Front Doors

Strong, secure and the first thing anyone sees. We fit front doors on all property types, from straightforward replacements to non-standard openings where the frame needs attention first.

Light blue front door with four window panes and curtains, flanked by a shuttered window and a flower pot with yellow and white flowers.
Timber Front Doors

A natural choice for period properties and homes where composite does not suit the look. We fit solid timber front doors and advise on sizes whether stock or made to measure.

Composite / uPVC Doors

Low maintenance, weather resistant and available in a wide range of styles. The most common choice for front door replacements across the areas we cover.

White French doors with glass panels on a house exterior, flanked by hanging flower baskets on either side.
French Doors

Two-door sets that open outward and work well at the back of a property where you want more light and access to the garden. We fit and align both leaves so they close and lock cleanly.

Wooden rear door with glass panel set in a black vertically paneled exterior wall, with stone pathway and potted plants nearby.
Patio Doors

liding or hinged rear doors that open up a room without needing swing space. We check the frame and threshold carefully on these as the weight and movement puts more demand on the fitting.

Trusted External Door Fitters in Dorking

Dorking has a mix of period homes, terraces, town houses, flats and properties near the Surrey Hills, so external door fitting needs to suit both the building and the way the entrance is used. Some homes need a front door that respects the look of the property. Others need a practical back door, side entrance or garden door that can handle daily movement.

We check the frame, threshold, hinge side, lock side and seals before installation starts. Older frames and uneven thresholds can cause sticking, draughts and lock problems if they are ignored. We explain any issues before the door is hung, then fit and adjust the door so it opens smoothly, closes cleanly and feels secure. The finish should look neat, but the door also needs to work every day.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Getting Started

Can you fit external doors on period homes in Dorking?
Yes. We can fit external doors on period homes where the frame and opening are suitable. Older properties often need closer checks because frames may have moved and openings may not be standard.
Do you fit external doors for terraced houses and town homes?
Yes. We fit front doors, back doors and side access doors for terraced houses, town homes and other properties in Dorking where the door and opening are suitable.
Can a new external door reduce draughts?
Yes, if the frame, threshold and seals are also working well. If the draught is caused by a damaged frame or uneven threshold, that issue may need to be dealt with during fitting.
Do you fit French doors and patio doors?
Yes. We fit French doors, patio doors and other garden access doors where the opening is suitable. Wider openings need careful alignment so the doors, locks and seals work cleanly together.
Do I need permission to replace a front door in Dorking?
Most simple replacements are straightforward, but listed buildings and conservation areas may have extra rules. It is worth checking before changing the style, material or appearance of a front-facing door.
What should I send for a Dorking external door quote?
Send your Dorking location, the type of door you want fitted, whether you already have it, and clear photos of the current door, frame, threshold, hinges and lock area.
