TrADITIONAL FRONT DOOR DESIGN
Traditional Front Doors That Suit the Character of Your Home
Traditional front doors are defined by panelled designs, decorative glazing, heritage colours and carefully chosen hardware that work with the character of the property. From cottages and Victorian homes to 1930s semis and newer houses with a more classic style, the right door can make the entrance feel properly considered.
At Doorquay, you can explore traditional styles across our composite door and uPVC door ranges, then personalise the colour, glass and finishing details around your home. Start with the online door designer, browse the brochures at your own pace, book an in-home appointment or visit our Dundee design space to compare the options in person.

TRADITIONAL FRONT DOOR STYLE
What Makes a Front Door Feel Traditional?
Traditional front doors are shaped by balanced proportions, panelled designs, decorative glass and finishing details that suit the character of the home. Our composite door and uPVC ranges offer a low-maintenance alternative to timber, giving you the warmth and detail of a classic entrance without the regular painting and upkeep.
Raised panels, moulded detailing and more traditional proportions give the door a familiar, established look. These styles work particularly well with cottages, Victorian and Edwardian properties, 1930s homes and newer houses designed with classic features.
Bevelled, patterned and stained-glass-inspired designs can bring light into the hallway while adding character to the entrance. Choose from smaller feature panes, larger glazed panels or matching sidelights depending on the style of your home.
Deep green, sapphire blue, black, red, cream and woodgrain finishes can all create a more traditional feel. Complete the design with classic knockers, handles, letterplates and decorative hardware chosen to complement the door rather than overpower it.
Built for Security and Warmth
Traditional Style, Modern Security and Warmth
A traditional front door can bring classic character to your home without relying on outdated performance. Our composite door and uPVC door ranges combine heritage-inspired designs with tested security, insulated construction and energy-efficient glazing. We’ll help you compare the specifications so you can choose the right door for your home, priorities and budget.
Our traditional front doors are designed to meet PAS 24 security standards, with Secured by Design options available across parts of our range. Reinforced construction, multipoint locking, high-security cylinders and securely fitted glazing help create a complete doorset designed to resist common methods of forced entry.
Insulated door construction, effective weather seals and energy-efficient glass help reduce draughts and heat loss around the entrance. Selected composite doors can achieve energy ratings up to A++, with double- and triple-glazed options available to deliver low U-values without compromising the traditional look of the design.
The security and thermal performance of your new door also depend on how well it is fitted. Every Doorquay front door is made to measure and installed by our own joinery team, helping the complete doorset seal properly, lock securely and operate smoothly for everyday use.

Greg, Broughty Ferry
I dont know where to start. What a service I got when ordering my new front door. Lorraine was so nice it was like talking with your best pal not an agent providing door's.
The door was delivered and fitted within 4 weeks which was great as our old door was useless.
Lynne, Dundee
What can I say, an absolutely brilliant service from Lorraine from start to finish, and an expert finish by Kenny and his team. We went for Rockdoors front and back, and on the day of installation there was no mess, no hassle and just x2 solid, secure and well fitting doors.

Arlene, St. Andrews
Amazing service from Lorraine and the team, from initial chat to installation. Every step of the way, the customer service was first class, and exceeded all expectations. Kenny and Paul were amazing with the fitting, so delighted with the end result and the finish is perfect!

Tracy, Dundee
So happy with my new door. First class. The standard of workmanship from the team was to the highest standards. So good that I’ll be in touch soon to get my windows replaced.
Highly recommend Doorquay doors.
Gary, Cupar
Excellent people to deal with. Lorraine is really friendly and a joy to converse with. Lovely discussion at design stage with pro/cons gone over to get the best choice. Always kept in the loop about progress of each stage, even coming over on fitting day to check on things.
