We provide timber door hanging services throughout:
Timber door hanging is the professional installation of wooden doors into a door frame, including correct placement, alignment, trimming and fitting of hinges, latches and door furniture. While hanging a door might seem simple, accurate measurement and adjustment are essential to prevent sticking, misalignment, or uneven fitting — especially in older or irregular frames. Getting it right ensures the door operates smoothly and looks great.
We fit and hang a wide range of timber doors, including:
• Internal timber doors — oak, pine, hardwood, softwood
• External timber doors — solid timber front and back doors
• Glazed timber doors — with bespoke or standard glass panels
• Bespoke timber doors — made-to-measure doors matched to your design
• Panelled, modern and traditional door styles
Every door type benefits from expert hanging to ensure it sits plumb, closes with ease and stands up to daily use.
Door hanging is a skilled carpentry task. Even small inaccuracies can lead to doors that:
• Stick or rub on the frame
• Don’t close properly
• Sit unevenly in the opening
• Cause draughts or heat loss
We take precise measurements, check frame squareness, trim doors as needed and fit patented hinges and latches so every door operates smoothly and reliably. Our attention to detail ensures a professional finish that enhances your space and lasts years.
Our comprehensive timber door hanging service typically includes:
• Accurate survey and measurement of door openings
• Trimming and planing of doors for perfect fit
• Hanging doors with quality hinges and fixings
• Fitting of latches, handles and locks (supplied by you or us)
• Adjusting frame, architrave and seals where needed
• Ensuring smooth operation and correct closure
• Removal and disposal of old doors if requested
We can also advise on suitable door choices, finishes and timber types to suit your property and budget.
• Homeowners and private clients
• Landlords and letting agents
• Property developers and renovators
• Commercial premises needing internal timber doors
Whether you’re updating a single door or fitting multiple doors across a property, we cater to projects of all sizes.
