    Looking into the idea of procuring a set of white PVC doors from wholesale place.

    The doors are 1.50m x 2.00m.

    Is there much involved in installing doors like this if the opening is ready?

    Any tips?

    Hi,
    They are fairly easy to fit as long as the opening is the right size for the door.
    Plugs and screws is the best way to secure the door.
    You will need to place the door in the opening and then jack it up so its flush on the top.Wedge it in place with some timber wedges first and them plumb it up horizontally and vertically.
    Open the 2 doors and drill through the frame into masonary and fix it that way.
    The doors will be able to be adjusted on the hinges if they are not opening and closing smoothly.
    Seal around the outside with a suitable all weather sealant.
    The bottom of the door(if there are gaps) mix some concrete and fill under the door.
    Job done have a beer!!!!

    First off make sure you get the right size, then place the door again a wall open and lift the doors off the hinges you now have an frame to work with,
    Make sure the frame is plumb and level done raise it up, you need to seal under the door with very good quality sealer like Tec 7, fix the frame with heavy duty fixings remember the full weight of the doors will hang on this frame,
    Then lift the doors back on and adjust.
    If you never did this before get some help from someone that has its not a job for a first time taking a chance on
