Replacing a door sounds straightforward until you are standing in front of forty options and realise you are not entirely sure what you need. Internal or external. Solid or glazed. Whether the existing door frame is worth keeping or needs to come out with it. Newlands has been helping customers through these decisions since the 1930s. The range covers internal and external doors, fire doors, and oak options for projects where a standard flush panel is not going to be right.
The difference between internal and external doors is more than a location question. External wooden doors take weather exposure that internal doors do not, and the construction and finish requirements are considerably different as a result. Newlands stocks both, drawing from suppliers whose products hold up over time rather than just at the point of sale.
LPD Doors supply a broad range of internal and external doors across multiple styles, from clean flush designs through to more traditional panelled options, at prices that suit both domestic and trade budgets. XL Joinery are particularly strong on the oak end of the range, producing well-finished doors that sit between budget catalogue options and bespoke joinery. JB Kind cover the solid hardwood and quality oak end of the offer, and their range suits renovation projects where the door needs to match existing period joinery rather than stand out from it.
Oak doors have become the default for renovation work and new builds where the interior finish matters. Oak stains and finishes well, but the thing most people notice first is the weight. A solid oak door closes differently to a hollow-core option. It sits in the frame more permanently, and that quality holds ten years in when cheaper doors have started to show their age. Newlands stocks prefinished and unfinished oak doors across multiple styles.
Fire doors are a requirement in most new builds and in many older properties being extended or converted. Newlands stocks FD30 rated fire doors alongside standard internal options, which means you can spec the right door for the right location without going to a specialist supplier separately.
A new door needs the right frame. Newlands stocks door frames in a range of sizes to suit both standard and non-standard openings. The team can advise on what works with your chosen door before you commit to a size.
Door handles, door hinges, and the rest of the door accessories that tend to get forgotten until last make up a full section of the Newlands range. Lever handles and knob sets are stocked alongside letter plates and fixings. Getting the hardware at the same time as the door matters more than most people expect. Backset measurements vary between door styles. Ordering handles separately and finding out they do not fit is an avoidable problem.
The showroom has doors on display and brochures covering the full range from each supplier. If you are replacing multiple doors or working to a specific scheme, coming in to look at options in person saves a lot of back and forth. The team knows the range well and can work through sizes, styles, and spec with you before anything gets ordered.
