External Door Frames – Oak & Hardwood Kits

Finish your entrance properly with our external door frames — the surround that carries the hinges, holds the door square and seals the opening against the weather. Our frames come in oak and hardwood — solid oak, oak-faced engineered or FSC-certified red hardwood — chosen for stability outdoors to match the warm grain of our oak external doors, with matching weather bars and seals to finish the threshold. Browse the full external doors range to pair a frame with the right door.

Across the range, our external door frames run from reversible frame-and-cill kits that hang to open in or out and left or right, to adjustable frames that take a door with one or two sidelights, a wide single door or a pair — a fit for a simple back door or a grand front entrance alike. Some include beading and integral weather seals for a neat, draught-resistant fit. All are built for standard external doors and suit our hardwood external doors and oak front doors.

Because a frame lives outdoors, it needs treating like the door it holds. All our external door frames are supplied unfinished, so seal every face with a suitable exterior treatment before fitting for the longest life, and add a weather bar at the threshold to shed rain. Choosing a proper external frame over an internal lining keeps your door hung true, sealed and protected for years.
