Inspección de Puertas Interiores

1. Open and close the door — should move smoothly without rubbing or sticking

2. Check gaps around the door — should be consistent (about 1/8" at sides and top)

3. Verify the door does not swing open or closed on its own (indicates frame is not plumb)

4. Check latch engagement — door should latch securely when closed

5. Verify strike plate is properly aligned (door doesn't rattle when latched)

6. Check door stops — properly positioned, not missing

7. For pocket doors: should slide smoothly and stay in any position

8. Check bottom gap — 1/2" to 3/4" above floor or carpet

1. Check all hardware matches (same style and finish throughout the house)

3. Check lockset operation — turns smoothly, privacy locks lock and unlock

4. Inspect door surface — no dents, scratches, or paint drips

5. Check casing (trim) around door — tight joints, no gaps

6. Verify hinge screws are not stripped
