Door-Stop Installation and Glazing Guide


28 September 2026

Door-Stop have put together this detailed guide to help your door look great and work perfectly for years to come.

Inside, you'll find:

  • What to check before you remove your old door, plus the tools you'll need

  • Step-by-step door set installation and recommended fixing positions

  • How to fit handles, lock cylinders, security chains, and door numerals

  • Adjustment instructions for each hinge type Door-Stop uses

  • How to fit side panels, glaze top lights, and seal around the frame

  • Tips on thermal movement, so your door stays straight and secure through every season

Make sure to read the guide all the way through before you start, and pull the handle up every time you close the door to engage the top and bottom locks. It helps protect your door from natural bowing caused by changes in temperature.
