I was wondering, if you need to replace your door and it has a transom above it, is it possible to remove it and brick/board it up and get a new door for the opening that's left? Or would you always need to have a transom to fill the gap? Does it have structural properties? Great install lads thanks
Hi Kermit, we would always look at replacing the door, side frame or top light at the same time. However it is sometimes possible to keep these in place depending on the condition. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Stephen
Hi, we have had very few issues considering the amount of doors we install. Any issues we have had get resolved under the 10 year guarantee. We buy all our Solidors direct from Solidor meaning no third party manufacturing issues with the product or any future guarantees. A genuine Solidor installed by a highly recommend firm is the way to go.
When fitting the door to the cill is it fitted dry or do you run silicone on the top the cill? Just had a solidor fitted and was fitted dry. Previous upvc door was siliconed in to the cill
Hi Chris, apologies for the slow reply. Yes, always seal the cill to the pvc frame or aluminium low thresholds. This will stop driving rain or water when cleaning back tracking into the property. The seal will also stop any draught. Thanks for watching and your question, Stephen

Thank you for replying!
hi there, How would I change my normal composite door to have a paddle handle type that won’t open outside unless the key is used
Many thanks
Hi, depending on the lock type you can change the handle to a split spindle option quite easily. Google split spindle door handle. Hope this helps.
Nice clean installation with a quality finish. Can you tell me what fixing are used to fix frame into the brickwork ?
Hi Mark, these are a masonry torx frame fixing. You can buy these from Screwfix . Hope this helps 👍🏻

Gunned it up free hand….look shit that when silicone starts to show up on frame and it’s all over…takes 10 seconds to masking it
