Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Any issues with Double doors 2Nov 11, 2021 2:27 pm suku18 Hi All, This forum has been really helpful and being getting great tips from reading through. We were thinking of installing a double door at our new construction instead of the traditional 1020 sized single door. We have requested the builder to put in two 2040 X 820 mm doors to get that bigger french door feel. The carpenter has though said that double doors can be a problem a year down the line as the timber might expand and curve and they are not secure enough. We really want to have that bigger door on our main entrance and willing to spend a bit extra to adjust the framing two single doors fitted. For people having double doors at their main entrance or anyone who has that experience are they really an issue? We are thinking of getting hatches for one door so it can be locked and it doesnt move much. is it a good investment? Thanks Hi Suku18 I had double front doors on my last house for around 9 years and had no problem whatsoever. Just had latches on the top and bottom of the RHS one as you are suggesting and they worked perfectly. Was great when I had a big furniture delivery and could open both up.
