French Double Doors | Timber & Wooden External Designs

French doors

Proportioning is key when it comes to French double doors. The height of the bottom panel plays a crucial role in maintaining a slender, elegant appearance. Poorly proportioned panels can make double French doors look heavy and unbalanced.

French Door Styles

Our timber French doors can be tailored to suit your design requirements by using a variety of glazing bars and panel styles. Westbury French doors incorporate full-height glass or beautifully detailed panels, with a number of glazing bar options. They can be fitted with Parliament hinges to fold back fully, allowing for a seamless transition between indoors and out. Wooden French doors can add charm and character to any home.

Our range of inward and outward-opening French doors has been developed for security, performance and long life.


As with all Westbury doors, our external French doors are independently tested to ensure they provide maximum security and thermal performance. The hind door (also termed the ‘slave leaf‘) has concealed top and bottom bolts, both operated by a single discreet lever at waist level within the door thickness. The main door, or master leaf, of the French door is fitted with a multi-locking system, providing excellent security and peace of mind.

All of our double French doors are fitted with British pre-hung projection hinges, which enable the doors to open right back, as well as top-quality British ironmongery.

What they say

The service we received was first-class

We gave a sizeable order to Westbury Windows for our new build house. The service we received was first class. We went to their factory before giving them our order and we were very impressed with what we saw. They were very pleasant and a joy to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble and they responded to all enquiries efficiently. We were very satisfied with everything that was produced for us and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Amazing windows and doors

My wife and I got in touch with Westbury not really knowing what we wanted for our Garden Room, all we knew was we didn’t want the normal. We met with Rob and his team and can honestly say we were hooked and loved the products that Westbury had to offer. We used the Westbury fitters to install the product and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. Extremely professional from start to finish and provided us an amazing product!

We’re very pleased with our roof lantern

We purchased a roof lantern from Westbury at the end of last year and our experience from start to finish was brilliant. Our sales advisor, Rob, was superb. He guided us through the process, steering the design so it really complemented our Georgian house. In hindsight our original idea wasn’t quite right and Rob was really knowledgeable when it came to getting this right for us. After install we had a couple of remedial bits but the after sales team immediately arranged for somebody to come and have a look and it was all rectified pretty swiftly. We’re really pleased with the end result and would definitely recommend Westbury.

What are French Doors?

The configuration of a door’s panels defines whether it is a French door. Two door panels that feature wider top and bottom rails, especially if they are adorned with a window grid of some kind, would be considered a French door.

What is the difference between a French Door and a French Double Door?

French doors offer a classic, ageless appearance, with two sides that open outwards. Double doors provide a grand entrance, with two entryways that open inwards.

Why do they call it a French Door?

French doors get their name due to their first emergence and popularity in 17th Century France during the Renaissance Period.
