The Challenge

The entry at this Doncaster property had a narrow double door setup — two undersized leaves in a single frame. On paper, double doors sound like a feature. In practice, narrow double doors rarely open correctly, seal poorly, and look busy without delivering the visual impact homeowners expect.

The brief was to get rid of the double door entirely and replace it with a single, wider feature door. The catch: the existing jamb was staying. Working within the same outer frame meant the new door layout had to be engineered to suit what was already there.

The Solution

We installed a new mullion within the existing door jamb to divide the opening into a main door and a fixed sidelight. That mullion gave us the structural anchor needed to hang a wider single door without modifying the surrounding frame.

The door itself was manufactured by Bespoke Doors in Vic Ash lining board — clean vertical profile, solid construction. The clear glazed sidelight sits in the remaining width and brings light into the entry hall. The customer supplied their own digital smart lock, so the door prep was built around their lock specification.

This is the kind of reconfiguration work our front door replacement service handles regularly — where the opening stays and only the internals change.

The Result

Two narrow leaves are gone. One wider Vic Ash door with a sidelight has taken their place. The proportions are right — a single dominant door with a slimmer glazed panel beside it, sitting cleanly within the original frame. The new mullion is invisible from the front; it just looks like the entry was always built this way. Total cost: $4,200 + GST supplied and installed.
