Door fitting in Sheffield
Yes. We hang doors in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Sheffield hillside terraces lean with the slope, so the frame is rarely plumb. The door is hung to the opening, and the keep is moved to the latch rather than the leaf being forced. Send the door and whether the frame stays on the quote form or WhatsApp.

The opening in Sheffield

What fails on these doors
The door is hung to the opening, and the keep is moved to the latch rather than the leaf being forced. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
