French Doors and Double Doors
French doors to brighten and open up your home
Hinged French doors are simply two doors, hinged on either side and meeting in the middle. We love them for their timeless look, versatility and the beautiful wide opening they create.
They bring in natural light and are perfect for both exterior and interior spaces, connecting living areas to patios, decks and gardens, creating beautiful side entries, or joining dining rooms, family rooms, playrooms and home offices while still letting you close the space off.

Let customers speak for us
Absolutely love our front door!
We absolutely love our new Lilydale door! It’s exactly the look we were hoping for and has made such a beautiful difference to the front of our home. The quality and attention to detail are lovely, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Absolutely beautiful doors!
Absolutely beautiful doors! Very happy with the service, product and delivery. Highly recommend!
Claire
Beautiful and elegant doors
I couldn’t be happier with our new Burleigh internal doors. They are absolutely beautiful and have brought a real sense of elegance to our entire home.
The shaker profile looks crisp, classic and timeless. If you want to instantly elevate the look and feel of your interiors, I highly recommend these. They look gorgeous and feel like premium luxury!
Anne
Beautiful, practical and such a clever design
We absolutely love our Breeze door. I knew I wanted a timber front door that would add some warmth and character to our new build, but I didn’t love the idea of covering it with a separate screen door.
The 2-in-1 design gave us exactly what we were looking for. We can have the beautiful timber door as our entrance, then open it up to use the built-in screen when we want fresh air through the house without letting every fly in with it!
The quality and detail are beautiful, and now that it’s installed it has completely changed the feel of our entrance. I especially love being able to let the winter sun and fresh country air in while still having the screen closed.
Such a clever idea and genuinely one of my favourite choices we’ve made for our home. 🤎

Nantucket Door
We’ve just had the Nantucket external door installed and love it. It’s transformed the look of the house, especially the hallway. I loved the look of this door and it lets so much light in to our hallway without compromising security.

we purchased the Ivy door with sidelights and custom hi-lite
we purchased the Ivy door with sidelights and custom hi-lite. I am a designer and work in the building industry.
This company are faultless to deal with. Their product is exceptional; the build quality and materials are five star. everything is made from solid timber and will last forever. Their pricing was very competitive and surprised our builder when he saw what we got for the money.

WHERE THEY COME FROM
A short history
Symmetry, proportion and grandeur
The Renaissance was under way in Italy. Symmetry, proportion and grandeur were becoming especially important, and a matching pair of doors suited that look perfectly.
Tall windows for light
Electric light didn't exist yet. Practical bulbs only arrived around 1879 to 1880. So Italian architects built tall, nearly full-height windows to bring natural daylight into a building.
Glass was expensive, so those tall openings were divided into small panes separated by glazing bars, also called muntins. That is why traditional French doors have glazing bars.
Glass was expensive, so those tall openings were divided into small panes separated by glazing bars, also called muntins. That is why traditional French doors have glazing bars.
The window becomes a door
French armies fought in Italy, and French architects were introduced to the style. They are credited with the next step: turning those full-height windows into doors, so you could step out onto a balcony. The French call it a porte-fenêtre, a "door-window".
Still a favourite
The style spread across the world, and it is still popular today for similar reasons. French doors let in plenty of natural light, and they divide spaces, both indoors and out.
Are French doors the same as double doors?
French doors
Defined by their glass. That comes straight from the history: tall windows made to let in light, divided into small panes, then turned into doors.
Double doors
A general term for any pair of doors. They can be solid timber, part glass or all glass.
Double doors is the umbrella term. French doors are the glazed kind.
FAQs
What are French doors?
French doors are simply two doors, hinged on either side and meeting in the middle.
Compared to sliders, stackers or bifolds, French doors can also be a more affordable way to create a generous opening, while giving your home a much more classic feel.
Can I use French doors inside my home?
Yes! They’re perfect for both exterior and interior applications- connecting living spaces to patios, decks and gardens, creating beautiful front or side entries, or connecting interior spaces such as dining rooms, family rooms, playrooms and home offices while still providing the option for separation.
How do I get French doors from you?
Buy two of our doors and have your carpenter hang them together in a French door configuration or we can supply your doors pre-hung together in a frame, ready for installation.
What does pre-hung mean?
A pre-hung door is supplied already installed within a frame.
Pre-hung doors are commonly used in new builds or full door replacements and can simplify installation.
Can I paint or stain the doors?
Our external doors are available in two finish options:
- Pre-Primed - Ready for painting, and
- Natural Timber - Ready for staining, oiling or painting
Timber Options
- Meranti (Standard Range)
All of our standard, off-the-shelf external doors are manufactured from Meranti. Meranti is a premium, durable hardwood commonly used in Australian joinery, with a warm, neutral colour tone that is well suited to both painted and stained finishes. However, Meranti doors should be installed with adequate overhead protection and should not be fully exposed to the elements. For fully exposed environments, we recommend selecting an alternative timber via a custom order. - American Oak
A popular choice for its beautiful grain, character and lighter blonde tones. American Oak must be installed in a fully protected position with no direct sun exposure and is not suitable for exposed locations. - Other Hardwoods (Custom Orders)
For doors exposed to higher levels of sun, wind or weather, we recommend custom manufacturing in a more suitable hardwood.
Rose Gum is typically used for our custom external doors, which are manufactured locally. Rose Gum is a dense Australian hardwood that offers excellent strength and durability and may be better suited to higher-exposure environments when correctly specified and maintained.
Depending on availability, it may also be possible to manufacture doors in Blackbutt, Tasmanian Oak, Spotted Gum or other suitable hardwoods by request.
Please refer to our Exposure Table for guidance on timber selection and protection requirements.
Care & Finishing
All external timber doors must be sealed on all six sides prior to installation.
Timber is a natural material. Movement, expansion and contraction are normal characteristics of solid timber doors.
Very dark paint colours (including black) are not recommended for sun-exposed doors, as darker colours absorb more heat and may increase timber movement, coating failure and the risk of warping.
Is hardware included?
Handles and hinges are not included with your door - they’re sold separately and fitted by your carpenter during installation.
We stock a wide range of handles to suit every style, plus the hinges you’ll need for installation.
