Door that can't be opened 180 degrees...

[Zinne]

Hello!

I'm not sure if I'm placing this question in the right place, but I'll try.

I had a handyman here who built walls and installed doors. Since then, I've been bothered by the fact that the doors cannot be opened fully (180 degrees) because they hit the wall. The hinge is not positioned at the edge. Is this reasonable, is it common to install doors this way, or am I right/should I complain to the handyman?
I'm completely new to this house stuff.

Thanks for the response!

A picture of the hinge and a fully opened door wouldn't hurt

180 degrees usually becomes difficult if I'm not mistaken (I only have old doors in the house) if you don't want hinges that stick out beyond the frame when the door is closed, then it probably is so. When I try to remember, doors usually aren't in the middle of walls, so this problem is noticeable.

But a door has already, after a few weeks, worn away a bit of the wall that it constantly hits. The door frame is not mounted in line with the wall, but about 5 cm into it - on the other side, it is in line with the wall. Where the hinges are not. Are you following what I mean...? It feels like it should instead be mounted in line with the wall where the hinges are for maximum opening.
All the other doors in the house can open 180 degrees.
Unfortunately, I can't send a picture now.

Interior doors are installed so that the hinge side is flush with the wall. If the wall is thicker than the frame, you add trim on the other side of the frame. The same applies to exterior doors; you should try to avoid external trim because the door cannot be fully opened otherwise. Your craftsmen seem not to know their job.

Thank you. verktygsgurun, that's what I suspected.
Is it something I have to accept as a customer, or do I have the right to complain?

Would never pay for a door installation that doesn't work...
