surrounding architraves are separate surfaces. Defining those boundaries helps keep a small internal-door painting quote clear before preparation begins.
Timber, coated composite and previously painted surfaces do not always take the same preparation. Send product information where available. A coating choice should follow compatibility checks rather than assuming any household paint can be applied over the existing finish.
