Sometimes, the little signs tell you it’s time for a change. For one of our customers, it was gaps appearing around his old front door - and the uncomfortable draughts creeping through, especially in the evenings.
For our customer in Montrose, it wasn’t just about the cold. A worn, ill-fitting door can compromise security, energy efficiency, and the overall comfort of your home. So, after chatting with his sister (who’d had a Rockdoor fitted herself and couldn’t recommend it highly enough), he got in touch with us at Doorquay to find a better solution.
Why the Rockdoor Jacobean?
When it comes to external doors, Rockdoor is one of the UK’s most trusted names. Built to last, every composite door is designed with strength, insulation, and security in mind - giving you peace of mind as well as kerb appeal.
Our customer chose the Rockdoor Jacobean, a style that’s a real favourite for homeowners who want:
Classic design with elegant glazing panels.
Natural light flowing into the hallway without compromising on privacy.
A timeless, adaptable look that works with both traditional and modern homes.
As a Rockdoor Trusted Installer, we know just how popular the Jacobean design is for homeowners who want security and efficiency - but also want their front door to make a statement.
From Draughty to Draught-Free
The difference was immediate. His old door was letting in cold air around the frame, making it harder to keep the home warm and increasing heating costs.
By upgrading to a Rockdoor, with its robust construction and advanced weather seals, those draughts are gone. The house feels warmer, quieter, and more comfortable - a small change with a big impact, especially heading into the colder months.
Anthracite Grey: Timeless & Modern
Choosing a finish can sometimes feel like the hardest part - but in this case, Anthracite Grey was the perfect fit.
Against the home’s natural stonework, it creates a smart contrast: modern without being stark, timeless without being too traditional. Grey is one of our most requested colours because it works beautifully across all kinds of homes in Dundee, Fife, and Perth - subtle, stylish, and built to look great for years to come.
A Family Recommendation That Made the Difference
What makes this story even better is the personal connection. After seeing his sister’s Rockdoor and hearing about her experience, our customer felt confident in making the investment himself.
There’s no better endorsement than a family recommendation - and we’re always proud when our work inspires word-of-mouth referrals. It’s proof that quality doors, expert installation, and personal service leave a lasting impression.
Installed with Care
Every installation we carry out is done by skilled door fitters who take the time to get it right. A door can only perform as well as it’s installed, which is why we pride ourselves on precision fitting and a tidy finish. No shortcuts, no draughts, no hassle - just a front door that does its job properly.
