0.4mm as in half a millimetre? It looks a lot more than that looking at the gap along the bottom. If 0.4mm and 0.3mm are correct then its well within tolerance, so the drafts have to done via adjustment which I can't believe the fitted didn't or couldn't do, its basic stuff

Ooops sorry I meant 4mm and 3mm respectively!

Different story now, certainly asthetically the gap along the bottom is unacceptable, maybe the fitter knew he couldn't alter this which is why he said he'll speak to the manufacturer who knows. The 3mm in the width is borderline siding on acceptable to me.

But the door shouldn't be drafty either way

though he emphasised doors were not airtight like fridges and I should expect some air???
