This stunning timber door replacement project is in our home village of Kingscliffe. Our client was looking for a door replacement that would let more light into the hallway and do this stunning stone-built detached home justice.
Mrs Reed said:
“Living locally to Kingscliffe, we knew about Kingscliffe Joinery and their Türmacher Door brand. They have a good reputation for quality timber products.
“We moved into the property in December 2019. The house is only 7 years old, so there were very little changes we wanted to make other than the front door! The style the previous owners had chosen was very ugly, it didn’t give good kerb appeal to the house – it was just very out of place with the rest of the design features.
“We approached Paul and the Kingscliffe Joinery team to help us. As they’re just around the corner, we called into the workshop for a chat and had a really good conversation with Paul about what we were looking for. My husband had seen a few doors he liked whilst he was out and about on his bike, so Paul asked us to take some photographs of them so he could get a real understanding of the kind of thing we were looking for.
“The team were friendly, helpful and accommodating and brilliant at putting together a design that incorporated our ideas, as well as making great suggestions that could only come from experience! We were planning to add a letter to plate to the timber door slab, but Paul’s suggestion of having a letterbox on the wall instead works really well for the house.
“Unfortunately, shortly after we had finalised our design, the Covid-19 pandemic hit and lockdown meant that the workshop closed. Once Kingscliffe reopened, there were a few more delays with materials, but Paul and the team kept us in the loop with what was happening every step of the way.
“Our installation went ahead on the hottest day of the year last summer! The installation team had a bit of a job on their hands as the old door proved tricky to remove but they did a fantastic job. Everything was left clean and tidy and the following day the team came back to take care of some final details.
“We’re really pleased with our new door, and maybe it’s just village life, but we’ve even had compliments from our neighbours on how great it looks!”
The timber door which was designed for this project features three obscured glazed panels to let in the light from outside whilst maintaining privacy. The classic timber finish in Clear Lacquer gives true traditional character to this beautiful stone-built property in Kingscliffe.

Decorative handles
Choosing the right handles for your timber entrance door is really important. We offer lever handles, centre door knobs or pull handles. Lever handles are a classic choice, which can be either classic or contemporary depending on the design or finish. Door knobs are a time-honoured, traditional option that create a standout feature on your timber door, while pull handles add a clean, sleek and modern twist to timber doors.
For a truly authentic timber door feature, we recommend the Stonebridge range.

Secure locking systems
Our German-engineered timber entrance doors are all PAS 24 certified and feature multi-point locking systems for top security, giving you peace of mind that your home is protected against any unexpected intruders.
Concealed hinges
We offer Simonswerk Tectus hinges with our timber doors. Tectus hinges are flush and concealed leaving you with a sleek entrance door with straight, clean lines.
Available in a wide range of colours and finishes, the hinges can completely blend into the background when the door is closed, and add a pop of style when the door is open.
Weatherproof thresholds
We protect all of our timber doors from the great British weather with our high strength door thresholds.
Our timber entrance doors are finished with BUVA IsoStone thresholds, which are designed to prevent rotting and will not absorb water to make for a longer lasting timber door.
As well as this, the thresholds are dimensionally stable, and won’t twist, warp, bend, bow or move.
Thanks to the twin-chamber GRP (glass reinforced plastic) structure, BUVA thresholds are practically unbreakable. The strong and highly secure thresholds can be used in top security doors for effective protection against any unexpected intruders.
BUVA IsoStone thresholds provide a 15mm upstand for easy accessibility. Low threshold entrance doors make entering and exiting the home easier for elderly people, wheelchairs, pushchairs, children and pets.
