Composite Front Doors

Start with the entrance as a whole

A composite front door is normally supplied as a complete entrance system rather than chosen only as a loose door leaf. The frame, threshold, glazing and locking arrangement should be considered together.

What to compare

• Overall door and frame dimensions
• Opening direction and usable entrance space
• Solid or glazed design
• Privacy level of the glass
• Colour inside and outside
• Handle, letter plate and other hardware
• Threshold height and weather sealing

Replacement needs a survey

Before removing an existing entrance door, check the surrounding frame, sill, wall finish and floor level. This helps establish whether the new system can fit cleanly without unexpected alterations around the opening.

Choose for the property, not just the brochure

The best colour and panel design are the ones that suit the proportions and finishes already around the entrance. Photos of the facade, windows and existing door help narrow down suitable options.
