Black Traditional Timber Entrance Door, Wirral

Black Victorian Front Door, Wirral

The homeowners of a former church building on the Wirral which is now an outstanding family home wanted to replace both their entrance and side door. We worked closely with the homeowners to design a door that was both grand enough to suit the building and also period appropriate for the age of the building.

The base of the door is a very traditional Victorian 6 panel door hand crafted from hardwood timber and finished externally with a deep No10 black and contrasting brass hardware. The paint process includes a 5-stage application to ensure the perfect finish as well as achieving a great weather seal on the doors timber core.

When opening the doors you can instantly feel the quality of the door thanks to the smooth operating locking system as well as the overall weight off the door. The door operated extremely smoothly thanks to the high quality ball bearing hinges.

We have developed a range of timber entrance doors which we manufacture to our own design and specification. Our timber door range from The Knight Collection has been designed to offer a premium quality door which can be customised to suit any home. This door range is particularly suited to high end contemporary homes and period properties which require something special to create the perfect grand entrance.
