Stylish & Secure Entrance Doors for Your Home

Entrance doors in this collection are solid timber engineered doors built with a Meranti veneer face, FJL hardwood core and solid matching timber lipping. Each door is supplied unfinished and ready to stain or paint to your chosen colour. Glass options are clear or frosted; the number of glass lite panels varies by model. Standard heights are 2040mm and 2340mm, with widths from 720mm to 920mm and a thickness of 40mm throughout.

What to Consider Before Buying

Finish is the first decision. All doors in this collection are supplied unfinished. Before installation, all surfaces — including the top and bottom edges — must be sealed with an oil-based sealer or primer and a final topcoat. Sealing the top and bottom edges is particularly important for external doors exposed to weather; unsealed edges are the most common cause of moisture ingress and swelling in timber entrance doors.

Glass lite count determines how much natural light enters the entry and how much visual connection exists between inside and outside. A single-lite door (one glass panel) gives a contained, traditional look. A multi-lite door (four or six glass panels arranged in a grid) admits more light and suits contemporary facades where brightness at the entry is a priority. Frosted glass provides privacy while still admitting light; clear glass gives full visibility and is best suited to entries that are screened from the street.

Width selection should be based on the rough opening dimension with allowance for the door jamb and frame. Each door can be trimmed by up to 5mm per side where lipping is 10mm or more — remove material evenly from both sides. If your opening requires a width outside the standard range, contact us before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the door made from?

The doors are built with a solid timber engineered construction featuring a Meranti veneer face, FJL hardwood core and solid matching timber lipping. This construction method combines the appearance of a solid timber door with improved dimensional stability compared to a single-species solid timber slab.

Do the doors come pre-finished or unfinished?

All doors are supplied unfinished. Before installation, sand any handling marks, then apply an oil-based sealer or primer coat followed by your chosen topcoat. All surfaces must be finished, including the top and bottom edges — this is especially important for external doors where unsealed edges are exposed to moisture.

Can the doors be trimmed to fit a non-standard opening?

Each door can be trimmed by up to 5mm per side where the lipping is 10mm or more. Remove material evenly from both sides. If your opening width falls outside the standard range (720mm to 920mm), contact us before ordering.

What glass options are available?

The collection includes doors with clear glass and frosted glass panels in 5mm thickness. Clear glass maximises natural light and visibility at the entry; frosted glass admits light while obscuring the view from outside. The number of glass panels varies by model — from a single large lite to multi-lite arrangements.

How many hinges are needed for installation?

Three hinges are recommended for entrance doors to provide the rigidity and longevity required for a regularly used external door. Hardware, hinges and locks are not included and must be sourced separately.
