    I am looking to replace internal doors in a house I bought. The current frames and skirting are pine/red deal (not too sure which) and the doors white cheap ones. I was looking at buying second hand doors from donedeal that are the same height/width. is there any issues with replacing doors with second hand ones?

    The door furniture (locks and hinges) may be in the wrong place requiring a bit of fettling and filling

    is it a big job to change them if the locks/hinges are in the wrong place?

    Not huge, just messy as pretty much everything is recessed so the lock hole (where the door closes and locks) and striker plate (in the frame) may need to be filled and moved. The hinges are most likely recessed into the frame so new recesses may need to be cut and if the screw holes are close it might be awkward to drive the screws straight (so the door hangs true).


    By no means an expert on this but any time I have replaced doors it was either a virgin door or virgin frame.
