Make first impressions count with the perfect wooden front door for your home. If you’re looking to give your house a makeover, your front door is the perfect place to start as it gives homeowners the opportunity to create a first impression that shows off your style to family and friends when you welcome them. Our top tips on what to look out for when buying a wooden door will give you all the advice you need.

Quality

The quality of a wooden door is something you need to look out for as it will determine durability and ability to protect your home. typically, the best quality front doors are made from hardwood, such as oak or beech, as it is much denser than softwood, making it a much more durable option. All of our wooden doors are manufactured with only the best quality materials to ensure that your entrance will last.

Security

The security of your wooden door should be at the top of your priorities. The most secure wooden doors are the ones that are the most durable and have a good locking system. If your current wooden front door is loose in its frame, has faulty locks, or is made from weaker materials, it won’t offer your home adequate security. For complete peace of mind, upgrading to a wooden door from us will offer you the utmost safety. Wood is inherently strong and one of the few door materials that can be repaired, as wood is malleable and easy to work with. This means a wooden door will offer you and your home great security and confidence during its long life.

Select your style

I would be happy to recommend Bailey Hague to anyone. Rob, Susie and team have done an excellent job from start to finish on our doors and windows. They genuinely care about providing an excellent end to end experience. Great products, great installation and a very fair price. We have just placed a further order which says it all really about how we feel.

Highly recommend this company. The installation of our door was carried out quickly and efficiently. The end result is fabulous - a bespoke, made to measure door exactly as we wanted. The follow up service was excellent, including a call from Rob to check all was in order and Susie checking in on the day of installation to ensure all was well. Fantastic. Very happy.

From Start to finish Robert and his team have been fantastic. Designing and fitting our front and back door and curved windows and French doors for the kitchen extension. The results speak for themselves, beautiful workmanship and they went above and beyond to get the finished (slightly tricky!) look we desired. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending to friends and family and using them again.

We looked at hundreds of front doors before finding Bailey Hague. We wanted a door that would look great and last for years. Right from first contact, Bailey Hague impressed. We could see from all their 5 star reviews that they'd be able to deliver the quality we wanted. From initial quote through to installation, their customer service and attention to detail has been exceptional. Highly recommended!

Thanks to Rob and the team we now have a beautiful new back door, bringing light to the hallway and much needed draughtproofing too. Communication (mostly Susie) was prompt, friendly and helpful from start to finish. Design, construction and workmanship (including Andy, the perfectionist fitter) are all excellent. And the price was very competitive. Five stars and an unreserved recommendation.

An excellent company to deal with, creating a bespoke door and window which maintain the heritage of the house. Susie, Robert and the team of guys fitting them were helpful and accommodating from start to finish - so pleased with their service and the lovely door and window they fitted. We would not hesitate to recommend them.

The two owners and the Joiners are fabulous. We have been trying to a buy a door for 2.5 years: we took one to small claims court, 3 provided quotes and then changed their minds.Bailey Hague turned up when they said they would to measure up, provided a quote, a start date and then delivered.The Joiner who fitted the door was a delight; turning up when they said he would and we now have a new door.Really easy

Susie, Rob and all the team were brilliant to work with. Super fast response from initial contact to finishing the first part of our project. No amendment to the design was a problem and dealt with quickly. The quality of the windows and doors are fantastic and they don’t just look good from the outside, the finished joinery on the inside is the icing on the cake. Our old cottage now looks like it should! Thank you 😊
