Are timber French doors secure?
Our timber French doors are Secured by Design and tested to PAS 24:2016. They come with multipoint locking systems and the best cylinder locks, which perform exceptionally well in security tests.

How do French doors perform in bad weather?
‘A’ rated as standard, the performance of our timber French windows is excellent, and they meet or exceed the latest building regulations. Our attention to detail with dual-seal meeting rails means they perform as well as a single door.
Are Timber French Doors prone to leaking?
External French doors that are made to modern manufacturing standards and installed correctly should not leak water into your home. If your timber French doors happen to be older and worn down, they may be more susceptible to leaking.
Check our repair and maintenance page for more information on getting your timber French doors back to their best.
Is it better to have timber French doors open in or out?
In order to maximise internal floor space, fitting outward-swinging external timber French doors would be your ideal choice. However, alternatively, if you wish to maximise patio and garden space, there are inward swinging French doors.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to preference.
How secure are our Timber French Doors?
Security is a key feature of our external timber French doors. They include advanced multipoint locking systems, toughened glass, and high-quality timber that resists forced entry, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners.
