Extremely poor! Composite front door fitting We had a composite front door fitted. It looks lovely, although we were (and still are) unable to get in and out easily. The door was not fitted in the correct position (only by 1-2mm so not much) so the lock mechanism does not slot into or release from its keeps. We asked the fitter, the site engineer and the manager to visit the property and fix the problem. They tried spraying the door with grease, shaved some metal off the hinges and some other stupid and unhelpful things. We complained to customer services which was a waste of time. They absolutely don't care! And equally are not concerned that we (or anyone visiting us) are unable to use the door. We contacted the lock manufacturer direct who provided us with their guidelines on how to fit the door so the lock can release easily and an engineer from the lock company even went to the trouble to Facetime us so we could show him the problem. He agreed that the door was not fitted to specification and, although we sent this information on Anglian, they simply dismissed us and told us the door is fine. Although it is perfectly clear that the door is 1-2mm in the wrong position, the only solution offered by Anglian was to install a knob so we can push and pull the door to release the lock mechanism (rather than just turn the lock and open the door)! We were told by Anglian that it is standard practice to push on a door (on the inside of the house going out) to release the lock and pull the door towards us (from the outside going in). I have never had to use this manoeuvre to open any door ever! I was even told that Anglian have no obligation to install this knob - it's a gesture of goodwill! We did not accept their gesture! The door simply needs to be moved 1-2mm. I asked customer services about their complaints procedure and I was given an email address to make a formal complaint which I did. Guess whose desk the complaint email landed on - the same person who provided the email address - the same person who has been dismissing me ever since the door was fitted. So don't bother complaining - they simply don't care. I find it disturbing that such a well known company can be satisfied that they have left customers unable to use their new front door. The one engineer who was able to open the door with ease was around 6ft 5" and built like a tank! We were told the the door would loosen up in time. Well, six months later, we are still unable to open the door! In essence, I would vehemently not recommend this company! They are not only rude, uncaring and dismissive - they will not resolve any issues you may have! And there is no complaints procedure.
