Internal Door Installation
Internal Door Fitting Across Falkirk
Door fitting is one of the most common joinery jobs we do, and one of the most noticeable improvements you can make to a home. A full floor of new doors with matching architrave changes the feel of every room you walk into.
The difference between a joiner-hung door and a quick handyman job shows over time. A properly hung door is plumb in the frame, has even gaps all the way around, latches without being forced, and does not bind or scrape on the floor. In older Falkirk properties where nothing is square, getting that right takes skill and patience, not a price-per-door race.
We offer both supply-and-fit (we source the doors, linings, architrave, and ironmongery) and fit-only if you have already purchased your own. This service sits within our wider joinery service alongside fitted wardrobes, wall panelling, and media walls.
What We Fit
Internal Door Types
We supply and fit the full range of internal doors. Whether you want a single replacement or a complete set for the whole house, every door is hung by a qualified joiner.
Standard Internal Doors
Hollow-core and solid-core doors in a range of panel styles. We measure, trim, and hang each door so it opens, closes, and latches properly from day one.
Oak and Hardwood Doors
Solid oak, walnut, and other hardwood doors for a premium finish. Heavier than standard doors, which means more precise hanging and heavier-duty hinges.
Glazed Doors
Internal doors with glass panels to let light flow between rooms. Available in clear, frosted, and decorative styles.
Fire Doors
FD30 fire doors for flats, HMOs, and properties where Scottish building regulations require them. Supplied with the correct intumescent strips and self-closing mechanisms.
Full Door Sets
Door, lining, architrave, and ironmongery supplied and fitted as a complete package. This is the cleanest option when you want a consistent finish throughout.
Door Replacements (Existing Frames)
If your frames are sound, we can supply and fit new doors into the existing linings. Each door is trimmed to the opening rather than forcing a standard size.
What You Get
What Door Fitting Includes
Every door fitting job includes accurate measuring of each opening before any doors are ordered or cut. We do not assume standard sizes because most openings are not standard, especially in older Falkirk homes with thicker walls and non-uniform frames.
- Precise measuring of every opening before ordering
- Removal and disposal of old doors if needed
- Trimming each door to the actual opening (not forcing a standard size)
- New hinges, handles, and latches fitted (or existing hardware reinstalled)
- New linings and architrave where required (matched to existing profiles or new)
- Final check that every door opens, closes, and latches cleanly
Local Expertise
Door Fitting Across Falkirk and Central Scotland
We fit internal doors across Falkirk (FK1, FK2), Grangemouth (FK3), Bo'ness (EH51), Larbert and Stenhousemuir (FK5), Stirling (FK7, FK8, FK9), and the wider Central Scotland area. Whether you live in a 1930s terrace in Bainsford with thick walls and non-standard frames, or a new-build in Polmont with plasterboard partitions, we measure every opening on site and fit to what is actually there.
Multi-door projects are our sweet spot. A full house of new doors is typically a one or two-day job, and the per-door cost is significantly lower than fitting them individually. If you are planning a wider room upgrade, door fitting pairs well with new wall panelling, flooring, or a full property renovation.
Why Choose a Joiner for Door Fitting
Door hanging is joinery, not handyman work. LJD is led by Lewis, a qualified joiner, and every door we fit is hung by a joiner rather than a general trades worker. The difference is in the detail: consistent gaps, clean hinge recesses, architrave that meets without filler, and doors that continue to close properly as the building settles. If your door project is part of a larger room upgrade, we coordinate all trades under one project.
Common Questions
Door Fitting FAQ
- How much does door fitting cost in Falkirk?
- Labour to hang a single internal door into an existing frame typically costs between £60 and £120. A full door set with new lining and architrave is usually £200 to £450 per doorway. Multi-door projects cost less per door because the setup time is spread across the job. For a precise figure, request a free quote.
- Can you fit doors I have already bought?
- Yes. If you have purchased your own doors from a supplier, we are happy to fit them. We will check the sizes against your openings and let you know if any trimming or lining adjustments are needed before we start.
- How many doors can you fit in a day?
- A qualified joiner can typically hang 4 to 6 doors in a day when fitting into existing frames. New linings and architrave add time, so a full door set usually takes half a day per doorway. We confirm the timeline before work begins.
- Do older Falkirk homes need special door fitting?
- Often, yes. In older properties the walls are thicker, the frames are non-standard widths, and the openings are rarely perfectly square. A joiner trims each door to the actual opening rather than assuming standard dimensions, and can build or adapt linings to suit thicker walls.
- Do I need fire doors in my property?
- In Scotland, fire doors may be required in certain situations such as flats, HMOs, and some loft conversions, depending on the property layout and escape routes. Scottish building regulations set the specific requirements. If you are unsure whether your property needs fire doors, we can discuss it during the initial visit or point you to the relevant guidance.
- Can door fitting be done as part of a larger project?
- Yes. New internal doors are often fitted as part of a wider property renovation, alongside new flooring, wall panelling, or a full room refresh. We coordinate all trades under one project.
- What areas do you cover?
- We are based in Falkirk and cover Stirling, Grangemouth, Bo'ness, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, and the wider Central Scotland area.
