The business which supplies throughout Essex, the Home Counties and nationwide (only some of Scotland), offers composite doors and works in partnership with four of the UK’s top door manufacturers – Door-Stop International, Truedor, Solidor and Rock Door. The doors are available to buy online to the trade and the public’s specification on a supply only basis. Fitting is available in certain areas at an extra cost. Homeowners can take advantage of an easy to use online design tool, selecting their own colours and style of hardware. They can even upload a photo of their home to see exactly how their new door will look on their house. Typical prices for doors start from around £500.00. But some special offers mean doors can be purchased for £399. There is also an online measuring and fitting guide if customers want to fit their own door, although Front Door does have a number of fitters in certain areas who will provide this service. Company owner TJ said: “It is about hassle free ordering all done online. Customers can design their doors, get exact prices, choose colours, see if they like the glass and shape of their door. People don’t have to give out any unnecessary ‘Customers can design their doors, get exact prices, choose colours, see if they like the glass and shape of their door.

And as far as customers go, if someone wants to order a door at midnight because they are a shift SPECIAL worker, then they can.” TJ, who has been in the double glazing business for 16 years, started Front Door in 2013 as an alternative venture. Now, he has a showroom with 15 doors displayed and his own website offering thousands of door combinations which can all be designed online. He said: “One of the most popular doors is a black door with a white frame and chrome hardware. We also have a supplier (Truedor) who will specially mix paint colours to RAL codes – one customer ordered a canary yellow door.” www.front-door.co.uk 01268 490737 [email protected] www.front-door.co.uk OFFER Fittings included 3 keys Low ali threshold Multipoint lock 150 sill Adjustable hinges Dog bolts Stippolyte glass FREE delivery* www.front-door.co.uk/truedor-door-designer Any of these 3 doors for £499.00 inc VAT Many more designs to choose from online *Delivery to mainland UK, only certain areas of Scotland
