Doors

Weight, swing
and silence.

Nobody compliments a door — everybody notices a bad one: the rattle, the hollow knock, the one that won't stay shut. It's the most-touched object in your home and usually the least considered. We get the core, the swing and the seal right so a closed door actually means something.

Judged by hand

You feel a good door
before you see it.

A door is judged by hand and ear long before the eye gets involved. A hollow-core door announces itself the moment you touch it, and it'll do that every day for twenty years. Solid core costs a little more and buys the difference you feel every day — the weight, the quiet swing, the soft closed thud.

What makes a good door

Six things you feel
every single day.

Nobody compliments a door — everybody notices a bad one. These six are what separate a leaf that thuds shut from one that rattles at you for the next twenty years.

01

Solid core, always

Fit & alignment

A door is only
as true as its frame.

01

Jamb plumb

Level, or it drifts

A door that swings open or shut on its own isn't haunted — it's a jamb out of plumb. We fix the frame dead true to the floor so the leaf stays exactly where you leave it.

02

Latch alignment

Meets the strike

A door that needs a shove to catch has a strike plate a few millimetres out. We align the rebate and keeper so it latches on a push, not a slam that wakes the house.

03

Acoustic rating

Rated, not guessed

Mass in the leaf and a continuous seal decide how much noise a shut door actually stops. On a study or a teenager's room we spec for it rather than hoping the core is enough.

04

Fire-rated leaf

Where code asks

A flat's main door and the door onto a service shaft often need a rated leaf and intumescent seal. It's a compliance line, not a finish — we flag where the code applies.

05

Threshold detail

Where floors meet

Under every door two finishes meet, sometimes at two heights. We set the undercut so the leaf clears the floor by a hair — enough for air, not a draught gap you could post a letter through.

06

Architrave scribe

Covering the joint

The frame never meets the wall perfectly; the architrave hides that gap. We scribe it tight or hold a clean shadow line, so the surround reads deliberate instead of patched.

Four kinds

The plan picks it,
not the catalogue.

01

Flush

Bedrooms and most rooms — quiet, cheap to finish, disappears into the wall when painted out. The default.

02

Panelled

Foyers and formal rooms — shadow and relief that read traditional or modern depending entirely on the profile.

03

Pocket & sliding

Tight plans and small-flat bathrooms — vanishes into the wall, but the cavity has to be built at civil stage.

You hear it

Close one and the
house sounds different.

The difference a door makes is one you hear, not see — the dull thud of a solid leaf against a seal instead of the rattle of a hollow one. Every door we hang is chosen for that closing sound as much as the finish.

Weight & sound

A hollow door
gives itself away.

The first touch tells you everything — a knuckle-rap that rings, a leaf so light it swings past the latch. Solid core answers with weight, and a gasket with a drop seal turns a bedroom or study into somewhere genuinely private, not just closed off.

  • Solid core throughout, not just the front door
  • Gasket and drop seal on rooms that need privacy
  • Hinges sized for the weight, so nothing sags
  • Lever handles at 950mm, kind to full hands

Decide it early

A pocket door
is a civil-stage call.

The doors that vanish into a wall are the ones you have to plan for before the wall exists. Retrofitting a pocket into a built wall means rebuilding that wall — so it's a decision for the start of a project, not the middle, and we flag it on the plan.

01

Questions

Asked often

It's the cheapest upgrade in the house per unit of daily satisfaction. A hollow-core door tells you it's hollow the first time you touch it, and it will do that every day for twenty years.
