richi Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) We ordered a rebated double-door set from XL Joinery, via Jewson. This is a pair of Pattern 10 glazed, white-primed, solid wood, internal doors. £300 inc. VAT, delivered. 1981 x 1168 mm, pictures at this link. The first set was the wrong size (Jewson's fault). The second had a 6mm gap in the centre of the rebate. The third arrived damaged at Jewson, so they sent them straight back. The fourth is hilariously badly warped. I'd have given up by now, but XL is so incompetent that it sent two replacements to Jewson, so we await the fifth pair... But assuming #5 is also wrong, does anyone have a recommendation for another door manufacturer that knows what the £@!# it's doing?

bassanclan Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 There's no substitute for going and seeing what you are buying and getting it there and then, but depends where you are etc. Have you looked at Howdens/Magnet trade where you are usually buying from stock?

Fallingditch Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 We bought about 15 doors from http://www.doordeals.co.uk/ in sheffield. Very happy with price and quality (but didn't buy any double doors mind you). They got it right first time. They have a bloke driving all over the country with them. Good customer service also.

bassanclan Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Have you looked at lpd doors, they are ok, or Todd doors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but neither do a plain white-primed version. Todd's oak veneer set looks nice though (but la @Coopers specified white).
