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 latch, handle, hinge or ordinary running hardware no longer lines up or operates normally or the door sags, rubs, sticks or has uneven gaps around the opening. Causes: normal wear in hinges, latches or compatible mechanical hardware or loose fixings, minor alignment drift or ordinary timber movement.
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.
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.
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.
