Bespoke Doors in Lincoln

Radial Joinery design and manufacture bespoke timber doors in Lincoln for homes, period properties, listed buildings and commercial projects across Lincolnshire.

Every door is made to order in our Lincoln workshop. This allows the design, proportions, materials, glazing, panels, mouldings and ironmongery to suit the property properly.

We manufacture external doors, front doors, internal doors, French doors, glazed doors, heritage doors, Accoya doors, hardwood outbuilding doors and made-to-measure door sets.

As part of our wider bespoke joinery services in Lincoln, our doors are designed to suit the building rather than selected from standard sizes.

Doors Designed to Suit Your Property

Every building has its own character. A door needs to work practically, but it also has to look right for the property.

We regularly manufacture bespoke timber doors for:

Period homes
Listed buildings
Conservation properties
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 proportions, panel layout, glazing details, mouldings, timber choice and hardware.

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

Types of Bespoke Doors We Make

We manufacture a wide range of bespoke timber doors and door sets.

Front Doors & Entrance Doors

A bespoke front door has a major impact on the appearance, security and character of a property.

We manufacture traditional and modern entrance doors to suit the building, including:

Panelled front doors
Glazed entrance doors
Period-style front doors
Accoya front doors
Hardwood entrance doors
Doors with fanlights or side screens
Doors for listed and conservation properties

Internal Timber Doors

Internal doors can change the feel of a room and help tie a property together.

We manufacture internal timber doors where standard doors are not suitable or where a higher-quality, made-to-measure result is required.

Internal door projects may include:

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

This is useful for period properties, unusual openings, renovation projects and homes where the doors need to match other bespoke joinery.

French Doors & Glazed Doors

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

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 Doors & Listed Building Doors

Period and listed buildings often require doors that match the original style of the property.

We manufacture heritage doors, replacement period doors and traditional timber doors where details such as panel layout, mouldings, proportions and glazing need to be carefully considered.

This work often connects with our heritage and period property joinery in Lincoln.

Heritage door projects may include:

Traditional entrance 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 existing joinery

Hardwood Outbuilding Doors

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

These doors are built to suit the opening and the setting, rather than using standard off-the-shelf products.

See our bespoke hardwood outbuilding doors in Glentworth, Gainsborough.

Made-to-Measure Timber Gates & Smaller Door Projects

Some projects require smaller made-to-measure joinery rather than a full external door.

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

Materials for Bespoke Timber Doors

The best timber depends on the type of door, its exposure, the finish and the style 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 external painted 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 depending on the project.

Accoya Doors – Long Life External Timber Doors

For many external door projects we recommend Accoya timber. Accoya is a high-performance modified timber designed for external joinery.

Accoya offers:

Excellent dimensional stability
Strong resistance to moisture and rot
Very high durability
Longer coating life compared with many traditional timbers
A good base for painted external joinery

Because of these properties, Accoya is often a strong choice for entrance doors, French doors and other exposed external joinery.

It is especially useful where a client wants the appearance of traditional painted timber with improved long-term performance.

Security, Ironmongery & Door Hardware

A bespoke door needs to look right, but it also needs to work properly every day.

Depending on the project, we can allow for suitable ironmongery and security features such as:

Multipoint locking systems
Traditional locks
Thumbturn cylinders
Butt hinges
Heritage-style hinges and handles
Bolts and stays
Weather seals
Door furniture from quality hardware suppliers

We often use high-quality ironmongery from trusted suppliers such as Pickard Hardware where suitable for the project.

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

Door Sets, Frames & Side Screens

Many door projects involve more than just the door leaf.

We can manufacture door sets, frames, side screens, fanlights and associated joinery so the whole opening works together.

This is useful for:

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

Manufacturing the frame and door together helps improve fit, proportions and overall appearance.

Manufactured in Our Lincoln Workshop

All of our bespoke timber doors are manufactured through our Lincoln workshop.

Our Bespoke Door Process

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

Enquiry — You send details, photos, measurements or drawings.
Site visit or review — We assess the opening, property style and requirements.
Estimate — We provide an estimate based on the design, timber, ironmongery and finish.
Deposit — Once accepted, a deposit secures the work in the schedule.
Design and specification — Details such as layout, panels, glazing and ironmongery are confirmed.
Manufacture — The door is made in our Lincoln workshop.
Finishing — The door is prepared and finished where included.
Installation — The door is fitted and adjusted on site where installation is part of the project.

This process helps make sure the door suits the property and works properly once installed.
