Doors Dublin focuses on practical door decisions: what can be repaired, what should be replaced, what information is useful, and how to plan the work clearly.
Check alignment
Look at the gap on the hinge side and lock side.
Check whether the latch lines up with the strike plate.
Make sure the handle and latch move freely.
Check contact points
Paint, seals, flooring or frame movement can stop the leaf reaching its correct position.
External doors also need the threshold and weather seals checked.
Repair options
Hinge adjustment, latch alignment, strike-plate adjustment, clearance work or frame work may solve the problem without a complete replacement.
When to ask Doors Dublin
If you are not sure whether the door needs repair, adjustment, refinishing or replacement, send photos and a short description. We can review the door-related details, explain practical options and arrange supply, fitting, replacement or other agreed door work in Dublin.
For regulated or specialist work, requirements can depend on the specific door, property and documentation. Where specialist certification is required, that should be confirmed before work is agreed.
