Composite Double Doors

Rockdoor is the UK’s leading manufacturer that has been producing high quality  double doors for many years. We can create an entrance that both exudes sophistication and style, whilst keeping you and your family secure.

Many years ago, double doors were considered to be insecure, but that needn’t enter your mind when choosing a Rockdoor double door. In fact, you can get carried away in designing your perfect door, safe in the knowledge your double door will be secure. Rockdoor were the first manufacturer in the UK to be given the Secured by Design accreditation.

Not only will you be provided with a pair of secure entrance doors, but you will also receive a stylish and long-lasting look to your home, with designs and combinations to suit both traditional and contemporary homes.

Whilst they look similar, it’s important we highlight the main differences as its all to do with the lock used.

Double door locks use only one key to operate the main door. When the main door is opened, it then allows you to manually open the secondary door, through the use of finger bolts which are attached to the door leaf. These finger bolts secure the door into the outerframe.

This means if choosing a lever handle, only one door leaf will feature a handle. If choosing a bar handle though, we can still attach these to both door leaf’s as they aren’t connected to the locking system in the same way as a lever handle, but you will have only one escutcheon. To ensure complete security, the secondary door must always have the finger bolts engaged into the outerframe. 

French doors however, allow lever handles to be used on both sides of the doors, as two mechanical locks are used. This also means French doors can’t be chosen with bar handles.

We have been manufacturing double doors for many years here at Rockdoor, which have kept both families and properties secure. So, if you are looking to create a stunning entrance by using double doors, then you don’t have to worry about them being less secure.

Most door styles in the Rockdoor collection are available as double doors. So, whether you are looking for a solid style or a style with glass included, we can tailor our double doors to suit.

Rockdoor double doors feature a key-operated lock on one door leaf, with finger bolts on the other door leaf. The key-operated lock features 2 steel hooks with 25mm throws, which engage into pocket keeps located on the secondary door. The secondary door then has finger bolts, which need to be manually opened and closed to operate the secondary door. 

We have the utmost confidence that potential intruders will be unable to gain entry to your property by picking or manipulating the lock, and that all our Avocet 3* Cylinders come with a £2,000 security guarantee.
