A smooth fit keeps you moving. Any delay on-site eats into the rest of your schedule and puts extra pressure on the next job.
For 
installers, there’s nothing more frustrating than having to go back to a site to fix an issue that could have been avoided the first time around. At Vista, we understand that a smooth, first-time fit isn’t just about the door, it’s about the right tools, the right knowledge, and the right support.
That’s why we’ve built our installer-first approach around making fitting as easy and accurate as possible. From QR-code fitting instructions to on-site training and expert technical support, our aim is simple – help you get the job right the first time and keep your schedule on track.
Avoiding the fitting snags that slow you down
Let’s be honest, nobody likes being told how to fit a door. Most installers are highly experienced, confident in their craft, and used to solving problems on the fly. But even the best in the trade know that small fitting mistakes can create big headaches.
Common fitting issues we’ve seen over the years include:
- Frames not being packed correctly, leading to uneven gaps and poor door operation.
- Thresholds not sealed properly, resulting in water ingress.
- Hinges adjusted unnecessarily to fix air gaps, when the real cause lies elsewhere.
- Frames bending in the top corner, throwing the sash out of square.
These aren’t just theoretical problems, they’re real-world issues that slow down jobs, frustrate customers, and cause costly call-backs. And in most cases, they can be avoided.
Why we switched from full manuals to quick fitting tips
We used to produce detailed, page-after-page installation guides. The problem? They were rarely used!
So, we took a different approach. Instead of expecting installers to read lengthy instructions, we created short, sharp fitting tips guides. They are quick to read, easy to follow, and highlight the points that make the biggest differences to fit quality.
These fitting tips are based on years of hands-on fitting experience and feedback from our customers. They’re practical, no-nonsense reminders of the steps that prevent the most common problems.
The power of QR code fitting instructions
To make things even easier, we attach a QR code right on the door. It’s your instant link to our fitting guide, no searching for paperwork, no digging through emails.
Simply scan the code with your phone and you’ll have a quick-reference fitting tips guide, optimised for mobile viewing. The instructions are clear and to the point, focusing on preventing the most common fitting issues. By putting fitting advice literally at your fingertips, we make it easier for installers to double-check a step or refresh their memory before getting started.
How this approach reduces site call-backs
Our fitting support isn’t just about helping you on the day, it’s about reducing the chances you’ll need to go back. Every call-back avoided gives you more time for new installations, helps you keep travel and labour costs down, and leaves customers happier, which in turn strengthens word-of-mouth recommendations. Since introducing our QR-linked fitting tips, we’ve seen a noticeable drop in reported fitting-related aftersales calls, meaning fewer headaches for our customers and more profit in their pockets.
Installer-first support – more than just a QR code
Our QR code fitting tips are just one part of Vista’s wider fitting support package. We’ve thought about every stage of the job, from how the door is fitted to how it arrives on site.
- Toolbox talks – on-site, practical training sessions so your team can see best practice in action.
- Expert technical advice – our team of technicians is always on hand to talk you through any fitting challenges, no matter how specific.
- Video resources – watch first, fit second. Perfect for training new fitters or refreshing experienced ones.
- Smart hardware packaging – every component is neatly laid out on a sheet of cardboard and vacuum-packed, so you can see at a glance that everything you need is there, with no missing parts or wasted time.
This combination of smart packaging, tools, training, and on-demand support means we’re not just a composite door supplier; we’re a partner in making your installations faster, easier, and more reliable.
Why installers choose Vista for fitting support
As a trade-only door supplier, we know our customers’ success is our success. That’s why we focus on service and support as much as product quality. Our doors are designed to be fitter-friendly, with features like triple-seal frames, precision-engineered hardware, and consistent manufacturing tolerances. We also back that up with the knowledge and resources to fit them right.
By giving you the right tools, the right advice, and the right information at the right time, we help you avoid delays, reduce rework, and keep your customers happy.
Our QR code fitting instructions are a small touch with a big impact, keeping every installer equipped to work smarter, not harder. So, next time you’re on site, give that QR code a scan before you start. A minute spent checking our fitting tips could save you hours – and possibly a trip back at a later date.
