Front Doors
Make the main entrance your own with front doors available in a wide range of styles, materials, colours and glazing options.
Back Doors
Practical, secure back doors with composite, uPVC and glazed options for kitchens, utility rooms and everyday access.
Patio Doors
Bifold, French and sliding patio external door systems that open up your home - well-fitted, light-filled, and crafted to keep the home warm through winter.
Fire Doors
FD30S-rated external fire doors for homes in Dundee, Angus and Fife - fitted to regulations by our joiners, with a focus on safety, design and a clean finish.
Composite Doors
Composite doors are a popular choice for front and back doors, offering premium strength, style and low-maintenance performance in one customisable design.
uPVC Doors
uPVC doors are a practical, cost-effective choice for front doors, back doors and side entrances, offering simple style, good insulation and everyday durability.
French Doors
French doors are a classic choice for garden access, bringing in natural light, easy outdoor flow and a more traditional feel than sliding or bifold doors.
Bifold Doors
Bifold doors are a modern choice for wider openings, bringing in natural light, flexible garden access and a more open connection between indoors and out.
Stable Doors
Stable doors are a characterful choice for back entrances, letting in fresh air and light while keeping everyday control, security and practicality.

REPLACING YOUR EXTERNAL DOORS
Why Replace an Old External Door?
Older external doors can become harder to operate, less secure and more prone to draughts over time. Replacing them gives you the opportunity to improve how the entrance looks, feels and performs, with modern materials, glazing and locking systems chosen around your home.
Improve Security
A modern external door can give you a stronger overall entrance, with robust construction, secure frames and locking systems designed for everyday protection.
Keep More Warmth In
Better-insulated door construction and glazing can help reduce draughts and heat loss, particularly when replacing an older or poorly fitting door.
Weather Protection
Modern external doors are designed to cope with regular exposure to wind and rain while remaining practical and low maintenance.
Refresh the Entrance
A replacement door can completely change the appearance of an entrance, with different styles, colours, glass and finishing details to suit the property.

EXTERNAL DOOR DESIGN
Choose the Details That Suit Your Home
The style of an external door is only part of the decision. Colour, glazing, hardware and finishing details all change how the entrance looks and how it works day to day. We’ll help you compare the options across the different door ranges and put together a specification that feels right for your home.
From traditional panelled designs to cleaner contemporary styles, there are external door options to suit different property types and entrances. If you’re focusing on the main entrance, you can explore our modern front doors for a more contemporary look or compare the wider front door range.
Glazing can change both the look of the door and the amount of natural light it brings into the home. Choose from more private glass, decorative designs or larger glazed areas, or explore our glazed front doors if light is a bigger part of the design.
Colour, handles and hardware can completely change the feel of an entrance. Our composite doors and uPVC doors each come with their own range of colours and finishes, while premium options such as Rockdoor offer an even wider choice of design details.
EXTERNAL DOOR PRICES
Improved Insulation, Security and Natural Light
A composite door will be priced differently from a uPVC door, while larger openings such as French doors, patio doors or bifold doors have their own specifications and fitting requirements. We’ll help you compare the options and provide a clear, fully fitted quote before anything is ordered.

External Door Replacement
From First Chat to Final Fit
At Doorquay, we make choosing a replacement exterior door for your home simple and supportive - because it’s not just about materials and measurements. It’s about feeling secure, enhancing your kerb appeal, and having a team you can rely on from start to finish.
Here’s how we make the process easy:
Design
It Starts With a Friendly Chat
We’ll help you finalise the door style, material, colour, glass, hardware and specification around your home and budget.
Technical Survey
No Guesswork, Just Precision
Before anything is ordered, we’ll carry out a final survey and measure the opening carefully so the specification can be checked properly.
Made to Order
Not Just Picked Off a Shelf
Your external door is then manufactured to suit the opening and the specification you’ve chosen.
Expert Installation
A New Look, Done in a Day
Our own joinery team will remove the existing door where required, fit the new one and make sure everything is operating properly before the job is finished.
EXTERNAL DOOR PERFORMANCE
Built for Security, Warmth & Everyday Use
An external door has to do more than look right. The construction, frame, glazing, locking system and quality of the installation all affect how secure, comfortable and dependable the entrance feels day to day.
A secure external door relies on the whole specification working together — from the door and frame to the locks, cylinder, glazing and hardware. We offer different levels of security across our range, including composite doors and premium Rockdoor options for homeowners who want to put security higher on the list.
Modern external doors are designed to limit heat loss and reduce draughts around the entrance. The door material, core, glazing and quality of the fit all make a difference, so we’ll help you compare the options if improving warmth and energy efficiency is part of the reason you’re replacing an older door.
Colour, handles and hardware can completely change the feel of an entrance. Our composite doors and uPVC doors each come with their own range of colours and finishes, while premium options such as Rockdoor offer an even wider choice of design details.
Discover the Difference with Rockdoor Composite Doors
Our premium composite door range from Rockdoor isn’t limited to front doors. The range includes Rockdoor front doors, back doors, stable doors and French doors, giving you the option to carry the same high level of security, build quality and design across different entrances around the home.
Rockdoor doors are built with a 50mm sash, high-density core and full-perimeter aluminium reinforcement for added strength and stability, with high-performance locking systems and secure cylinders adding another layer of protection.
As a Rockdoor Trusted Installer, our team is trained in Rockdoor products and fitting requirements, and can help you compare the different styles, colours, glass and specifications for each entrance.

One Team From Design to Installation
Choosing the door is only part of the project. We keep the process joined up from the first ideas through to survey, ordering and installation, with our own team helping you make the right choices along the way.
Compare door styles, colours, glass and hardware before you decide, either online, at our Dundee design space or during an in-home appointment.
Before anything is manufactured, we carry out a final technical survey and check the specification against the opening so everything is confirmed before the order is placed.
Your external doors are installed by our own experienced joinery team rather than passed to a third-party fitter, giving us more control over the quality of the finished job.
If you need us after fitting, you know who to come back to. We’ll explain the guarantee that applies to your chosen door, glazing and hardware and remain your point of contact once the installation is complete.

FAQS
Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here are the most common questions about exterior doors in Dundee, Angus, Fife and Perthshire ask when they are upgrading.
We supply and fit external doors for front, back and garden entrances, including front doors, back doors, composite doors, uPVC doors, French doors, sliding patio doors, bifold doors, stable doors and fire-rated front doors. We’ll help you compare the different options around the entrance, your home and how you want to use it.
The cost depends on the type of door, size of the opening and the specification you choose. Material, glazing, hardware, side panels, security upgrades and installation can all affect the final price. We’ll talk through the options first and provide a clear quote for your made-to-measure door and fitting before anything is ordered.
Both can work well, but they suit slightly different priorities. Composite doors generally offer a heavier construction and a wider range of premium design and security options, while uPVC doors can be a practical, low-maintenance choice at a different price point. We can help you compare them around the entrance you’re replacing rather than choosing on material alone.
Yes. Draughts, difficult locking, visible gaps, movement in the door or frame and a weathered finish are all common reasons homeowners decide to replace an external door. We’ll look at the existing opening, discuss what you want to improve and help you choose a made-to-measure replacement. If you’re based locally, you can also read more about our door replacement service in Dundee.
Yes. We manage the process from choosing your door and carrying out the final survey through to ordering and installation. Your new door is fitted by our own joinery team, with care taken over the frame, threshold, seals, locks, hardware and final finish. You can also find out more about our door fitting in Dundee and what happens during installation.
Most straightforward door replacements can usually be completed within a day once the made-to-measure door is ready, although larger openings or more involved installations may take longer. We’ll explain what to expect before installation is booked.
Yes, although the level of security varies between door ranges and specifications. The door construction, frame, glazing, locking system, cylinder and hardware all contribute to the security of the finished entrance. If security is especially high on your list, you can compare our composite doors and premium Rockdoor external doors in more detail.
Yes. External doors can be designed with anything from small decorative glazed panels to much larger areas of glass. If bringing more natural light into the home is important, you can explore glazed front doors, French doors and patio doors for different ways to add glazing while keeping the entrance practical and secure.
Yes. Our supplied and fitted external doors come with a 10-year guarantee, giving you reassurance after installation. We’ll explain the cover that applies to your chosen door, glazing and hardware before anything is ordered.
