Product Information

Full details

The LPD Kent Solid Core Internal Door is designed for homeowners seeking to enhance their living spaces with a blend of modern aesthetics and robust construction. Its key benefit lies in its ability to transmit natural light between rooms through six clear bevelled glass panels, while the solid core provides excellent durability and sound insulation. A minor consideration is that the door arrives white primed, requiring a final top coat for complete personalization and protection.

FAQs

What is the best way to paint this door?

Ensure the door is clean and dry. Lightly sand the white primed surface for optimal adhesion. Apply your chosen top coat (e.g., gloss, satin, eggshell) following the paint manufacturer's instructions. Two coats are often recommended for a durable finish.

Is this door suitable for a bathroom?

While the solid core offers some moisture resistance, it is primarily designed for general interior use. For areas with high humidity like bathrooms, ensure adequate ventilation and consider a paint finish that offers enhanced moisture protection.

What type of hinges should I use?

Standard ball-bearing or rising butt hinges suitable for internal wooden doors of this weight and size are recommended. Typically, three hinges are used for a door of this height.

Can I trim this door to fit a smaller opening?

The door can be trimmed slightly from the sides and bottom edge. However, significant trimming may affect the structural integrity or appearance, especially around the glass panels. It's best to consult a professional or the manufacturer's guidelines before making substantial alterations.

What are the benefits of a solid core door?

Solid core doors offer enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation compared to hollow core doors. They are also generally more durable, resistant to warping, and provide a more substantial feel.

Does the door come with hardware?

No, this door is supplied without hardware such as hinges, handles, or locks. These must be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Door sticks or rubs against the frame

Check for structural settling of the frame or swelling of the door. Minor adjustments may be possible by planing the edges, or the frame may need professional adjustment.

Primer not accepting top coat evenly

Ensure the primed surface is clean and dry. Lightly sand the surface before applying the top coat if necessary. Use a high-quality paint suitable for primed wood.

Glass panels appear foggy or have condensation

This is normal for sealed units and usually dissipates. If persistent, check for damage to the seals around the glass, though this is uncommon with quality construction.

  • Ready for customization with a white primed finish.
  • Adds architectural character to interior spaces.

Cons

  • Requires a final top coat application.
  • May be heavier than hollow-core doors, potentially affecting installation.
  • The specific dimensions (1981 x 686mm) may not fit all standard openings without modification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the door frame is prepared and suitable for the 1981 x 686mm dimensions. The door should be hung by a qualified professional to ensure correct alignment and function. Apply your chosen final paint coat to the white primed surface, following the paint manufacturer's instructions. Allow adequate drying time before use.

Compatibility: This door is designed for standard interior residential applications. It is compatible with most standard door hardware (hinges, handles, latches) designed for internal doors of this size and type. Verify frame dimensions before purchase.

Care: To maintain the appearance, clean the door with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For painted surfaces, follow standard paint care instructions. Periodically check that hardware remains secure.
