How many hours to hang a door?
I’m replacing some internal doors and want to know how long a professional usually takes to hang each door
Expert Trade Answers
"Hi
To answer your question about time to hang a door. If the frame is square and true - roughly 1-1.5 hours inc all furniture. If the frame has twist, or an unusual size it’ll take longer. Be wary of anyone saying less time than that. The gaps on the door when finished should be no more than 4mm all round.
Hope that helps.

"On a construction site joiners are usually required to fit 5 doors a day, for fire doors its less due to the weight."
