Skip to content External hinged doors have been a timeless architectural feature for centuries, first used in classical buildings and grand estates across Europe. Their functional simplicity, combined with elegant proportions, has made them a lasting choice in both traditional and modern design.
At Bespoke Steel Doors, we’ve reimagined this classic concept by combining it with slimline steel frames and advanced security technology delivering a door that is not only stylish but also built to protect.
Available as a single door or as elegant French doors, our external hinged range offers complete flexibility, ideal for both residential and commercial settings. Thanks to the robust design of the hinges, these doors open a full 180 degrees, folding neatly against a wall or fixed screen. This makes them a perfect solution for maximising space and creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Steel gives us the ability to design doors in sizes and configurations that most materials simply can’t support, from tall, dramatic entrances to wide double openings with minimal frame lines. This strength means we can deliver doors that feel light and elegant, yet are strong, durable, and secure.
Are the doors secure?
Security is always a priority. To ensure strength and compliance with UK building regulations, each door comes with three or five point locking mechanism, toughened glass as a standard option and laminated glass for extra security.
In fact, these doors were our bestselling product last year, chosen by customers not just for their modern look, but for the functionality, scale, and custom options that only steel can provide.
Clear glass provides unobstructed views and maximum natural light, while also offering excellent thermal and acoustic insulation when paired with double or triple glazing. This glass type is perfect for windows, doors, and facades, combining modern aesthetics with energy efficiency and noise reduction. Ideal for creating a bright, open feel in any building exterior.
Obscured glass is specially designed to provide privacy while still letting in maximum natural light. It features a frosted, patterned, or textured surface that blurs the view through the glass. This makes it ideal for spaces like bathrooms, entryways, and windows where both light and privacy are important. It also adds a touch of visual interest to doors and windows, combining functionality with style.
Solar control glass is designed to reduce the amount of solar heat and glare that enters a building. It uses special coatings or tints to reflect or absorb sunlight, improving energy efficiency by lowering cooling costs. It also blocks UV rays to protect interiors and provides a sleek, modern appearance while preserving views. Commonly used in windows, facades, skylights, and solar panels, it's an ideal choice for buildings in sunny climates.

This profile is the perfect reflection of the modern technology and heritage era of London's architecture. The advanced profile is used for thermally efficient steel windows and doors for the most demanding environmental standards and large construction projects. Solid, thermally broken construction with the depth of 75mm support modern energy standards while preserving elegant and slim look of classic steel doors. It accommodated double and triple glazing up to 52mm thick, offering outstanding insulation and noise reduction properties.
We know how important the colour of your door is. That’s why we offer the full range of RAL palette colours, allowing us to match your existing design or create something entirely new. Selecting the right finish ensures your door delivers both outstanding performance and timeless style.
At Bespoke Steel Doors, all our steel products are first galvanised to prevent corrosion, then powder coated to achieve a tough, long lasting finish. This process guarantees durability even in the most demanding environments, creating products built to last a lifetime.
But we don’t stop there. On request, special colours and finishes are also available – including metallic, textured, or matt options. For projects located near the coast, where exposure to salt can accelerate corrosion, we also offer a marine-grade finish for additional long-term protection in harsh conditions.

What makes bespoke steel doors stand out it’s not only the quality of the product, but the whole process.
From the initial conversation to the final installation, we listen, advise, and guide you through the project so that you feel comfortable and confident with your decision.
We are not a manufacturer of mass production. We are a company that believes in honesty and creation of home jewels that are personal for you and your space.
Steel doors have been used since the 20th century because of their exceptional strength, durability, and security. They’re built to last a lifetime with minimal maintenance.
Steel is undoubtedly a stronger material then aluminium. Its solid construction allows us to create larger units and more complex shapes, as the frame supports the glass rather than the other way around. Thanks to its high melting point, steel is also naturally fire-resistant. In comparison, aluminium structures are typically lighter but rely more on the glass for support, making them less robust and unusable for variety of projects.
Black steel doors are especially popular for their aesthetic appeal. They combine the strength of steel with a classic, heritage look. The slim frames and large clear glass panels allow maximum natural light to flow through creating a bright and timeless feel.

As all our projects are custom made, the price might vary depending on requirements. Prices starts from £700 of a single internal door.
Every project is different, the duration depends on the number of doors or windows, and whether it is an internal or external project. Smaller projects can often be installed in just a day. For larger projects, the installation time may vary. Your project manager will be able to provide you with a more accurate timeframe based on individual aspects of your order.
Steel doors don’t need any special treatment. You will receive a maintenance document which will specify more information following the completion of your project.
The production process begins once the production drawings have been reviewed and approved by the customer.
12-16 weeks for external projects.
8-12 weeks for Internal projects.
Yes, we provide two types of warranty: one for installations carried out by our specialists and one for supply only orders.
Our doors offer excellent acoustic performance with a sound reduction rating of Rw 45 dB. To give you a perspective, standard internal doors in UK homes typically achieve only up to Rw 29–32 dB.
Our office is located Hatton Garden, London.
We offer a wide range of colours and finishes. The standard colours included in the project cost are JET BLACK (RAL 9005), GRAPHITE GREY (RAL 7024), UMBRA GREY (RAL 7022), BLACK GREY (RAL 7021), ANTHRACITE GREY (RAL 7016), and SIGNAL WHITE (RAL 9003). All other colours from the RAL palette are available upon request.
There are plenty of ways we can customise your doors. Thanks to steel’s strength and high melting point, doors can be made up to 3 meters heigh, meaning the size is fully customisable to suit your opening. The shape of your door or window, including a variety of arches, which we template one-to-one to ensure a perfect fit is also something we offer.
We provide a wide range of colours, handles, and glass options to complement your design perfectly. And if you have something truly unique in mind that isn’t shown on our website, just let us know – we love a challenge!
Yes, we offer steel profiles that are fire-rated, which means they’ve gone through accredited testing and are certified for use in residential and commercial buildings. Before you start looking for fire rated doors for your home or commercial buildings, we advise that you have clear specification of the fire regulation required. At Bespoke Steel Doors, we offer steel profiles to meet the United Kingdom building regulations.
At Bespoke Steel Doors, none of our doors are off the shelf, every single one is custom made.
We can absolutely manufacture the doors in standard United Kingdom sizes, if that’s what you need, but even these are individually made for each customer.
As technology has advanced over the years, steel profiles have become more energy efficient than ever before. Today’s thermally broken steel profiles deliver exceptional insulation performance, achieving U-values that meet and often exceed all building control requirements.
Our showroom is currently being renovated to create the best possible experience for our clients. We’ll be sharing updates on our website soon!
Bespoke Steel Doors specialises in internal, external, fire rated and entrance steel products. For everyone that are looking to make a statement with their entrance doors, we have a wide range of premium steel entrance doors to choose from.

Yes, our surveyor is usually available within 2–3 working days to take precise measurements of your units and prepare the technical drawings needed for production.
Our quotations are valid for 14 days.
We created a table below which clearly compares both aluminium and steel with their features.
Feature | Steel | Aluminium |
Strength & Security | Extremely robust steel is 3× stronger than aluminium and resists forced entry and impacts. | Lighter and less impact-resistant; may require reinforcement for similar security levels. |
Fire Resistance | Achieve up to 120 minutes of fire ratings. | Lower fire performance; not naturally fire-resistant. |
Thermal Efficiency | With thermal breaks, achieves U-values that meet or exceed standards. | Aluminium transfers heat unless designed with thermal breaks, still typically less efficient. |
Durability & Longevity | With proper care, lasts 30 or even 50+ years. | Naturally corrosion-resistant, but dents and structural weaknesses appear sooner. |
Sound Insulation | Offers high STC ratings (up to 66) excellent acoustic barrier. | Less effective at soundproofing; aluminium transmits more noise. |
Maintenance & Sanitation | Easy to clean, variety of finishes, small dents can be repaired. | Minimal maintenance against rust; dents can be visible and permanent. |
Cost & Lifecycle Value | Often lower lifetime cost due to durability; initial price is competitive. | Generally cheaper upfront but may require repairs or replacement much sooner. |
There are many companies on the market offering steel products, and we understand it can be challenging to choose the right one when starting your project. We don’t compare our products to others because we believe they are truly one of a kind, and their quality simply cannot be measured against other options available elsewhere.
What sets us apart is not only the superior quality of our products but also the experience we deliver to our clients, something many other companies lack. We are committed to providing the best possible service, putting ourselves in our customers shoes because we understand how stressful the process can be.
That’s why we don’t just tell you how our products are different, we let the experience speak for itself. From start to finish, we guarantee a smooth journey and promise to exceed your expectations.
