The quickest and most economical procedure for fitting Internal and external doors is listed below. If you request a fitter to follow a different procedure this may incur an extra charge:
Internal door fitting procedure:

Door leaves: All doors removed – door stops removed – new doors swung throughout property – locks and latches fitted – handles and escutcheons fitted – door stops fitted – planed edges sealed. Door-sets: all doors removed – door stops and architrave removed – frame removed (where applicable) – sub-frame fitted (where applicable) – door sets fitted – handles and escutcheons fitted – architraves fitted.
External fitting procedure: Once work has started on an external door it will need to be completed before starting on the next opening.
