Hang new door

Looking to have a new  door hung? Welcome to The Handy Lot.

Whether you're considering updating some internal doors or need to replace a drafty front door with a new one, our team of highly experienced Coventry carpenters can lend a helping hand. Replacing an old front door, which may be allowing cold air in and warm air out, can help save energy during the winter months and keep your home warm when it’s most needed (the same can happen with letterboxes and windows if they are not properly insulated!). Contact our friendly team to fit a new door for you by giving us a call on 07827662220 or email us.

Maybe you simply want to replace some worn-out interior doors and give your home a refresh or want to give your entrance a different look with a new bespoke door – no job is too big nor too small for our team! Firstly, you’ll have to figure out the style of door you want for your home as there are so many designs, colors, and finishes available. From timber doors and panelled doors, which are the most common types, to ledged doors, flush doors, glass doors, and pocket doors.

Depending on the type and style of door you choose, it is also important to choose the perfect door furniture. If it is an interior door, the choice is easier, as you only have to choose the closing/opening mechanism and the locking mechanism, if necessary. However, if it is an exterior door, there are other types of door furniture and hardware to think about – for example, do you want a door knocker? Maybe a peephole? Numerals or letters? Centre door knob? If these are too many questions, don’t worry, sometimes simplicity is best.

It is useful to know whether we are hanging an internal or external door. External doors do take slightly longer to hang, primarily due to their weight. When purchasing the door, ensure that it is close in measurements to the existing door frame (no more than 20mm bigger than existing frame). If we have to take more than this off the door to hang it, we would weaken it drastically. Our carpenters in Coventry are experts at many other services you might require, including repairing cupboard doors, fitting sash windows, building shelves, and fitting wooden flooring.
