ᐅ Biffar Front Door – Was the Installation Properly Carried Out?

Bene360Hello everyone.
A new front door was installed at my parents’ house. Everything was measured in advance by the company Biffar, and the door was also installed by the manufacturer’s fitters.
We have a dog, so my parents did not watch during the installation. After the initial excitement, some disappointment is now setting in.
The new door is not installed within the frame recess like the old front door but seems to be flush with the interior wall, positioned in front of the frame recess. A plastered drywall (?) has been built up on the sides and above the door frame.
The new front door is essentially standing inside the hallway.
We are also concerned about the fixing. We tapped the walls next to and above the frame. The entire area behind the new drywall seems hollow.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an installation manual for our door, only manuals from other manufacturers.
With an RC2 front door, the frame is usually screwed to the masonry on all sides with long screws. Due to the hollow spaces, our door can probably only be screwed in at the threshold.
In a YouTube video, I saw that the frame of Biffar doors is screwed to the masonry on one side through the holes for the “lock bolts.” On our door, I can see the holes for the screws. Nothing is screwed in there. You can almost fully insert a chopstick into the holes, so the area behind must be hollow.
A representative will come on Monday to inspect the situation.
Somehow I have a feeling that next week we will hear that this is all normal, that the door was glued with some kind of space-age adhesive, and nothing can go wrong.
Therefore, I would like to ask for advice on how to handle this situation. Can the door be correctly installed like this? Are there not any requirements for installing RC2 doors?
I have no knowledge of this whole matter and currently feel very uneasy.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you.
