Everyday joinery
Back doors in more colours, more layouts and more everyday settings.
Back doors work harder than most entrances: daily traffic, weather, security and utility-room life. These examples show a broader range of colours, opening types and practical settings, but every door is made to order.
Designed around the property
Choose a back door style around the way the room works.
These examples show different back-door approaches rather than one repeated setting: painted and natural-oak doors, kitchen thresholds, utility-room layouts, courtyard openings and garden-facing everyday entrances. Colours shown are examples only and every door is made to order.

Buying & specification guide
Specifying a hardwood back door for everyday use
Useful questions to resolve before the final survey and manufacturing specification.
A back door has to deal with regular traffic, wet weather, security and the practical needs of kitchens and utility rooms. That makes threshold, glazing, handle position and durability especially important.
Box Sash manufactures bespoke back doors from sustainably sourced hardwood and describes security, acoustic and weather performance as central to the specification.
Daylight vs privacy
Half-glazed and obscured-glass designs can bring light into utility spaces without exposing the room.
Threshold & weathering
The cill and surrounding paving should be considered together to manage everyday weather exposure.
Coordinate with the rest of the house
Paint, panel layout and hardware can be matched to nearby windows and doors.

A survey is the quickest way to establish the proportions, performance requirements and finish that make sense for the property.
