Extra-wide front doors
What constitutes a wide front door?
A standard front door typically measures 900mm wide. However, at Deuren, we believe architectural grandeur shouldn’t be limited by what’s already available on the market. With our extra-wide front doors extending to 1,600mm – or even 2,400mm with our bespoke pivot front doors – carefully proportioned entrances can be curated to enhance larger façades with ease.
Increasing door width brings important design and technical considerations. Structural support, load distribution, threshold detailing, and visual balance must all be carefully managed to ensure the door feels refined while performing exceptionally. Proportion is key – particularly where wider doors sit within symmetrical elevations or alongside glazing.
Deuren’s made-to-measure front doors are designed to fit flawlessly within the exact opening and architectural context of the home. Whether subtly wider than standard or generously scaled, each curati
Why an extra-wide front door signals true grandeur
An extra-wide front door transforms how an entrance is experienced – from the very first interaction through to daily, continuous use. Wider doors create a sense of openness and confidence, offering a welcoming approach that feels both luxurious and practical. These statement pieces work effortlessly in contemporary homes, as well as in traditional or period properties where width enhances architectural symmetry and visual harmony.
Extra-wide front doors also improve proportional harmony across larger façades, helping the entrance feel grounded and composed rather than retrofit. When made entirely bespoke with Deuren – enriched with character in every detail, from style and configuration to materials, glazing, hardware, and even technology integrations – they become a defining feature that elevates kerb appeal and sets the tone for the home beyond.
Why Deuren is technically superior
Wide front doors demand more than aesthetic confidence – they require deep-rooted engineering expertise honed thoughtfully over decades. At Deuren, we bring this experience in abundance. Combining artisanal craftsmanship with best-in-class technology, we curate every large front entrance door to move effortlessly, feel reassuringly solid, and catch the eye without ever shouting for attention.
Each component, from the reinforced core to the bespoke hinges, glazing, and seals, is specified with such technical intricacy that scale never comes at the cost of performance or endurance. And, because every piece is made precisely to your measurements, proportions and finishes are balanced with a peerless instinct for harmony and flow. You can trust us to shape showstoppers that feel as natural in daily life as they do unforgettable at first sight.
Handcrafted in the UK
Every wide front door by Deuren is designed, crafted, and prepared for installation in our Yorkshire workshop. This hands-on approach ensures exceptional quality control, shorter lead times, and a reduced carbon footprint – alongside direct access to a team that understands the technical demands of large-scale entrance doors.
A considered and cohesive exterior
Our bespoke extra-wide front doors are designed to perfectly harmonise a home’s surrounding architecture – whether you’re opting for a seamlessly matching aesthetic or contrasting components that complement one another. Style, material selection, configurations, and finishes are carefully controlled to achieve a balanced, refined entrance, while finer enhancements – from handles and hardware to glazing and security integrations – work to breathe showstopping style and substance in every detail. External and internal finishes can also be specified independently, ensuring the door complements both the front elevation and interior scheme.
Performance-led hardware
Oversized front doors require specialist hardware to support their scale and weight. Deuren specifies precision-engineered hinges, locking systems, and handles designed for strength, security, and smooth everyday use. Hardware can be finished to suit even the most ambitious designs, combining robust performance with inimitably refined detailing.
Engineered solid timber construction
Each door is handcrafted around an engineered timber core, formed from multiple layers of hardwood. This construction enhances strength, stability, and thermal performance – essential for larger front doors exposed to external conditions – while maintaining the natural beauty of real timber.
A complete design-to-installation service
Deuren’s service begins with understanding how you want your entrance to look, feel, and function. From design development and technical surveying through to manufacture and expert installation, every stage is carefully managed to ensure your extra-large front door performs beautifully, securely, and reliably for years to come.
A front door should do more than welcome you home. It should express the architecture, the craftsmanship, and the confidence of the building itself.
