French doors create a traditional double-door opening that brings more natural light into your home and provides easy access to the garden. Available in different materials and finishes, they work particularly well in kitchens, lounges and extensions.

FAQ
QUESTIONS WE’RE OFTEN ASKED
Here are some of the questions we’re often asked about choosing, installing and repairing doors.
If you can’t find the answer you need, just get in touch.
What’s the real difference between composite, uPVC and aluminium doors?
Composite doors are particularly popular for entrances because of their solid construction, security and wide choice of styles. uPVC is practical, low-maintenance and usually more budget-friendly, while aluminium offers slim profiles, strength and a contemporary finish. The best choice depends on where the door is going and what matters most to you.
Is a composite door actually more secure than a uPVC door?
The material alone doesn’t determine how secure a door is. The frame, locking system, hardware, glazing and quality of installation all play an important part. A well-specified and properly installed door is more important than simply choosing one material over another.
When are bi-fold doors a better choice than sliding doors?
Bi-fold doors are a good option when creating the widest possible opening between your home and garden is the priority. Sliding doors usually provide larger uninterrupted areas of glass and don’t require the panels to fold to one side. The available space and the way you intend to use the opening will usually determine which works better.
Can I replace my front door without replacing the surrounding frame?
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition, dimensions and compatibility of the existing frame. In many cases a new door is supplied with a matching frame to ensure the complete system fits, seals, locks and performs as intended. We can assess the existing installation before recommending the best approach.
Why does my door stick, drop or become difficult to lock?
A door can become difficult to operate for several reasons, including movement or adjustment of the hinges, worn hardware, changes in alignment or problems with the locking mechanism. It doesn’t automatically mean the whole door needs replacing – many of these issues can be repaired or adjusted.
Can an existing door be adjusted or repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Problems with locks, handles, hinges, alignment and seals can frequently be repaired without replacing the complete door. If the door or frame is badly damaged or no longer performing properly, we’ll explain whether replacement would make more sense in the long term.
What should I compare when getting quotes for a new door?
Look beyond the final price. Compare the door specification, frame, glazing, locking system, hardware, installation, finishing work, guarantees and any certification included. Two doors that look very similar in photographs may not necessarily be equivalent products.
Will replacing a door damage the existing brickwork, plaster or flooring?
Most replacement doors can be installed with minimal disruption, but every opening is different. The condition of the existing frame, surrounding brickwork, internal finishes and flooring can all affect the work required. These areas should be assessed before installation so you know what to expect.
