Back Doors in Solid Oak — Sturdy & Secure

Led by our hand-crafted solid oak, our back doors are built for everyday comings and goings and made to last — sturdy, secure rear-entrance doors in glazed and panelled styles to suit any home. Supplied prefinished or ready to treat and made to stand up to the British weather, they pair naturally with our front doors for a matched look front and back.

Solid Oak Back Doors

A back door earns its keep — garden, utility, side and rear access, opened and closed dozens of times a day — so ours are built to take it. This range of oak back doors is led by our hand-crafted solid oak, a sturdy, secure choice in glazed and panelled styles to suit any home.

Solid oak is the heart of the range. It carries the grain, colour tone and natural character that make an oak door such a strong choice, it takes an oil or finish beautifully, and it stands up to daily use. The same doors work just as well at the front of the house, so it is worth seeing our front doors for a matched look front and back.

Traditional and contemporary styles

Choose a glazed door to bring daylight into a kitchen or utility, or an unglazed panelled door for privacy and security — styles run from cottage and Victorian panels to cleaner contemporary designs. Where you want more glass, our glazed external doors gather the fully and half-glazed options in one place.

Back door options

The range covers a spread of styles and finishes:

Solid oak back doors in traditional panelled and cottage styles
Glazed doors to carry light into a kitchen or utility, many with double-glazed units
Unglazed panelled doors for privacy and a secure, solid feel
Prefinished doors that arrive protected, or unfinished doors ready to treat
Oak-veneered engineered doors for wider or more exposed openings

Built for security and daily use

A back door is often the quieter entrance, so it needs to be dependable. A solid oak door is substantial and rigid, so it feels secure and sits solidly in its frame, and paired with a quality multi-point lock it makes a sound rear entrance. Fit it out with the right external door handles and hardware — hinges, locks, letterplates and handles chosen for outdoor use — and it will stand up to years of everyday opening and closing.

Finishing and weatherproofing

A back door takes the same weather as the front. Some of ours arrive prefinished and protected; others are supplied unfinished, ready for you to oil all faces and edges before hanging. Either way, an oak door benefits from re-coating over time — our external door treatments cover the oils we stock and how to keep an oak door weather-tight.

Frames and fitting

A door hangs only as well as the frame around it. We supply matching oak door frames to suit, with the cill included, so the whole opening goes in as one and sits square and weather-tight from the start.

Part of the full external range

Every back door here is part of our wider external door range, so you can match materials and styling right across the house.

Back doors - common questions

A solid oak or oak-veneered back door is heavy and rigid, and with a quality multi-point lock and the right hardware it makes a secure rear entrance.

Prefinished doors arrive protected; unfinished doors should be oiled on all faces and edges before fitting, and any oak door benefits from periodic re-coating.
