An oversized front door typically exceeds standard dimensions, offering greater width and height for a grand entrance. Benefits include enhanced curb appeal, improved accessibility for mobility devices, and easier movement of large items in and out of your home.

Standard residential front doors in London usually range from 762mm to 915mm in width and between 2000mm and 2135mm in height. These dimensions are designed to accommodate most homes while ensuring ease of installation and functionality.

Oversized front doors, like those from the D72 range, are typically 72mm thick. This increased thickness provides better insulation, soundproofing, and durability compared to standard 35mm doors.

Element finishes replicate the look of natural patinas found in Corten steel but without the maintenance challenges. Element finishes offer consistent colour, require almost no upkeep, and do not cause staining from water runoff, unlike Corten steel.

Fingerprint door entry systems, like those from Navkom, are primarily designed for aluminium doors due to their thickness. However, alternative systems are available for steel doors, and composite doors often use battery-powered Bluetooth or wireless options.

Fingerprint door entry systems are highly secure, with the scanner and control panel being separate to prevent tampering. The system also cannot be hacked via the internet as it operates offline, ensuring robust security for your home.

PAS24 accreditation sets the standard for enhanced security performance in doors, ensuring they can resist common burglary techniques. This certification is crucial for homeowners who want to ensure their front door provides maximum protection.

Recessed handles on aluminium doors offer a sleek, modern appearance and can be customised with LED lighting for added style. These handles are available in various lengths and colours, allowing for a highly personalised design.

The Navkom X-Manager app allows you to control your door remotely via your smartphone, receive notifications about door activity, and assign access permissions. It can also integrate with smart home systems like Alexa for added convenience.

The Manor Door Company offers a wide range of materials and finishes for front door handles, including stainless steel, gold, and powder-coated options. Handles can be customised to match the door’s colour or stand out as a feature, with additional options like fingerprint scanners and LED lighting.
