Buying a bathroom door (+ hung)

[JeffersLos]

An older wooden bathroom door has become rotten on the bottom, has expanded a bit, and gets jammed.

 

It's time to replace it with a plastic style one for ease and longevity. 

 

We can obviously take the measurements, but want the shop to come, remove the old wooden door, then hang the new plastic one. 

 

Is this standard practice in places like Homepro? Or is it better to go to a specialized shop?

 

TIA.

Homepro just usually have Changs (tradesmen that they recommend,)  don't take the number from the sales person (usually a friend that gives them a cut) ...the front desk will have a list of numbers.

You can shave the door you have now, if its not to warped, wood looks so much better than plastic.

Are the plastic doors good? I have seen quite a few with the screws pulled out of the plastic frame and the door falling off.

They work perfectly well  as long as  you don't misuse/abuse the door 

(teenage temper tantrums or drunk couples rowing)

 

One thing to look out for is the hinges becoming rusty  that will pull the screws out  especially the bottom hinge   best to go with stainless steel hinges from the start on any door likely to get wet at all.

Yes indeed!

Been using one for over a decade and still good.

The hinges & screws seems to be stainless steel.
