The Issue

The inward-opening configuration of the French doors was unsuitable for the property layout and did not meet the resident’s functional needs. The installation also created limitations around accessibility and general day-to-day use, prompting the need for a full replacement with a more appropriate door system.

Overcoming Challenges

  • The incorrect original installation presented several challenges. Adjusting the opening direction was not feasible without compromising the integrity of the frame, meaning a complete replacement was required. The surrounding brickwork and internal finishes also had to be protected during removal to prevent avoidable damage.

  • Evander’s team planned the works carefully to ensure the removal and refit were carried out safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the resident.
