Security Built-In – Because Peace of Mind Matters
When it comes to protecting your home, Comp Door doesn’t mess around. Security is built into the DNA of every door, giving you confidence whether you’re at home or away.
Auto-fire Multi-point Locks
This isn’t your average locking system. The auto-fire lock engages instantly as soon as the door is shut—so there’s no forgetting to lock up.
It secures the door at multiple points along the frame, providing a tighter seal and greater resistance to forced entry.
ABS Master 3-Star Cylinder
We fit this as standard, not as an optional extra. It’s been rigorously tested against all known break-in methods—snapping, bumping, drilling and picking—and it’s passed with flying colours. This lock is trusted by locksmiths and insurance providers alike.
Secured by Design Accreditation
Endorsed by the UK police initiative, Secured by Design accreditation guarantees the door meets the highest standards in crime prevention.
This gives you—and your insurance provider—added peace of mind.
Bold Smart Cylinder (Upgrade Option)
Tech-savvy? You’ll love this. Control your door’s lock from your phone, issue digital keys to friends or family, and even track access history. It’s a smarter way to manage home security.
Energy Efficiency & Core Tech
Don’t underestimate how much a well-insulated front door can change your comfort levels—and your energy bills.
With Comp Door, you’re investing in one of the most energy-efficient entrance systems on the market today.
48mm Solid Timber Core
The thicker the core, the better the insulation. While many doors on the market use foam cores, Comp Door goes further with a solid laminated timber core that offers superior thermal and acoustic insulation as well as structural integrity.
TriSeal Frame System
Three weather seals mean three times the protection. They block out cold air, noise, and rain far more effectively than traditional systems, helping to create a warm and peaceful home environment.
U-Value of 1.4
This low U-value outperforms most standard doors. It means less heat escaping during winter, and cooler air staying inside in summer. Over time, this can lead to genuine savings on your heating bills.
Here’s how it stacks up:
| Feature | Comp Door | Standard GRP Door | Solidor |
| Core Thickness | 48mm Solid Timber | 44mm GRP | 48mm Timber |
| U-Value | 1.4 W/m²K | 1.8-2.0 W/m²K | 1.4 W/m²K |
| Finish | SleekSkin (Smooth) | Woodgrain | Woodgrain |
| Smart Integration | Kubu, Bold | Rarely available | Kubu (upgrade) |
Style & Colour Freedom
Let’s face it—your front door is one of the first things people see. With Comp Door, you can express your personality and boost your home’s kerb appeal at the same time.
250+ Combinations
Choose from traditional, modern, and contemporary designs, and then personalise your door with your choice of colour, glazing, handles, and accessories. The combinations really are endless.
Dual Colour Options
Want a pop of colour outside but something subtle inside? Go for it. You can customise both sides of the door and frame independently to suit your style.
SleekSkin Finish
Tired of fake-looking woodgrain textures? SleekSkin delivers a smooth, tactile finish that looks high-end and modern. It’s also highly scratch- and UV-resistant, so it keeps its good looks for years.
Ultimate Glass Surround
Let the light in with full-height or half-height sidelights, or even a glazed top light. These are double-glazed for insulation and laminated for security. It’s a stunning way to open up your entrance without compromising safety.
Smarter Living with Comp Door
Technology is changing how we live—and Comp Door is at the forefront of that shift in home access and monitoring.
Kubu Smart Sensor
This discreet sensor connects to your smartphone and lets you know—instantly—if your door is locked or not. It integrates with smart home systems like Alexa and Google Home and gives you peace of mind, wherever you are.
Bold Smart Cylinder
Upgrade to full remote control of your front door. Unlock and lock your door from anywhere in the world, create digital keys for family or tradespeople, and track activity with time-stamped logs.
Simple Peace of Mind – Built to Last
Choosing Comp Door is choosing long-term peace of mind. These doors are built for real life and backed up by guarantees that prove their reliability.
10-Year Structural Guarantee
Covers all manufacturing defects and ensures your door stays solid and functional for years to come.
