Besides ventilation, lighting and other utilities, doors and windows play an important part towards security and privacy of occupants. Space occupied by the rotation of the shutters, cut of the room area causing inconvenience is another important factor whether or not a particular shutter should open inward or outward. From user's of view ease with which the shutters could be closed or opened has a strong bearing on the position of handles, bolts and similar fittings.
Some pints to look for are given below:
- Open and close all doors and windows and check hinges, locks and bolts. Also check that the correct number of screws have been provided and in correct positions and that the doors and windows work properly, affording maximum convenience.

- See that plaster grooves, where specified, are correctly made to accommodate plastering only on the sides.
- See that all doors and windows fittings are clean and free from paint marks.
