Describing alignment problems on paired timber doors
Record how the pair closes
Tell us which leaf normally opens first and which is held by top or bottom bolts. Describe whether the problem occurs when one leaf closes on its own or only when both are brought together.
From a safe position, photograph the closed pair, the meeting edges and the visible gaps around the frame. Include the threshold and any screen door that shares the opening. Do not force a jammed pair closed for a photograph.
Separate adjustment from finishing
List whether you need easier operation, working latches and bolts, replacement hardware, or a change of finish. These may be quoted as different parts of the work rather than as one unspecified restoration.
If the leaves need to be removed, agree how the wider opening will be secured and when it can be used again. Tell us if the doors are the main route to an outdoor area or if furniture limits access to either side.
Details to include with this enquiry
- Which leaf is normally active, and in what order do they close?
- Where do the leaves catch: centre, top, side or threshold?
- Do the handles, latch and visible bolts operate normally?
- Is the requested result adjustment only, hardware work, refinishing, or a combination?

Timber door restoration in Bulimba — FAQ
Describing alignment problems on paired timber doors
Does a gap between two doors mean both need replacing?+
A photograph of the gap alone cannot establish that. The leaves, frame, hinges, meeting edges and closing hardware need to be considered together before selecting a repair or replacement.
Can only one leaf be refinished?+
Ask for that scope explicitly. The appearance of the adjacent leaf matters, and a newly finished surface may not match an older one. Agree the finishing boundary before accepting the quote.
