That includes taking out the old door and frame, fitting the new one level and square, sealing it, and making good around it. ### Who it is for Homeowners who want a stronger, smarter entrance, a back door that no longer sticks or leaks, or a door that locks with confidence. It is also for anyone fed up of a door that has dropped, swollen or drags on the floor. ### When it is needed When a door no longer closes cleanly, when the frame is damaged, when draughts come round the edges, when the lock is unreliable, or when the door simply lets the house down. If the issue is just a lock or handle, a repair may be enough. ### Why professional fitting matters A door is used dozens of times a day. If the frame is not fitted square, the door drops, the lock stops lining up and the seals wear unevenly. Careful fitting is what keeps a door working smoothly for years. The cost of waiting ## What Happens If You Leave It - A door that does not lock reliably is a security risk and can cause problems if you need to claim on home insurance. - Draughts around the edges pull warm air out of the hallway and make the whole ground floor feel colder. - Water getting past a worn threshold or seal can damage flooring and the wall around the frame. - Forcing a sticking door puts strain on the hinges and lock until something breaks and the door will not open or shut at all. ### Common mistakes to avoid - Ignoring a door that needs lifting or slamming to lock until the mechanism fails. - Choosing a door on looks alone without thinking about how the frame is fitted. - Accepting a vague quote that does not say exactly what is included. - Trying a DIY adjustment that makes the problem worse or affects guarantees.

In detail ## Everything To Know About Composite Door Installation ### Composite doors A composite door is built from several materials bonded together, typically a solid or reinforced core with a tough outer skin. The aim is a door that feels heavy and solid, resists knocks and weather, and keeps its appearance. Composite doors are a popular choice for front entrances because of their solid feel and the range of styles and finishes available. ### uPVC doors uPVC doors use the same family of material as uPVC windows. They are practical, need very little maintenance and are often used for back and side doors, though they are fitted at the front of many homes too. During the survey we can talk through composite and uPVC side by side so you can choose what suits your home and budget. ### Front doors and back doors A front door has to look right and feel secure. A back door often takes more weather and more daily traffic, especially if it leads to a garden. Both need a frame that is fitted properly and a lock that lines up every time. We fit both, and the process is the same: survey, fixed price, fitting, then a full check with you before we leave. ### Locks, handles and hardware Most modern doors use a multi-point locking system, where lifting the handle engages several locking points along the edge of the door. That only works smoothly when the door sits correctly in the frame. Hardware such as hinges, locks and handles is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If a lock or handle on an existing door is the only problem, see our window and door repairs page. ### Why doors drop and stick Over time, doors can drop on their hinges, frames can move, and seals can wear. The result is a door that catches, needs lifting to lock or lets in draughts. Sometimes an adjustment or repair is enough. Sometimes the frame itself is the problem and a new door is the sensible fix. At the survey we will tell you honestly which applies. ## Your Guarantee - Windows, window frames and door frames carry a 10-year manufacturer guarantee. - Replacement hardware such as hinges, locks and handles carries a 12-month manufacturer guarantee.
