What are some common problems and solutions during the installation of doors and windows?

During the installation of doors and windows, some common problems do occur. Here are a few common problems and their corresponding solutions:

1. The size of doors and windows is not suitable

Problem: The installed doors and windows may not match the reserved opening size, resulting in difficult installation or poor sealing.

Solution:
Before installation, make sure that the door and window size matches the opening size accurately. The thickness of the door and window frame should be considered when measuring.
If there is a deviation in the size, it can be solved by adjusting the frame or choosing custom doors and windows.

2. The door and window are not sealed tightly

Problem: After installation, the sealing around the door and window is poor, resulting in air, dust or moisture penetration.

Solution:
Use high-quality sealing strips or sealing foam strips to fill the gaps between the door and window frame and the wall.
Make sure that the doors and windows are horizontal and vertical during installation to avoid poor sealing due to asymmetry.
Check whether the opening and closing of the doors and windows are smooth and ensure that the contact surface is tight when closing.

3. Doors and windows are difficult to open or stuck
Problem: After installation, doors and windows are not opened and closed smoothly, which may be due to improper installation angle or quality problems of the doors and windows themselves.

Solution:
Check whether the doors and windows are installed horizontally and make sure that the frames are not deformed.
Lubricate the hinges or rails of doors and windows regularly to avoid rust or dust accumulation that may cause jamming.
If it is due to the distortion or deformation of the door and window frames, you can consider reinstalling or replacing accessories.

4. Doors and windows are not installed firmly
Problem: The doors and windows are not firm after installation, shake or fall off easily, which may be due to improper installation methods or insufficient fixings.
Solution:
Make sure to use high-quality installation accessories, such as screws, expansion bolts, etc., and choose the appropriate fixing method according to the wall material.
Before installation, check whether the frames of doors and windows are intact to avoid loose fixings due to material problems.

5. The appearance of doors and windows does not meet expectations
Problem: The appearance of doors and windows after installation does not meet customer expectations, which may be differences in color, style or design.
Solution:
Before purchasing and installing, confirm that the design, color and material of doors and windows meet expectations. You can ask the manufacturer to provide samples or templates to ensure accuracy.

During installation, carefully check the symmetry and surface treatment of doors and windows to avoid damage or non-compliance with standards.
