Your snag / QA checklist — Flush (internal)

Walk each door against these. Tick on site; raise anything outside tolerance as a snag within the defect liability period.

Gaps & margins4 items
  • Even leaf-to-frame margins all round (target 2–4mm, consistent).
  • Frame plumb and square (deviation within ±1.5–2mm).
  • Leaf flat — no bow, twist or cupping across the face.
  • Threshold / floor clearance correct and consistent.
Operation3 items
  • Opens and closes smoothly with one hand, no binding or drop.
  • Latch engages first time; bolt throws fully into keep.
  • No rubbing on frame, floor or carpet through full swing.
Hardware3 items
  • Hinges (3/leaf) screwed fully, flush, and free of play.
  • Lever / handle centre ~1000mm, lock ~900mm, firmly fixed.
  • Lock / latch aligns with strike plate; key turns cleanly.
Finish4 items
  • Finish free of runs, drips, scratches, dents and over-spray.
  • Edges, top and bottom of leaf sealed / painted (moisture).
  • Frame, architrave and beading caulked and gap-free to wall.
  • Lipping / edge banding intact, no de-lamination at corners.

Snag smarter, sign off with confidence

DesignAI explains the acceptance tolerances for each door type, the most common Indian site defects, and how to word a snag list your fitter will action.

This is a guidance tool, not a substitute for a qualified fitter or site engineer. Tolerances are indicative India 2026 — even 2–4mm margins, frame plumb ±1.5–2mm, one-hand operation, latches first time. Fire-rated sets must follow the certified set and NBC / IS 3614: leaf gaps ≤3mm, intumescent + smoke seals, 3+ fire-rated hinges, self-closing and "fire door keep shut" signage. Levers should sit ~900–1050mm (RPwD accessible range 800–1100mm). Snags are commonly rectified within a 6–12 month defect liability period; any remedial materials carry 18% GST. Confirm acceptance with your carpenter / fitter on site.
