Fire and safety rules to check
Snippets of the National Building Code (PD 1096) state that exterior doors and windows should have a three-quarter-hour fire-resistive rating for all types of construction. Fire-rated doors, under the Fire Code (RA 9514), must close automatically and latch securely. Ask every seller to confirm the rating and the closing mechanism in writing. A standard residential door is generally 2100 mm (7 ft) high, while main entrance doors are usually wider than internal ones, so measure before you shop.
Season and the wet months
The Philippines has no winter. It is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead. November is still in the rainy months across much of the country, so plan installation for a spell when the opening can stay dry, and ask the installer how they will protect it if rain arrives. Timber doors in particular should be sealed soon after fitting.
How doors are bought and delivered here
Listings show prices in pesos and sizes in both inches and millimetres, such as 36 in. x 80 in. Handing is written as left or right hand inswing, so say which way the door opens and whether it opens in or out. Ask each seller whether they deliver to Cebu City or Davao City and what it costs, because a heavy door can make freight a large part of the bill. The prices above are for the door, so ask about installation separately.
What to put in your request
Tell sellers which entrance the door is for, the opening size in millimetres, the opening side, and the finish or colour you like. If you already have a brand or series in mind, name it. Say whether you need installation, the address or city, and your budget. A photo of the old door and frame helps a seller quote without a visit.
