Composite entrance
Our default recommendation for a front door. Solid, warm, secure, and it looks like painted timber from the pavement.
The one part of the house people touch.
Configurator
Turn it round. Try a colour.
Drag to rotate
A composite door is a solid timber-core slab wrapped in a GRP skin — it won't warp like timber, won't flex like uPVC, and holds its colour without painting. This is the 48mm slab we fit as standard.

What's inside it
48mm solid timber core
Not a foam-filled shell. It's the mass that stops a door being kicked through, and it's what makes it feel heavy in the hand.
High-security cylinder
Anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-drill, anti-pick — snapping the cylinder is how most uPVC doors actually get opened, so this is the part that matters.
Multi-point locking
Hooks, rollers and a deadbolt engaging the frame keeps down the full height of the leaf when you lift the handle.
The range
Front, back and everything between.
Different jobs, different doors. Here's what we'd put where — and roughly what each one is good and bad at.
uPVC entrance
Lighter and cheaper, with the same multi-point locking. Best on back doors, side passages and utility entrances.
French doors
Two leaves, no track in the floor, full opening width when you want it. The classic answer onto a patio or garden.
Sliding patio
Nothing swings into the room, so you keep the furniture layout. Big panes, slim interlock, inline or in-frame.
Bi-folding
Folds back and stacks to one side so the whole opening disappears. Worth it on a wide aperture; overkill on a narrow one.
Stable & side panels
Split-leaf stable doors for kitchens, plus glazed side panels and toplights to bring daylight into a dark hallway.

Security
Burglars don't pick locks. They snap cylinders.
The weak point on almost every uPVC and composite door in Britain is the euro cylinder. Grip it, snap it, and the door opens in seconds. It costs very little to specify one that can't be — so we specify it as standard and write it on the quote, rather than treating it as an upgrade.
3-star anti-snap cylinder
Sacrificial break line, hardened anti-drill pins, anti-pick and anti-bump.
Laminated glazing in the aperture
So the panel can't be knocked through to reach the handle.
Reinforced keeps and hinge bolts
Fixed through the frame into the structural opening, not just into the plastic.
