Back doors

A bespoke timber back door is often the hardest-working entrance in a British home, requiring a perfect balance of utility, thermal efficiency, and high-level security. At Highgate Joinery, we craft durable external doors that range from traditional stable doors—perfect for cottages where you want to let in fresh air while keeping pets or small children safely inside—to elegant glazed kitchen doors that draw natural light into the heart of your home. Whether your property requires a simple, robust solid timber design or a half-glazed pattern to match existing windows, our master joiners ensure every door is built to withstand the rigours of daily use and the unpredictable British weather.

Because back doors are often located in more exposed or shaded areas of a property, we manufacture our frames and leaves using Accoya® as standard. This modified timber is virtually rot-proof and exceptionally stable, ensuring the door won’t swell or warp, which maintains a consistent weather seal throughout the year. For total peace of mind, we integrate modern multi-point locking systems and toughened double glazing, providing the same level of security and insulation as our primary front doors. From utility room entrances to garden-facing kitchen doors, we provide a complete bespoke service from our local workshop, tailored to the specific functional needs of your home.
