What fails first
A door from a flat onto a close is a fire-door set. Landings are small. Villa doors, where they appear, are heavier internal leaves.
Getting the leaf there
The leaf is carried up the close. It will not turn flat on a half-landing.
What the quote is based on
In Glasgow the price moves with this housing: a door from a flat onto a close is a fire-door set. Landings are small. Villa doors, where they appear, are heavier internal leaves. Say how many doors, whether you have bought them, and whether the frame is rotten.
Questions in Glasgow
Tenement flats and some villas. 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.
Tenement flats and some villas. Where that door opens onto a common stair, it has to be a fire-door set: leaf, frame, intumescent seals, hinges and closer together. A normal internal door in the old lining is not a fire door, and a certified leaf is not trimmed past the maker’s limit.

We hang and replace doors and frames. We do not fit windows, up-and-over garage doors, electric gates, or a lintel. A lock-only emergency on a sound door is locksmith work. In Glasgow the job we do take is this one: tenement flats and some villas.
