Double Front Doors

Double front doors are commonly known as "double entry doors" or "double exterior doors." These terms specifically refer to the two-door design at the primary entrance of a building, offering a grand and symmetrical aesthetic. For a more specific style, they might also be termed "French doors" when they have glass panes extending their length.

Absolutely, a double door is an excellent choice for a main entrance, as it enhances the visual appeal and makes a grand statement. Additionally, it offers functional benefits like easier furniture movement and accommodation of large groups, adding both aesthetics and practicality to the entryway.

Yes, double front doors are designed to both open. Typically, one door acts as the main entry, used daily, while the other can be opened as needed to allow for a larger entrance space. This versatility makes double doors a practical and stylish choice for wider entryways.

In the UK, the cost of a new front door typically ranges from £1,600 to £2,500 for a timber model. Prices may rise with added features like decorative glass or custom finishes. Be mindful that higher specification doors can increase the cost significantly.

Double doors can be equally as secure as single doors when properly installed with high-quality materials and robust locking systems. In fact, when reinforced correctly, double doors may offer enhanced security due to the additional strength provided by two door panels. Always ensure professional installation for optimal safety.

Fix a gap between double front doors by installing weatherstripping or a door sweep. Measure the gap and choose a suitable material, such as foam, rubber, or vinyl. For wider gaps, you might need a door threshold. Ensure proper alignment and secure the sealant for optimal insulation and protection against drafts.
