If you are in the market for a highly-customised front door, then we think The Door Store is worth a visit. They can actually send an estimator over to your house to give you a free quote, and there’s no pressure to hire them at all.

We like how they have a wide selection of front door types. This will allow customers to choose the perfect door based on their own preferences, without being boxed in by a limited selection.

If you are the creative  type who wants a unique front door, you can even choose your door’s colour, size, and style. The Door Store can manufacture and supply doors based on customised designs, which we think is pretty great.

As a cherry on top, they also sell a wide variety of designer door handles. For those who want their front door to really pop, then this would be a great option for you.

To complement the manufacture of your door, they also offer bespoke joinery services, which we think is quite convenient. These include hiring them to create the door framework or even to replace your skirting board.

Aside from joinery, they also offer door paint stripping and varnishing services. Their door varnishing service is actually comparatively affordable– £25 for 4 coats of satin or gloss varnish– while, on average, this service costs around £40.

Unfortunately, for those who work during the week, they are actually closed on Sundays. Thus, you would need to visit their showroom only on Saturdays.

Speaking of their showroom, we heard reports of very rude behaviour from their showroom staff. Customers apparently felt the staff were quite unaccommodating and seemed bored and disinterested while assisting them.

The Door Factory is another go-to door shop for your front door needs. They also offer a free home visit and quote, and they pride themselves in being able to cover not just Glasgow but all of Scotland.

They specialise in Never Paint Again doors, which is a revolutionary range of internal uPVC doors that are easy to clean and never require painting. We believe this type of front door is perfect for those who want their doors to be no-fuss no-muss.

They also have a wide selection of sliding doors, and these doors would be great for front and patio doors. This option is also ideal for those with small spaces or who love natural lighting.

For those on a budget, they pride themselves on always having various promos and offers at hand. You just need to call them up, and they will inform you of the promos they have as of the moment.

If you want a one-stop shop, then you can also hire them for joinery or hanging and fitting services. This will save you the trouble and energy to look for another company for these add-on services.

Sadly, they tend to have long turnaround times for deliveries. Some even take more than six weeks, while some shops can deliver and install doors within a week.

Also, several customers complained about their in-store service. They were prepared to order doors in bulk (more than 10), however, due to the reportedly rude sales staff, they took their business elsewhere.

Custombuilt Joinery Limited is another solid choice if you are planning to install a new front door. They also offer free quotes if you just want to plan out your budget.

Unlike other shops, they specialise in creating high-quality, customised, storm front doors. You can choose from having storm doors built in all sizes and styles, and they’d also be able to design one based on your budget and your property’s existing decor. 

Aside from storm doors, they also offer a wide range of door finishing options that not all shops offer. These include glazing, leaded designs, stained glass, sandblasted features and etched details.

For those who prioritise security, you can also ask them to install multi-point locking systems. This extra layer of protection will certainly help customers sleep more soundly at night.

We appreciate their extensive online gallery, which not all companies have. Here, customers can browse through clear images of various types of doors and finishings, allowing them to choose while being in the comfort of their homes.

Unfortunately, they are closed during weekends, unlike other companies who are open on Saturdays. Those who are busy working the whole week need to actually take time off work if they want to visit their showroom.

Compared to other shops, they also have a limited selection of doors. For instance, if you want French doors, you’d need to hire someone else.

Another Glasgow-based door company is Bespoke Bifolds & Glazing Systems. One can view their selection of quality bifold, sliding, and Smart designer doors in their spacious and well-lit showroom.

For those with busy schedules, you can simply submit your door measurements online, and they’d be able to provide a free quote.

Not all companies are equipped to manufacture bifold doors, but they are.This upscale shop specialises in bespoke bifold doors, which are doors that slide open and are made from a series of panels that fold up against the wall. 

For the security-conscious, you can also choose one of their Smart Designer doors. These doors are resistant to 80 kg of pressure per hinge, have a polyamide thermal barrier that retains heat, and special gaskets to provide enhanced weather protection.

Even though this shop is closed on Sundays, you can still meet with them on Sundays by appointment only. This is great for those with busy work weeks.

The downside is they do not offer free home visits unlike other shops. They only provide online quotes.

Also, they have a very limited range of doors. Thus, if customers want to install a bifold front door plus a french door or a pine door for their other rooms, they’d need to hire another company.

Lastly, customers have expressed their frustration over their unskilled technicians. Due to faulty installations, their expensive bifold doors were ruined, and they were unable to resolve the issue. 

Southside Window System is another top choice for people in Glasgow when looking for front doors. In fact, they claim that 85% of their customers are from word-of-mouth referrals, which is a testament to their skills.

They also pride themselves on being able to give a quote in half an hour. This will certainly be convenient for those with busy schedules and do not have time to book home visits.

Unlike other shops, they sell Palladio doors, a one-of-a-kind door collection designed and created in 2008. This is great news for those who want their entrance doors to stand out.

We are also impressed with their highly-skilled fitters and installers. Each technician of this company has a minimum of ten years of experience, ensuring that customers are given top-notch fitting and installation services.

They also offer door repair services, which not all shops do. If your current front door is busted, but you do not want to replace it yet, then they’d be the ones to call.

However, do note that their range of doors is quite limited. This is not the place if you want French, aluminium, or bifold doors.

Also, we were disappointed to hear about some customers being stood up. Customers took the time to wait for their scheduled bookings, however, the installers did not come, which highly-inconvenienced them.

LKC Locksmiths Glasgow is an independent family-run business that mainly provides locksmith services with 24-hour emergency services.

Other than locksmith services, they offer services for uPVC Doors and Windows, and Electronic Locks and Keypads.

They’re UPVC Door Repair Specialists. While UPVC doors are known to be durable and secure, they can of course, encounter issues over time so they’re here to help.

We think they’re experts at providing hassle-free solutions for door repairs and are knowledgeable at realigning and adjusting doors to their proper position.

Compared to other companies in this list, we think they’re more useful once you have your front doors and they aren’t initially the ones to approach for selecting and buying doors.

Their team conveniently serves different areas like Glasgow, South Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire, and places in between!
