Fitting checks in Wiltshire
Before the visit
- ✓ Measure head, middle and cill
- ✓ See if the frame is rotten or out of square
- ✓ Confirm fire door, entrance door or internal leaf
- ✓ Check stairs, lifts and where a van can stop
During the hang
- ✓ Protect the floor
- ✓ Pack the frame if it is being replaced
- ✓ Mortice hinges and set the latch or lock
- ✓ Keep an external opening closed the same day
After the hang
- ✓ Swing the door and move the keep
- ✓ Check seals on entrance and fire doors
- ✓ Clear shavings
- ✓ Tell you what not to paint or plane
What fails first
Cottage frames are out of square. Garrison stock is repetitive, so one measured opening often matches the next in the same block.
Getting the leaf there
Town terraces are a street carry. Garrison roads allow the van closer, subject to site rules on the day.
What the quote is based on
In Wiltshire the price moves with this housing: cottage frames are out of square. Garrison stock is repetitive, so one measured opening often matches the next in the same block. Say how many doors, whether you have bought them, and whether the frame is rotten.

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.
