Custom exterior timber doors – connecting to the outdoors
Exterior timber doors can provide large open spaces to decks, patios and gardens or more functional doors can give practical access to other parts of the property. Choose the configuration, proportions and amount of glazing to suit both the architecture and the way you use the space.

Exterior timber doors designed for your home or building
Our exterior doors are manufactured specifically for the building and its location, taking account of weather exposure, dimensions, glazing, security and everyday use.
Options include:
- Hinged exterior doors
- French and double doors
- Bifold doors
- Sliding doors
- Pivot doors
- Glazed doors
- Stable-style doors
- Oversized or custom-shaped doors
- Coordinated doors, sidelights and overlights
- Traditional and contemporary designs
We can incorporate Thermawood double glazing, Low-E glass, multipoint locking, quality seals and suitable heavy-duty hardware.
Timber type, coatings, sill details, glazing and hardware should be selected according to the door's exposure to various elements (e.g. the sea) and intended use. Centor insect screens can also be integrated into suitable door systems when included early in the design process.
Open up your living spaces to entertaining areas
For rooms that lead onto a deck, patio or entertaining area, the way your doors open can completely change the connection between indoors and out.
-
Bifold timber doors can fold back to create a wide opening, making them ideal when you want the two spaces to function almost as one. Custom configurations allow the panels and opening direction to be designed around the available space.
-
Sliding timber doors are a great option for large glazed openings without requiring space for doors to swing or fold. They can bring in plenty of natural light and preserve views even when the doors are closed. They can also be a good choice in very exposed windy locations.
- French doors offer a more traditional way to open a room to the outdoors and work particularly well in villas, bungalows and character homes. They can also be custom designed with cleaner detailing for more contemporary architecture.
You may want a solid timber door for privacy and security, glazing or sidelights so you can see who is outside, or large glazed doors that provide easy access to a deck, patio or entertaining area. We can help you consider the practical requirements alongside the architecture, including access, security, privacy, natural light, views and weather exposure.
