Worth Doing It Properly
The mix of Victorian and post-war housing in the GU11 area means composite door installers here encounter a wide range of existing door frames and threshold configurations, and an installer who visits your property to measure the specific opening and assess whether the existing frame can be retained is essential before any door is ordered.

Security Standards for Aldershot GU11 Composite Doors
GU11 properties span several housing eras with correspondingly varied door opening dimensions. Victorian and Edwardian doors are often slightly wider or taller than modern standard sizes; post-war and 1960s–1980s housing tends to have more consistent dimensions that match standard composite door ranges well. Getting the opening measured on site before ordering is the step that prevents the most common installation problem — a door that doesn't fit.
