Which screen door patterns do you make?

Eleven complete screen-door patterns are listed: SD3, SD4, SD5, SD6, SD7, SD8, SD9, SD10, SD13, SD16 and SD17. SDB1–SDB4 are separate decorative components and SDS1 is a turned spindle, not a complete door. Compare the component photograph and its individual quote requirements separately from the door designs. The shop lists a standard complete-door size of 2040 mm high × 820 mm wide. Custom sizes are available by enquiry; the workshop confirms the finished dimensions and price before manufacture. See photographed together for additional photographs.

What size and thickness are they made to?

We make each door to your specifications: you give us the size of your door frame and the screen door is built to suit it, so it hangs true and closes cleanly rather than being packed out to fit an opening it was never cut for. Thicknesses run from 18mm to 30mm, chosen for the size of the door and how hard it will be used. Beading to hold the flywire is included with every door.

What timber are your screen doors made from?

Our screen doors are made from LOSP treated pine — H3 rated for outdoor use above ground, dimensionally stable and clean to paint. As external LOSP H3 treated pine used above ground, our screen doors carry our 25 year guarantee. Custom species are available on request, but a door made in another timber is not covered by the LOSP guarantee.

How do I measure for a screen door?

Measure the height and width of the door reveal, not the existing door — an old screen door has usually been trimmed, packed or rehung at least once. Keep the opening measurements distinct from the finished door dimensions and confirm the fitting allowances before manufacture. Note which way the opening swings and whether the screen will sit in front of a hinged or a sliding entrance, then tell us the pattern and thickness you want. A photograph of the entrance taken square-on helps us keep the fretting in proportion: a pattern that suits a wide Victorian doorway looks cramped on a narrow one. Hang the door on quality hinges with a closer to suit daily use.

How should a screen door be painted?

Apply two thin coats of oil-based primer to all six faces before the door is hung, including the top and bottom edges and any cut ends. LOSP treatment carries solvents that an oil-based primer bonds with, so acrylic is not a substitute at that stage. Keep the timber dry, leave it at least 72 hours after delivery to acclimatise, then apply two or three thin topcoats and inspect the coating annually.

Can you copy an original, or match a front door to a back one?

Yes, and both are common jobs. Send a photograph or the original door and we will reproduce the pattern and the proportions; matching a rear entrance to a front one is the same exercise in reverse. Ask about our timber-profile matching service. If you want the same fretted look as a fixed panel rather than a door, our privacy screens are made the same way.

Product and ordering questions

How do I measure for a timber screen door?

You will need the size of your door frame and we will make your screen door to suit. Measure the height and width of the door reveal, not the existing door.

How thick are your screen doors?

They range from 18mm to 30mm in thickness.

Is beading for attaching the flywire included?

Beading to attach the flywire is included.

Can a screen door be made in a different timber?

Yes. Custom species of timber are available upon request. Note that a door in another timber is not covered by the LOSP guarantee.

Product information

A timber screen door restores a visible piece of joinery to a period entrance, with a pattern chosen to suit the house. A fretted timber screen sits in front of the entrance door as joinery, not as a security grille. It is also called a flyscreen door or a fly door. This decorative timber range has no published security rating; if security performance is part of your brief, confirm that requirement before choosing a door. Every door Heritage & Decorative Timber Products makes is built to the size of your door frame, in LOSP treated pine, 18mm to 30mm thick, with the beading to hold the flywire included.

Buying questions (10)
How do I measure for a replacement timber screen door?

Measure the clear opening at the top, middle and bottom and check the height on both sides. Photograph the frame, hinge side and sill, and identify whether the measurements are for the old door or the opening.

How do I match the style of an original heritage screen door?

Send a full outside photo and close-ups of the decorative pieces, lower panel and rails. Note which details you want repeated and show how the door opens past the existing entry door.

Can a decorative timber screen door serve as a security door?

Choose the timber screen door for its stated screening and decorative purpose. If you need a security-rated door, ask for a product with documented suitability for that requirement.

Can I fit a timber screen door into an out-of-square frame?

Measure the opening in several places and check both diagonals. Share the readings and photos before ordering, so the workshop can assess whether the frame needs work or the door requires a custom size.

What do I send for a custom-size timber screen door quote?

Send clear opening width and height, frame depth, hinge side, swing direction and a photo. Add the preferred pattern and specify any mesh, hardware or finish you want priced.

What is the difference between a timber screen door and a window flyscreen?

A screen door is a door assembly for access through an opening. A window flyscreen fits a window frame to screen insects. Send the dimensions and identify which opening you need to cover.

How do I record the hinge positions on an old screen door?

Measure from the top of the door to each hinge and take a photo of the hinge edge.

What clearance details matter when a screen door opens past an entry door?

Show the handles, sill, steps and any wall near the proposed swing. Check the two doors can operate together.

Can I quote a timber screen door with a specific mesh?

State the mesh you want and ask the supplier to confirm compatibility and whether it is included.

Should I give the screen door size or the frame opening size?

Give both if available and label them clearly. Leave the fitting allowances for the workshop to confirm.
