Radial Joinery designs, manufactures and installs bespoke timber entrance doors in Lincoln for homes, period properties, listed buildings and selected commercial projects across Lincolnshire.

Every door is made to measure in our Lincoln workshop. This allows the proportions, materials, glazing, panels, mouldings, ironmongery and finish to be designed specifically for the property and opening.

Our work includes external entrance doors, front doors, internal doors, French doors, glazed doors, Victorian and heritage doors, Accoya doors, hardwood outbuilding doors and complete door sets with frames.

As part of our wider bespoke joinery services in Lincoln, our doors are purpose-made rather than selected from standard sizes or mass-produced ranges.

Made-to-Measure Entrance Doors for Lincoln Properties

An entrance door needs to provide security and weather protection while also looking right for the age, proportions and character of the building.

We regularly manufacture bespoke timber entrance doors for:

Period and Victorian homes
Listed buildings
Properties within conservation areas
Modern homes
Rural properties
Commercial buildings
Outbuildings and garden buildings
Architect-led joinery projects

Because each door is manufactured specifically for the project, we can control the overall proportions, panel arrangement, glazing, mouldings, timber choice, hardware and finished appearance.

Matching timber windows in Lincoln can also be manufactured where a wider project requires a consistent appearance across its doors and windows.

Types of Bespoke Timber Doors We Manufacture

Front and Entrance Doors

A purpose-made front door can have a considerable impact on the appearance, security and character of a property.

We manufacture traditional and modern entrance doors in Lincoln and across Lincolnshire, including:

Panelled timber front doors
Glazed entrance doors
Victorian and period-style front doors
Accoya external doors
Hardwood entrance doors
Doors with fanlights or side screens
Doors for listed and conservation properties
Complete door and frame sets

Internal Timber Doors

Internal doors can change the appearance of a room and help connect the design of different areas within a property.

We manufacture internal timber doors where standard products are unsuitable or where a higher-quality, made-to-measure result is required.

Internal door projects may include:

Panelled internal doors
Glazed internal doors
Complete door sets with frames
Doors with side screens
Period-style internal doors
Oak internal doors
Doors made to match existing joinery

This service is particularly useful for period properties, unusual openings, renovation projects and homes where new doors must match other architectural joinery.

French Doors and Glazed Doors

We manufacture bespoke French doors and glazed timber doors for external and internal openings.

These can be designed for living rooms, garden rooms, dining rooms, period homes and extensions where natural light and traditional detailing are important.

Options may include:

Fully glazed timber doors
Part-glazed doors
Traditional glazing bars
Duplex glazing bars where suitable
Panelled lower sections
Matching side screens
Accoya or hardwood construction

See our oak French doors in Lincoln.

Heritage and Listed-Building Doors

Period and listed buildings often require replacement doors that reflect the design and architectural character of the property.

We manufacture heritage doors, replacement period doors and traditional timber doors where the panel arrangement, mouldings, proportions and glazing require careful consideration.

This work often forms part of our heritage and period-property joinery service in Lincoln.

Heritage door projects may include:

Traditional entrance doors
Victorian-style front doors
Ledged and braced cottage doors
Arched timber doors
Doors with raised and fielded panels
Replacement doors for listed buildings
Door and portico restoration
Doors made to match surviving original joinery

Hardwood Outbuilding Doors

We also manufacture bespoke hardwood doors for outbuildings, garages, workshops and traditional external buildings.

These doors are constructed to suit the opening, exposure and setting rather than relying on a standard off-the-shelf product.

See our bespoke hardwood outbuilding doors in Glentworth, Gainsborough.

Made-to-Measure Timber Gates and Specialist Doors

Some projects require smaller items of purpose-made joinery rather than a conventional external door.

We manufacture items such as timber gates, stair gates and specialist access doors where the design needs to suit the property or opening.

Materials for Bespoke Timber Doors

The most appropriate timber depends on the type of door, its exposure, the required finish and the character of the property.

For external timber doors, we commonly use:

Accoya for premium external doors where long-term stability and durability are important
Sapele for hardwood external joinery and traditional door construction
Oak where a natural hardwood appearance is required
Tricoya panels for suitable painted external panel details

For internal doors, material choice depends on the design and finish. Painted doors may use suitable hardwoods or paint-grade timbers, while clear-finished doors may use oak, ash or other selected timbers.

Accoya Entrance Doors

For many external entrance-door projects, we recommend Accoya timber. Radial Joinery is an Accoya Approved Manufacturer.

Accoya is a high-performance modified timber designed for demanding external joinery. Its properties include:

Excellent dimensional stability
Strong resistance to moisture and timber decay
Very high durability
Improved coating performance
A suitable surface for painted external joinery
The ability to reproduce traditional mouldings and details

These qualities make Accoya particularly suitable for entrance doors, French doors and other exposed external joinery.

It provides the appearance and detailing of a traditional painted timber door with improved long-term performance.

Security, Ironmongery and Door Hardware

A bespoke entrance door must look appropriate for the property while also operating securely and reliably.

Depending on the project, the door specification can include:

Modern multipoint locking systems
Traditional locks
Thumbturn cylinders
Butt hinges
Heritage-style hinges and handles
Bolts and stays
Weather seals
Quality door furniture

We use suitable ironmongery from trusted suppliers, including Pickard Hardware, where appropriate for the project.

The exact specification will depend on whether the door is internal, external, traditional, modern, listed-building related or part of a wider joinery project.

Door Sets, Frames, Fanlights and Side Screens

Many entrance-door projects involve more than replacing the door leaf.

We can manufacture doors with matching frames, side screens, fanlights and associated joinery so that the complete opening is designed and constructed together.

This can be particularly useful for:

Entrance doors with side lights
Front doors with fanlights
French doors with matching frames
Internal doors with glazed screens
Large or unusually shaped openings
Period properties with non-standard sizes
Projects where doors and windows need to match

Manufacturing the frame and door together helps us control the fit, proportions, weather protection and overall appearance.

Manufactured in Our Lincoln Workshop

All Radial Joinery bespoke timber doors are manufactured in our Lincoln workshop.

Manufacturing in-house gives us control over:

Timber selection
Door and frame proportions
Panel arrangements
Glazing details
Traditional mouldings
Machining and joinery accuracy
Paint and finishing preparation
Final fitting and adjustment

We regularly complete door and joinery projects across Lincoln, North Hykeham, Nettleham, Washingborough, Branston, Welton and surrounding Lincolnshire villages.

We can also supply purpose-made joinery to projects elsewhere in the UK where appropriate.

Our Bespoke Door Process

Every bespoke door project is different, but the usual process is:

Enquiry — You send us photographs, approximate measurements, the property address and details of the door required.
Initial estimate — We prepare an initial estimate based on the available information, design, timber, glazing, ironmongery and finish.
Deposit — Once the estimate is accepted, a 50% deposit secures the project within our schedule.
Site survey — We visit the property to record the opening, measurements and relevant architectural details.
Design and specification — The door layout, panels, glazing, timber, ironmongery and finish are confirmed.
Final confirmation — The final specification and cost are agreed before manufacture begins.
Manufacture and finishing — The door is made and finished in our Lincoln workshop.
Installation — The completed door is fitted and adjusted where installation is included.

This process helps ensure that the finished door suits the property, fits the opening and operates correctly.
