Default Doors

I am going to have a set of double doors and frame replaced. I have a
couple of guys coming out tomorrow to look at them. They are pretty
weathered and dry rot.

Anyway, I plan on letting them get the measurements and I will go get
the doors. I know that cutting holes for locks and such makes it a
one shot deal.

What happens if the guy misses, or the measurements are off? Shouldn't
he have to replace the door?

Where we live, the person who buys the door is responsible that it
will fit. Where we live, the person who buys the door does the
measuring too.

For that type of work you might wanna get people in better shape.

Andy suggests:
Ask him. Based on his answer, THEN decide if you want to use him
and his weathered friend.....

I'd be really surprised if he will be responsible for anything
unless he does EVERYTHING himself.... maybe not even then....
