Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Walton-on-Thames, with less cutting and fewer return visits. Every doorset we fit in Walton-on-Thames is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.
How is a doorset installed?
The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.
What you get:
- Certificate references and photo record per opening
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
