Dragging on the floor and uneven gaps
Drag marks on the finish and crooked gaps are typical complaints. These defects are expensive to correct later.
Interior doors & frames are set: check function and junctions
Interior doors are moving parts: they drag on the floor, stick in the lock or hang crooked in the frame. Right after installation, function and visible damage can still be clearly attributed to the installers.
The most common expensive defects on interior doors and frames
Sticking locks and ironmongery
The door does not close cleanly, the lock does not catch or the door handle sits crooked. Check and photograph the function now.
Open or untidy connection joints at the frame
Gaps and waves at the wall junction stand out immediately at handover. Look out for neat execution here.
Scratches and knocks on leaf and frame
Trades often blame such damage on each other later. Secure the condition with photos right after installation.
What you should document and check now on interior doors and frames
Open, close and latch the door
Open and close every door completely. Check whether it drags, sticks or latches uncleanly.
Photo: floor clearance and joints
Photograph the transition to the floor and the joints at the wall close up to capture scratches or defects.
Door handle, hinges and lock
Check if the door handle wobbles or parts stick. Take detailed photos of the hinges and the lock area.
Let go of the door halfway open
Let go of the door when halfway open. If it closes or opens on its own, the frame is crooked — take a video or photo of this.
