Ask your QuestionI have recently moved into a council house, I don’t have a single door that closes properly and most don’t have handles. I really need to replace the bedroom doors, however the frames are metal with the hinges welded on. As I don’t own the house I really don’t want to go to the expense of replacing all the frames, is it possible to hang new doors onto the existing frame?

"Yes, it’s a standard install. Shouldn’t be an issue."

Remove the loose pin to the hinges, shoot in the door as usual ( plane the door to fit into the door frame), margin at head of door frame, mark out where hinges are, cut out hinges on door & fit, hang door to metal hinges. Perfect. Jay
