How to Choose Doors: A Contractor’s Checklist

Most doors decisions go wrong at specification, not at price. Here is the checklist we run through with builders, contractors and homeowners before an order goes in.

The short version

  • Specify for the exposure the product actually sees, not the best case.
  • Check compatibility with what your installer already uses.
  • Buy the quantity the drawing calls for plus a realistic wastage allowance.
  • Confirm lead time before you commit — stock position moves weekly.
