Document the door damage clearly

Insurance-related work still begins with the physical door. The useful first step is to record what is damaged and separate repairable parts from items that may need replacement.

Photo assessment

Useful photographs of the leaf, frame, lock area, hinges, glass and overall opening.

Not sure which one fits? Send a photo and a short description. The starting point can be as simple as “the paint is damaged”, “the door rubs”, “the glass cracked” or “I want this opening to disappear into the wall”.
Doors Dublin focuses on practical door decisions: what can be repaired, what should be replaced, what information is useful, and how to plan the work clearly.

What helps a claim

  • Clear photographs before work starts.
  • A description of what happened and when.
  • Measurements and identification of damaged components.
  • A written quotation describing proposed door-related work.

Repair versus replacement

  • A quotation should distinguish between repairing a usable frame, replacing the door leaf, replacing hardware, replacing glass or fitting a complete new door and frame.

Important

  • Insurance decisions are made by the insurer or appointed professionals. Doors Dublin can help with the door work and supporting door-related information, but does not decide policy coverage.

When to ask Doors Dublin

If you are not sure whether the door needs repair, adjustment, refinishing or replacement, send photos and a short description. We can review the door-related details, explain practical options and arrange supply, fitting, replacement or other agreed door work in Dublin.

For regulated or specialist work, requirements can depend on the specific door, property and documentation. Where specialist certification is required, that should be confirmed before work is agreed.
