FAQ About External Stable Doors

What is a stable door?

A stable door is split horizontally into two independent halves. You can open the top for ventilation and light while the bottom stays closed and secure, which is handy for keeping pets and toddlers in while letting fresh air through.

Are external stable doors secure?

Yes. Our external stable doors use solid construction and quality locking, and the two halves can be bolted together to work as a single secure door when closed.

What material are your external stable doors made from?

Our stable doors are made from solid oak and dense hardwood, chosen for strength, weather resistance, and a natural grain, with glazed and unglazed options available.

Can stable doors be glazed?

Yes. A glazed top half lets in more light, with clear or obscure glass options. You can also choose a fully solid stable door for greater privacy and security.

What is the difference between a straight and curved head stable door?

It refers to the shape of the top of the door. A straight head has a flat top, while a curved head has a gently arched top for a softer, more traditional cottage look.

Where are stable doors usually fitted?

Stable doors suit kitchens, utility rooms, boot rooms, and back or side entrances. Originally designed for farmhouses, they are now popular in cottages, period homes, and modern properties alike.

What sizes do external stable doors come in, and can they be made to measure?

We stock common UK standard sizes and make stable doors to measure for non-standard openings. Measure the width, height, and thickness of the opening, and use the smallest reading if measurements vary.

Do stable doors keep draughts out?

Yes. When closed, weather seals and a solid rebate between the two halves keep draughts and rain out, so the door stays as weather-tight as a standard external door.
