Timber & Composite Door Kits
Timber & Composite Door Kit FAQs
Timber doors can last up to 100 years if maintained regularly and protected. However, if they are often subjected to the elements they tend to warp and discolour after only a few years and will need a lot of upkeep and maintenance to keep them in good condition. Warped timber doors often mean the locks inside misalign with keeps, or worse break altogether.
Composite is now one of the most popular materials for front doors with homeowners. Composite doors are made from combining lots of pieces of different synthetic materials that when combined become stronger than their individual parts. They are often given a wood grain effect for style purposes because wood is a popular finish for front doors with homeowners. A composite door is just as easy to maintain as a UPVC door but has the added style benefits.
Composite doors will not rot, warp or discolour. The general life span of a composite door is 35 years and they have maximum energy efficiency – on average 10% thicker and help reduce heat loss and help toward heat retention. Multipoint door locks can be fitted to timber doors and composite doors.

Multipoint door locks for timber & composite doors commonly have the following features:
FACEPLATE
UPVC doors commonly have a faceplate width of 16mm, timber and composite doors tend to be thicker and therefore require a faceplate width upwards of 20mm. For UPVC doors, the multipoint door lock tends to have a square flat end to its faceplate. For timber doors, you may find the ends of the faceplate are either square or rounded to suit the doors indentation.
LOCKING POINTS
You will find most of the same locking points on a multipoint door lock for timber/composite as you would for a UPVC door. However, you won’t find roller or mushroom locking points on a multipoint lock for timber / composite doors. Rollers are used for compression and mushrooms are a locking device only found on multipoint door locks for UPVC doors.
BACKSET
UPVC doors tend to use multipoint door locks with a backset up to 45mm whereas locks for timber/composite doors usaully have a backset of 45mm and above.
