Pvc door fit advice

[markus2025]

Hi guys can anyone give some advice on refitting a pvc door ?

ive taken the old door out as i had to rebuild the brickwork on the reveal as it was all a mess ive now came to refit the took and after chipping off the render that was around it ive found the lintel above is running out
...
do i set the door with equal sill distance at the bottom away from the wall and have a diffrent size reveal gap at the top where the lintel is which i presume can be made good with the new render or do i put the whole door on the the "huh" to following the lintel being out so the distance of reveal at the top would be the same

cheers

Experts will be along to advise for certain, however I'd have thought you should install the door frame so it's level and make good around the frame as required.

Yeah i do have it level well "plumb" but what ever you call left to right lol

So you're not installing it on the huh as you put it? If the door frame's level and you're using the existing hinge holes to attach the door, it will also be level unless you mean you're thinking about adjusting the hinges to make the door sit off level but parallel to the lintel?

I wouldn't. Others might say I'm wrong though

Ive had the full frame and door out ive rebuilt parts on both side so i needed to redrill new holes

Like i say the frame is level upright
