Bundle Guide — What Else Do You Need?

A complete door set depends on the door material, the function required and whether it is a double door.

1What is your door made of?

Timber doorMost internal doors. Installs with the included wood screws. Typical thickness 35–45 mm.

Aluminium doorTypical thickness 44–55 mm. May need aluminium-specific fixings — confirm the latch or lock suits your frame profile.

2What does the door need to do?

PassageBedrooms, living rooms, studies — the door opens and closes but never locks.

You need tube latch

PrivacyBathrooms, ensuites and bedrooms — locks from the inside with a snib, emergency release outside.

You need tube latch + privacy turn, or a privacy mortice lock

Euro — keyedFront and back doors — locks with a key using a euro-profile cylinder.

You need euro mortice lock + euro cylinder

Skeleton KeyHeritage and period doors — locks with a traditional lever key.

You need 3 or 5 lever mortice lock + escutcheon

Backset & door thickness The backset is the distance from the door edge to the spindle centre — tube latches come in 45, 60 and 70 mm; mortice locks in 44, 46 and 57 mm. Measure before ordering. A rebated double door needs the rebated version of the lock.

3Is it a double door?

Double doors need flush bolts to secure the inactive leaf. Doors under 2100 mm: a 150 mm bolt top and bottom. Doors 2100 mm and above: a 300 mm bolt top and 150 mm bottom. Flush bolts are available non-lockable or key-lockable.

Hinges — Which One Do You Need?

Hinge type	Best for	Why
Ball bearing	Entrance and heavier doors	Bearings reduce friction and wear — best for high-use doors.
Fixed pin	Internal and lighter entrance doors	A reliable all-rounder for most internal applications.
Loose pin	Internal use — ideal for bathrooms	The pin withdraws so the door lifts off without unscrewing the hinge.
Parliament	Doors that must open 180°	Projects the door clear of the frame or architrave so it swings back against the wall.

Three hinges per door is standard for internal and entrance doors.
