Frequently asked questions
Are French doors secure?
Yes. Every set we fit comes with multipoint locking — hooks and bolts that engage at several points up and down the frame when you lift the handle, which is far harder to force than a single lock. The second door bolts into the frame top and bottom to hold it firm. Our team fits each one so it's hung square and the locking lines up exactly as it should.
French doors or patio doors — which is better for my room?
It depends on your space. French doors swing open on hinges for a wide, traditional opening, but they need floor space to swing into. Sliding patio doors glide along a track and take up no swing space, so they suit tighter rooms or larger glazed runs. Give Donna a ring and we'll talk through both — there's no hard sell, and if a patio door suits you better we'll say so. See our patio doors page for more.
How much do French doors cost in Leeds?
There's no honest one-size price — it depends on the size of the opening, the frame material (uPVC, aluminium or timber-effect), the glass spec, and whether you add side panels. The only accurate figure is the one James gives you once he's measured the opening, and there's no pressure with it. You can also spread the cost with finance.
Do you handle the Building Regulations paperwork?
Yes. We're registered with CERTASS, a government-authorised competent-person scheme that's the equivalent of FENSA. That means we register your new doors to Building Regulations for you and self-certify the work, so there's no separate application to the council to chase up.
