When during my build should I install my entrance door? Is it ideally a first fix item before plastering? Or can it be left to second fix? When did everyone else install theirs? I have a temporary front door in at present. With my build, I am can now see the end of external cladding and am heading towards starting first-fix proper. Given the entrance doors typically have 2- to 3-month delivery times, my thoughts are turning to the spec-and-order.

I am just about to order my front door, an expensive RK-model. I am worried about this pricey door getting bashed and scratched during the build. Unusually, I only have a single external door into my whole dwelling – no back door. Would it be better to pay a chippy to put in a temporary entrance door now and delay the installation of the expensive one for a year, until the end of second-fix? Did everyone else do this? I have seen entrance doors covered with protective sheeting. Does that really work? How is it attached? (My current progress: just about to pour my concrete raft foundation – when the weather warms-up. Am currently ordering the doors & windows, etc., so they all arrive soon after the timber frame goes-up.)
