Bespoke Internal Doors Made in Devon

G S Haydon manufactures bespoke internal timber doors for period properties, renovations and individual homes across Devon.

Every door is made to measure in our South Molton workshop, making them particularly suitable for older properties, non-standard openings or projects where a particular style needs to be reproduced.

We can manufacture the door alone or produce complete door sets with matching frames and linings, with fitting available for projects within our working area.

Made-to-Measure Internal Doors

Standard internal doors do not always work well in older homes, where openings can vary considerably in width, height and proportion.

Bespoke manufacture allows us to make a door specifically for the opening rather than modifying a standard product to fit.

We can also reproduce the character of existing joinery, including:

• Traditional panel arrangements
• Moulded details
• Shaker-style doors
• Glazed internal doors
• Cottage-style boarded doors
• Non-standard sizes and shapes
• Matching frames and linings
• Traditional or contemporary ironmongery

Where appropriate, we can work from an existing door, site measurements or drawings supplied by an architect or designer.

For more traditional cottage designs, our ledged and braced doors provide another made-to-measure option.

Internal Doors for Period Properties

Doors contribute considerably to the character of a period interior, particularly where original proportions, mouldings and ironmongery remain elsewhere in the property.

When an existing door needs replacing, we can manufacture a new one to complement the surrounding joinery rather than introducing a noticeably different standard design.

Traditional ironmongery such as beeswax-finished iron or unlacquered brass can also be used where it suits the property.

If existing historic joinery is damaged rather than beyond use, our joinery repair and refurbishment service may provide an alternative to complete replacement.

Pocket Doors

Pocket doors can be particularly useful when changing a room layout, creating an en-suite or making better use of an area where there is insufficient space for a conventional hinged door.

The door slides into a cavity within the wall when opened, leaving the surrounding floor area clear.

Although the concept is simple, accurate planning and installation are important. The door, pocket system and surrounding construction need to work together so that the finished door moves smoothly and remains accessible for adjustment where necessary.

We can manufacture bespoke timber doors to work with suitable pocket-door systems and fit them as part of a wider joinery project.

Timber and Ironmongery

Internal doors are not exposed to the same weather as external joinery, but timber stability remains important.

For painted doors, engineered softwood components can provide a stable base for the finished joinery. Well-seasoned hardwoods can be used where the natural appearance of the timber forms part of the design.

Ironmongery can include traditional latches, lever handles, sash locks, hinges and other fittings selected to suit the style of the door and property.

Internal doors are generally supplied ready for the agreed finishing treatment and should be stored and fitted in a dry environment.

Doors, Frames and Installation

We can manufacture matching frames and linings alongside the doors where required, helping ensure the complete door set fits the opening correctly.

Our team can also undertake installation for suitable projects across North Devon and surrounding areas.
