Customers Often Ask

Here's some of the questions we often get asked about stable doors:

What are stable doors?
Stable doors are a type of door that is divided horizontally, allowing the top half to be opened independently of the bottom half. This design is traditional and offers practical benefits for homes, being especially popular in barn conversions and country cottages. They come in a variety of contemporary and traditional styles, colours, and glazing options to suit different properties.
Are stable doors secure?
Yes, stable doors are designed with security in mind. They are equipped with multi-point locking systems that meet the Secured by Design standards, which is an official UK Police initiative supporting the principles of 'designing out crime'. This makes them a secure option for your home, combining practicality with peace of mind regarding safety.
What are the benefits of stable doors?
The primary benefit of stable doors is their functionality; they split into two sections, enabling you to open the top half to let in fresh air while keeping the bottom closed to secure pets or prevent entry. This versatility makes them particularly appealing for homes where control over access and ventilation is desired. As well as that, they add a charming aesthetic to any property and can be customised in various styles and colours to enhance your home’s appearance.
