Quite often not the workshop guys doing the installation. It's the bit that lets down most furniture and window companies.

The previous owner of the house was allegedly a joiner!
The cabinet was full of tools when the new owners viewed the house and it should have been removed but wasn't. I can now guess why.Not long after they moved in, the sliding mirror wardrobe doors frame fell apart and the glass came out. A surprise which could have ended very badly.
There were holes for 3 screws in each corner joint, but only 1 screw fitted.

As it turned out, the threshold wasn't too bad and would have been an easy repair. However the circa 30yo aluminium framed door which "only needs new handles" actually needs a replacement locking mechanism, the hinges are worn and both 16mm thick glazed units have failed. Scrap that.
The Repair Care was great to use for splicing on a new end to the window sill yesterday. Also filling in the dozen nail holes where the cabinet was attached to the sill and apron.
Really, what kinda person has the capacity to make a cabinet with routed mortice joints and a first fix nailer but chops off the end of a window sill. Fucking Cockwomble
