What to check before you buy

Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.

As standard, the work covers:

• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
