Advise on fitting an exterior or interior Door:
How To Fit A Wooden Door:

Upon receiving your new wooden door whether internal or external, please check if in good condition.
The door should then be treated prior to hanging as per instructions on our Technical data section. The doors should then be offered up to your opening and trimmed to size if necessary, leaving a 3mm gap all the way round the between the door and frame.
It is recommended to use 2 hinges with an internal door and 3 hinges with an external door. To fit the hinges on a new frame and door place 1 leaf of the hinge 150ml down from the top and 200ml up from the bottom and if using 3 hinges place the third in the middle of these two and using a knife mark round the leaf where you have pencil marked it.Then set your gauge to the thickness of the hinge leaf and mark between cut lines and proceed to cut outwith a tenon saw about 5mil apart and chop round the edge with a chisel take out wood ready for the hinge to sit into drill holes and scew tight. Repeat on frame if new or clean up if existing frame. Then rest the door on blocks of wood and offer up to opening and frame until level with hinge housing then fix the the hinges with only 2 screws at first to check how door fits and if needing to be trimmed at bottom and then re-hang and fit all screws.

Fitting Locks:

Two locks are two be fitted to an External Wooden Door, a nightlatch and a deadlock. If you fit these one a third of the way down and the other a third of the way up the door this will ensure better security of the door. The nightlatch can be fitted as per instructions and you will have to drill a 36mil hole in the door and drill from both sides so as not to break out the door. The dealock requires a mortice in the edge of the door, do not mortice out the door where you have a rail on the door as this will weaken the door. After choppin the mortice and housing in the face plate place lock on the side of door to mark key hole. Fit both locks and try the lock

Fitting a Letterplate:

Remove the door and lay flat mark out the letter plate and cut hole in door, seal the hole and also seal the top and bottom of the door whilst it is lying flat. Fit the letter plate and check operates correctly.
If fitting to a new frame wait for the door to dry before fitting draught-excluder

Maintaining your Wooden Door:

1. Please do not stand your door where it has recently been plastered as the moisture will get into the doors and make them warp or the veneer will lift
2. Please do not lay doors on a uneven floor as the doors will mould to the shape of the floor
3. Please do not stack doors in front of a radiator
4. Please do not leave doors out in the rain or expose to extreme sunlight

Patio Doors
Exterior Patio Doors can make an enormous difference to the feel of a room, allowing you to effectively extend the space available, and introducing far more airiness and light than a window.
Traditionally, external patio doors have usually been double doors opening out onto your patio, and these can be an attractive feature in themselves.
More recently however, the option of using bi- folding doors, or sliding doors as they are sometime known, can offer a larger entrance without taking up much space are very much in vogue. These sliding doors make an attractive and modern alternative to French Doors.
