Composite Doors - specification

Adjust the Size of the Door to match your own measurements

Entering your measurements

This Step of the processes allows you to submit the sizes , in Millimetres (mm), that you would like the door manufactured to.

Please change the size of the door to match your own measurements. Click on any size (Shown in millimetres) which appears with either a red arrow above them or just with as numerals with a blue line through (See above).

Amend each size as required, within any minimum or maximum production sizes allowed, which may appear highlighted in a black text box (See above)  

If you enter any size which is above or below the current maximum or minimum a text box will appear (See above).

Certain sizes will be automatically calculated based on other size information shown for each door. These appear as white numerals in a red text box (See above)  

Cill included?

The sizes confirmed will always include any Cill

Manufacturing  and measurement tolerances

Our manufacturing works within tolerances of 2-3mm.

Please ensure the sizes you provide are not tight brickwork opening sizes as your new door may not fit, always allow a tolerance of about minus 10mm in the width and minus 10mm in the height. (Reduce size further if your opening is not square, out of level or has protruding bricks as your new door must be installed square, level and plumb).

Assumptions
We will always assume :

• The normal width for a side opening sash is 600mm, this is measured from the edge of the outer frame to the centre of the mullion (vertical bar). Exceptions: If the door divides into equal parts of less than 650mm (divided by mullions) then your side opener will be set at an equal division. However, if you specify egress hinges it will revert to a 650mm wide section. If you specify easy clean hinges it will revert to a 600mm wide section.
• The normal height of a fanlight sash is 360mm, this is measured from the top of the frame to the centre of the transom (horizontal bar). Georgian bar, diamond and rectangular lead will be laid out according to our best practice.

The door knocker can give your door a more traditional feel and add an element of decoration as well as having a practical use.

Letterboxes are available in either white, gold, or chrome so you can match it to the colour of your door handle, or you can opt for a white letterbox that will blend into a white coloured door panel, (available at extra cost).

Our door handles are secured internally to prevent them being removed from the outside. The locking system works by pulling up the handle to activate the mechanism before turning the key, and pushing down to open. Doors are supplied with white handles, as standard, or for a more modern look you can opt for either gold or chrome handles, at an extra cost. Regardless of the handle colour, the part where the key goes in will always be brass in colour.
 

White Lever Door Handle

Gold Lever Door Handle

Chrome Lever Door Handle

The standard locking mechanism is a Lever/Lever which allows you to open the door using the handle from inside and outside, if you wish to not be able to open the door using the handle from the outside and instead have to use a key then please select the split-spindle mechanism as described below (available at extra cost).

With a split spindle the locking mechanism works differently on the inside and outside of the house. The handle works as normal from the inside - push down to open, and lift up to activate the mechanism before turning the key. From the outside, pushing down on the handle does not operate anything and the door is always partly locked when it is closed. This means that a key is always needed when entering from the outside.

Our composite doors offer the highest level of security. The super-strong structural frame combined with glass-reinforced plastic and reinforced steel outer frame, provide infallible protection against intruders.

A door cill sits at the bottom of the exterior door frame to aid the drainage of water away from the door and house. The depth of cill needed will depend on how far back your door is set into the wall.

Your composite door comes with a low threshold as standard. If you require a threshold for disabled use then we offer the document M threshold, designed specifically for disabled access. Please note, on doors with side panels, the threshold will be supplied in separate pieces.

If the door has a cill as part of the structure of the house, eg. a stone or brick cill, you may not require a cill as there may already be sufficient means of drainage in place.

If you select to include an external Cill as part of your door order, it will be automatically included in the overall height of your door.

150mm and 180mm include Cill End Caps. Stub Cills do not need them and so they are not included.

Our Side Lights include `toughened` glass as standard - for added safety and security.

`Toughened` glass isn`t necessary in the top windows panes currently, but it can be added as an optional extra if required.
