Frequently asked questions

We make, supply and fit internal doors, external and front doors, bespoke made-to-measure doors, sliding wardrobe doors, fire doors, staircase balustrades, handrails and spindles, and timber shop fronts for homes and commercial premises. We have been doing it since 1996 from our showroom and factory at Whiteside Industrial Estate in Bathgate, West Lothian, with our own in-house craftsmen and spray booth.

We supply and fit. On most of our ranges the door comes as a supplied-and-fitted package, measured by us, made to fit and installed by our own fitters, so supply-only is not available on most doors. If you only need a door supplied, tell us what you are after and we will say straight away whether that range can be sold on its own.

Yes. Our doors are made to measure, so they fit non-standard openings and older properties properly. Final sizes are confirmed at survey before anything is manufactured.

Yes. We offer a free home visit to measure accurately, talk through styles and glazing and give you a tailored, no-obligation quotation. You are also welcome at our Bathgate showroom. Once you send a request we will contact you to arrange a date and time.

Yes. We take your old doors, frames and components away and dispose of them responsibly as part of the installation. There is a small charge for this: £7 per internal door and £25 per external door, shown clearly on your quote.

Yes. Everything we supply and fit meets the relevant building regulations and safety standards. In Scotland that means the Scottish Building Standards, and we fit to the standard that applies to your home or premises.

We are based in Bathgate, West Lothian and supply and fit throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the central belt, and we can fit anywhere in the UK. Send us your postcode and we will confirm quickly.

Yes, including rural and semi-rural locations, subject to survey and access. Send us your postcode and we will confirm.

Yes. We regularly fit doors in period properties, cottages and older homes. Because our doors are made to measure, out-of-square or non-standard openings are not a problem.

Yes. We will replace a single door or a whole house of doors, whichever you need.

Call us on 01506 651610 or email info@replacementdoor.co.uk. Our team is here to help before, during and after installation.

Our walk-in showroom at Block 10, Factory Road, Whiteside Industrial Estate, Bathgate EH48 2RX is open Monday to Thursday 8.30am to 4.00pm and Friday 8.30am to 3.00pm. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. We are a short drive from the M8, and if you would rather we came to you, home visits are free.

No. We make and fit internal, external and fire doors, bespoke doors, sliding wardrobe doors, staircase balustrades and timber shop fronts, but not kitchen cabinet or cupboard doors.

Yes. Finance is available on orders from £750 to £15,000, repaid over 12 to 36 months, arranged through our credit broker Ideal4Finance. It is interest-bearing credit, so the total you repay is more than the cash price. Use our finance calculator to see what the monthly payments could look like, or ask when you enquire.

We ask for a £200 deposit when you place your order. The balance is due on completion, once your doors are fitted and you are happy with them.

Our products are guaranteed for a minimum of 10 years and our workmanship for a minimum of 1 year. If anything needs attention with the fitting in that first year, call us and we will put it right. We do not offer a general door repair service beyond that guarantee, but we will always give you straight advice on the best way forward.

Standard doors are usually fitted 6 to 8 weeks from order. Bespoke timber doors, which are made to your design in our factory, take around 16 to 18 weeks. We confirm your dates when you order.

Installation dates are agreed once manufacturing is complete and our fitters' availability is confirmed. We can usually pencil in a provisional date early on and confirm it as your doors move through production, and if your plans change we will do our best to adjust the timing to suit you. We keep you informed throughout and let you know when your doors are ready.

Delays are rare, but they can happen if a material is held up in manufacture or supply. If that affects your order we tell you straight away and agree a new date.

Manufacturing starts once your final measurements and specification are approved. Doors are painted or finished in our own spray booth before installation, so they arrive ready to hang.

Fitting an internal door usually takes 1 to 2 hours per door, depending on size and how much work the opening needs. A full house of doors is normally done in a day.

We supply and fit solid timber, engineered timber, uPVC, glazed, coloured and white internal doors, including oak, walnut, hardwood and pine, plus sliding wardrobe doors. All are available made to measure.

Yes, provided the existing frame is square, secure and in good condition. We check this at survey and tell you if the frame should be replaced too.

Solid-core and solid timber doors reduce noise between rooms noticeably better than hollow doors. If sound matters, for a bedroom or home office, say, we will steer you towards a solid door.

Yes. For rooms with more moisture we recommend uPVC or engineered timber doors, which cope far better with humidity than solid softwood.

Yes. Timber internal doors can be painted or stained to suit your décor, and we can finish them in our own spray booth before they are fitted.

Yes. Handles, hinges, latches and the rest of the hardware are all available, and we can match them across every door in the house.

uPVC internal doors are low-maintenance doors made from durable plastic. They are available in contemporary designs and finishes and are a good choice for busy households and moisture-prone rooms.

Yes. uPVC internal doors will never crack or warp, and they shrug off moisture, knocks and everyday wear.

No. uPVC keeps its finish and never needs painting. A wipe with a damp cloth is all the upkeep they need.

Yes. Decorative, frosted and patterned glazing options are available.

uPVC internal doors will never crack or warp and never need painting, so with normal use they last for many years. They are also covered by our minimum 10-year product guarantee.

Oak, walnut, hardwood, pine and engineered timber internal doors, in a wide range of panel, glazed and contemporary styles, all made to measure.

Both. Engineered doors have a stable core with a real timber face, which makes them less likely to move; solid doors are timber all the way through. We will advise which suits your home.

Yes. Wooden doors are the natural choice for traditional and heritage properties, and because ours are made to measure they suit the taller and wider openings often found in older houses.

Quality engineered timber doors are designed to minimise movement, and properly finished doors in a normally heated home stay true for years.

With appropriate care, wooden internal doors last for decades, and they are covered by our minimum 10-year product guarantee.

uPVC external doors are weather-resistant doors made from reinforced plastic, suitable for front, back and side entrances. They are a practical, low-maintenance option.

Yes. Our uPVC external doors are fitted with multi-point locking and reinforced frames, with the locking specified to your requirements, including BS3621 and insurance-approved cylinders where you want them. Our external doors meet the PAS 23 and PAS 24 weather and security standards.

Yes. A well-fitted uPVC door cuts draughts and heat loss, which helps keep your heating bills down.

Yes. uPVC performs well in rain, wind and cold, and our external doors are tested to the PAS 23 weather standard.

No. uPVC does not rot, swell or warp, which is why it is so popular for Scottish homes.

uPVC external doors have a long lifespan with minimal maintenance; a wipe-down with soapy water is all they need. They are covered by our minimum 10-year product guarantee.

Engineered hardwood and timber external doors, including Accoya, made to measure with glazing and traditional detailing if you want it. Our wooden external doors come with a minimum 10-year product guarantee.

Yes. We fit modern multi-point locking and safety glazing, with the locking specified to your requirements, including BS3621 and insurance-approved cylinders. Our external doors meet PAS 23 and PAS 24.

Yes. Periodic painting or refinishing protects the timber and keeps the door looking its best. Accoya needs far less attention than ordinary timber.

Yes. Timber is a good natural insulator, and a made-to-measure door fitted properly keeps the draughts out.

Yes. They are usually the preferred choice for traditional and character buildings, and we can match original detailing.

A composite door is built from several materials, typically a solid core with a tough GRP outer skin, to give the look of timber with the low maintenance of modern materials. We supply a wide range of styles and colours.

Yes. Composite doors are very secure thanks to their solid core and modern multi-point locking. We specify the locking to your requirements, including BS3621 and insurance-approved cylinders, and our external doors meet PAS 23 and PAS 24.

Yes. Composite doors offer excellent thermal performance and keep the cold out.

Very little. Basic cleaning is all that is needed; there is no painting or varnishing.

Composite doors are long lasting and virtually maintenance free, and they are covered by our minimum 10-year product guarantee.

Yes. Many of our doors can be supplied with fanlights, sidelights or side panels to suit the opening.

In many cases, yes. We assess what can be retained at the home visit.

Yes. Dual-colour options are available on many of our door ranges.

Accoya is a modified timber known for exceptional durability and dimensional stability, which makes it ideal for bespoke external doors.

Yes. Accoya performs extremely well in harsh and coastal conditions.

Yes. Accoya is made from sustainably sourced timber and has a long service life, and we are FSC certified.

Accoya has outstanding resistance to swelling, shrinking and warping, so the door stays true and the finish lasts.

Accoya is one of the most durable timbers available and is designed for a very long service life above ground. Our Accoya doors are also covered by our minimum 10-year product guarantee.

A fire door is a certified door designed to hold back fire and smoke for a defined period, giving people time to get out and limiting damage.

We supply FD30 fire doors (30 minutes' fire resistance) and FD60 fire doors (60 minutes) in a range of materials and designs.

They are commonly required in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings, and between an attached garage and the living space of a house.

Yes. Fire-rated glazing can be incorporated.

Yes. A fire door only performs as a complete doorset: fire-rated hinges and latches, intumescent and smoke seals and, where the building standards call for it (for example a door between an attached garage and the house), a self-closing device.

Yes. Bespoke sizes are available where required.

Yes. FD30 fire doors are available in styles and finishes that match our internal door ranges, so the fire door does not have to look like the odd one out.

The balustrade is the full safety system on a staircase: the handrail, spindles, newel posts and infill.

Yes. In many cases only the balustrade components need replacing, which transforms the look of the stair without touching the treads.

Yes. Building standards (the Scottish Building Standards in Scotland) set minimum handrail heights and the maximum gap allowed between spindles. We fit every balustrade to the standard that applies to your home.

Between 840 mm and 1,000 mm, measured above the pitch line on a flight of stairs or above the floor on a landing. We fit to the standard that applies to your home.

Spindles are the vertical supports beneath the handrail that form the infill of the balustrade.

Yes, subject to compatibility with the existing handrail and newel posts. We check this at survey.

Gaps between spindles must not let a 100 mm sphere pass through, so spindles are spaced at under 100 mm apart.

Yes. Spacing and guarding can be improved to meet the current safety requirements.

A balustrade replacement usually takes 1 to 3 days depending on the size of the stair and the work involved. We confirm timing at survey.
