5 ways to assess the quality of entrance door installation

The most common of them, present in absolutely every home, are entrance doors – the main barrier for ill-wishers on the way to private territory.

Today, the market offers many product options with varying degrees of security – from budget metal and wooden to well-reinforced armored ones. In addition to manufacturing such entrance doors, manufacturing companies often include in their cost the dismantling of old structures and installation of new ones.

In most cases, it is logical and advantageous to entrust the dismantling of old structures, as well as all operations for installing new ones, to experienced professionals – for example, specialists from the Cortez door store, who are familiar with all the nuances of this process. However, it is also important to have minimal knowledge that will allow you to assess the quality of their work. This will help avoid deception by unscrupulous contractors during dismantling and installation of products, as well as get exactly the goods and services that were ordered for your money.

Contrary to popular opinion, to check the main functionality and working condition of newly installed entrance doors, you do not need to study tons of literature beforehand. When the invited craftsmen from the Cortez door store arrive at your address, and also when they finish their work on dismantling old products and installing new ones, you will need to perform the following simple actions:

When the entrance doors are unloaded from the vehicle (even before installation begins), you need to inspect them externally. Make sure there are no scratches on the door leaf and door frame. Check all points of the contract concluded with the manufacturing company, and also make sure that the installed fittings correspond to those you ordered at the Cortez door store.

After the door installation is completed, inspect it externally again for physical damage or any installation flaws (paint chips, loose fastening, etc.).

Check the correctness of the door installation by level. To do this, simply open the door leaf at 20, 45, and 90 degrees relative to its opening. Properly installed products will not move under their own weight in this position.

Make sure that no extraneous sounds are heard when opening/closing the doors, in particular, squeaking of hinges.

Check the operation of the fittings – locks and handles should turn freely both when open and when closed.
