What Is Door Inspection?
The doors inspection is an engineering visit after interior and exterior doors are installed, where our engineers check the installation of the frame, leaf, hinges and locks, as well as opening, closing and finish.
The inspection matters because door defects appear after you move in: a door that scrapes the floor or won't close, hinges that sag over time, or a leaning frame that stands out in the wall. Fixing them after handover means removing and reinstalling.
Handover of Doors
We inspect the doors once at handover, after installation.
