News and Updates on all things door from Doordeals

January 2010 - High Security and Style from Pre Hung Door Sets

Being safe and secure in your home is a top priority for most households and fitting new exterior doors is a great way to update your home security. Another bonus of choosing pre hung door sets is that they come with everything included so your door can be fully fitted without the hassle of measuring for and fitting components such as frames, hinges and locks. It is the high levels of security these doors offer which make them an ideal choice for the home as the locks are integrated into the doors before they are fitted and you can even choose the type of lock you prefer for your door.

We are pleased to announce that we will be adding many more pre hung door sets to doordeals.co.uk which is good news if you’re looking for a sturdy and secure door with multiple benefits to protect your home.

There are loads of reasons why pre hung door sets are an excellent choice for your new exterior doors including the following;

Security features

With our range of pre hung external door sets you can choose which type of multi-locking system you prefer for your door with options including nightlatch and deadlocks and multipoint locks which meet British Safety Standards. These external doors are also fitted with security hinges which increase safety by preventing intruders from being able to tamper with the hinges and gain access to your property.

Protection from the elements

Pre hung external door sets feature Stormguard thresholds which are tough flexible seals which provide a barrier against the wettest weather and are specially designed to allow trapped water and condensation to drain away from the door without damaging the wood. These external doors also feature a Weatherbar rain deflector to prevent water from seeping under the door in rainy weather.

Finishing touches

The overall look of your external door is just as important as the security and weather resistance it offers so you can choose from a range of chrome or brass hardware including handles, hinges and even an optional letter plate to complement the look of your door.

To browse a collection of practical, secure and beautiful pre hung door sets check out the selection in our external doors category. If you would like to find out more about our pre hung door sets then please call our team on 0114 273 9496 or contact us via email on info@doordeals.co.uk.

At Doordeals we are proud to offer our customers exactly what they want which is why we create custom sized doors to suit our customers’ specific requirements. Often a bespoke service means spending lots of money but this isn’t the case with the custom sized doors at Doordeals as they are available at very competitive prices.

Finding a door to suit an unusually shaped doorway such as a cellar door, under stairs door or an attic room door can mean having to buy a regular door and cut it down to size. This is not only a time consuming and messy job but it also means you won’t have the polished overall look you were hoping to achieve. Simply ordering a custom sized door from us means that you will receive a beautiful door which fits exactly in the door frame and will maintain its proportions, instead of having chunks cut off so it fits.

The range of custom sized doors at Doordeals is extensive and includes both external and interior doors in a range of woods including oak, hardwood and softwood. As part of the custom sized door range you will also find French doors, fire doors and garage doors and gates so no matter what look you require, we will be able to create a door that’s right for you.

One of the most popular custom sized doors is the classically styled oak four panel fire door which can be made to order for around £250 and will look stunning in any home as well as increasing fire safety. As with many of our doors, this oak door can be made to any size to suit your requirements and is a real bargain.

To find out more about the type of doors we can custom make for you check out the custom sized external door or custom sized interior door categories or contact us on 0114 273 9496 for more information.

There has been a new development with our internal oak doors. Our River Oak internal door range, which includes the Trent, Dove, Derwent, Churnet, Mersey, Humber, Tyne and Clyde. You are now able to reduce them on the width by up to 12mm down each side, so if you have unusually shaped frames, or narrower than standard doors, or perhaps you wanted a pair of oak room dividers which were rebated.
