What makes a new door feel right
Secure from the first close
Accurate fixing and alignment help locks, hinges and seals work smoothly.
Warmer and better sealed
Good perimeter sealing helps keep out draughts and driven rain.
Works with wider updates
Door fitting can be planned with altered openings and renewed entrance finishes.
A new door should close cleanly and feel right
A new external door has a fairly simple job: keep the weather out, close cleanly and feel secure every time you use it. Getting there takes more care than most people realise. Our UPVC door installation work in Leicester covers entrance and other external doors, with attention to style, glazing, threshold choice, opening direction, hardware and how the frame meets the existing fabric of the house. With RD Construction, the fit matters as much as the door itself, because a decent unit can still feel poor if alignment and sealing are off.
Set square, sealed well and built to last
We measure precisely, fix the frame securely and make sure the door sits square, locks smoothly and seals properly around the perimeter. That matters for warmth, weather resistance and simple day to day use. Projects with RD Construction can also bring door fitting into a wider alteration or renovation, which helps when openings are changing, surrounding finishes are being redone or you want the entrance to match other planned improvements.
Frequently asked questions
Why does alignment matter so much with a new door?
A door that is not set square can feel awkward from day one. Good alignment affects locking, weather sealing, hinge movement and the way the door shuts, so it is central to security and everyday use.
Can a new UPVC door be fitted during renovation work?
Yes, and that is often useful if openings, surrounding walls or entrance finishes are changing anyway. Planning the door as part of the bigger job helps the frame, threshold and final look sit properly with the updated area.
What details help at the first enquiry stage?
It helps to know which door is being replaced, what style you have in mind and whether the opening or surrounding finishes are changing. Clear photos and basic measurements can also make the first discussion far more useful.
