Five questions for these proposals
- Assessment. What movement and hardware checks are included?
A heavy door alone does not identify the failed part.
- Parts. Which rollers, latch or other parts are included?
Record actual replacement parts and approval for alternatives.
- Track and alignment. What track work and adjustments are included?
Separate a hardware change from broader track or frame work.
- Exclusions. Are glass, screens or full replacement excluded?
Keep different door components and scopes visible beside the price.
- Handover. What operation checks and warranty terms are supplied?
Ask what the provider checks after work and what coverage applies.
