What fails first
Salt on hinges and letterplates, and wind that racks a tall glazed door so the lock misses.
Getting the leaf there
Seafront doors are swapped from the pavement side. Flats need the leaf carried if the lift is short.

Questions in Dorset
Victorian villas, flats and seafront terraces. Labour to hang an internal door in a frame that stays is typically £70–£150, and supply and fit of a standard internal door is often £150–£400. An entrance door or an FD30 set costs more because of the lock, seals and closer. The written quote uses this opening, not a flat call-out fee.
Victorian villas, flats and seafront terraces. Salt and wind-driven rain then attack the hinges, letterplate and threshold seal before the slab looks worn. The visit includes that ironmongery and the cill, not only a new leaf in a rotten frame.
