Measure the existing leaf at several points for width, height and thickness, then check the frame, handing and required clearances.
Internal and External Doors for Every Opening
A door has to suit the opening before colour or panel detail enters the conversation. MacBlair stocks internal and external doors for renovation and new-build work, with choices spanning finished timber looks, ready-primed surfaces and doors intended for painting.
For rooms and hallways, internal white oak doors bring visible grain into the scheme, while white primed internal doors shorten the preparation needed before the final coat. Paint-grade doors give more freedom where the colour needs to match walls, trim or existing joinery.
External openings call for doors made for weather exposure and security, not an internal leaf pressed into the wrong job. Measure the existing leaf and frame carefully, confirm thickness, handing and trimming limits, then select compatible door furniture and ironmongery. Fire-rated locations must use a complete compliant doorset and hardware installed to the manufacturer’s evidence.
Internal Doors FAQ's
No. Internal doors are not made for external weather exposure or entrance security. Choose a door intended for exterior use.
Trimming allowances vary by construction and fire rating. Check the manufacturer’s limits before cutting any edge.
Door furniture is often selected separately. Check the product details and match hinges, handles and latches to the door.
Requirements depend on the building and location. Follow Building Regulations, the door certification and professional installation guidance.
