About this door
Engineered oak construction with a solid core, so it hangs straight and stays straight. Supplied unfinished for you to oil or lacquer to match existing joinery, or ready-finished if you would rather not.
A guide price for this configuration — not an offer to sell. We confirm the exact price, in writing, before anything is ordered.
What you also need
This page sells the door leaf. Hanging it takes three or four other things, and the usual reason a door order goes wrong is that nobody mentioned them.
- A lining or frameInternal doors hang in a lining sized to your wall thickness. If you are replacing a leaf in a sound existing lining you do not need one — if the lining is out of square, you do.
- HingesHow many, and what size, depends on the weight of the leaf you have chosen — the weight for your selection is shown in the buy box above.
- A latchTubular latch for most rooms, bathroom lock where you need privacy. The backset has to suit the handle you pick, which is why they are usually chosen together.
- HandlesLever on rose or lever on backplate, and a finish that either matches the rest of the house or deliberately does not.

Delivery & returns
Delivery
Contact us for delivery. Doors are heavy and awkward — this leaf alone is around 17.8 kg — so what it costs and how it arrives depends on how many you order and where you are. We would rather quote it properly than print a number that turns out to be wrong.
Add the door to your list with your postcode and we will come back with the delivery cost as part of the quote.
Returns
Your cancellation and return rights are set out in ourreturns policy.
Practical advice either way: check the size against the door you are replacing before you trim, paint or hang anything. Once a leaf has been cut it cannot go back to the supplier as new.
Build note — not customer copy: the returns and cancellation wording itself is regulated (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, Consumer Rights Act 2015) and must be written or approved by the owner's solicitor before launch. Nothing on this page states a policy on their behalf.[NEEDS HUMAN SIGN-OFF]
Before you fit it
Questions people ask
What size door do I need?
Measure the door you are replacing, not the opening — the leaf is what we supply and it is sized to sit inside the lining with a gap all round. This one comes in 11 sizes: 7 imperial and 4 metric. If none of them matches what you took off the wall, send us the measurements before you order anything — an opening that fits nothing standard usually means the lining has been altered.
Is this door available in metric sizes?
Yes. Alongside the imperial sizes there are 4 metric sizes — 2040mm tall and 40mm thick, which is the family used in most newer houses. Both sets are listed on this page with their millimetre dimensions, because the UK trade quotes imperial but supplies in millimetres.
Does the price include a frame, hinges or a handle?
No. The price is for the door leaf on its own, which is how doors are sold across the trade — but it is also why door orders go wrong. Hanging it needs a lining or frame, hinges, a latch and a handle. They are listed on this page under "What you also need" so you can see the real cost of the job before you commit to any of it.
Can I trim it to fit?
Usually a small amount off each edge, but how much depends on how the door is built — a lighter door has a narrower solid lipping to cut into than a solid one. We confirm the trim allowance for this specific door before you order rather than guess at it here.
What finish does it arrive in?
Whichever you choose above — unfinished, oiled or lacquered. Unfinished means bare timber: it needs oiling or lacquering after it is hung, which is the right choice if you are matching existing joinery. Ready-finished costs more and saves you the job.
How much is delivery?
We do not publish a delivery price yet, because we would rather quote it than guess it. Doors are heavy and awkward, and what it costs depends on how many you order and where they are going. Add the door to your list with your postcode and the delivery cost comes back as part of the quote.
