External Wooden Door & Frame FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about our external wooden door and frame sets for sale.

How do I measure for external wooden doors with frames?

To get a precise fit for your new external door frames, measure the brickwork opening in three places for both width and height. 

Always use the smallest dimension and deduct 10 mm to allow for a square, level installation. Subtracting that 10 mm fitting tolerance creates enough room to shim and seal the frame correctly during installation.

Follow these steps for an accurate measurement:

1. Width: Measure at the top, middle and bottom of the opening.

2. Height: Measure at the left, centre, and right from the lintel to the threshold.

3. Check squareness: Measure the diagonals of the opening to ensure it is square and true.

Are external wood doors & frames easy to install?

Although we don’t offer installation, we’ve designed our external door and frame sets to be as straightforward as possible. Installing a new external door requires patience and the right tools to ensure the external door frame is perfectly plumb and weather-tight. 

To get it right the first time:

• Check that your opening is square before starting, as a level frame is essential for smooth operation. 

• Ensure all fixings are secure and the threshold is correctly bedded to prevent draughts and keep your home weather-tight.

How do I maintain wooden exterior doors & frames?

Follow these simple steps to preserve the quality of the external door frame:

1. Regularly wipe the door surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent to prevent abrasive grit and dust build-up.

2. Periodically check the top and bottom edges for small cracks or fading, as these areas require immediate touch-ups to prevent moisture intrusion.

3. Lightly sand and recoat if the surface begins to look dull to ensure long-term protection and smooth operation.
