Avoid online hardwood doors

Previously had great mdf doors from JeldWen a long used supplier in Texas. Since then spent over £800 on ridiculous excuse for an oak door which has taken ages to get replacement for cracked frame (drove 2 hrs to Leeds ourselves for that from LPD) and then warped threshold (took over 2 weeks) but the worst of it is the reality this is not only a pieced frame but a thin veneer door over layers of softer wood as revealed by the cores when installing lock sets. And yes, the door has warped straight away altho layers of finish per enclosed directives: non water base stain then varnish and heavier sealer for cut ends. We know what we are doing, having been in commercial construction 55 years US & UK. Bottom line UK: never buy a hardwood door online, go to a trusted local supplier, it's worth the extra cost. You don't want to burn £813 like we did.

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave your review although I am disappointed to hear of the issues you have experienced.

I am sorry that when the goods were initially delivered, there were damages to the items. We have all goods delivered direct from the manufacturer to ensure you receive them swiftly and we trust for them to deliver them in a good condition as we would. However, I am sorry that on this occasion that was not the case.

I can see the frame was sorted within 24 hours as you drove to collect this yourself, however, I am sorry that the threshold took longer than expected.

Should there be anything further I can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Refusal to replace a faulty door

Ordered a pocket door via our bathroom fitter, spending over £700 on the order, frame was delivered ok, the door was then delivered in a different shipment on the 12th October. The bathroom fitter, went to unpack and install the door on the 19th October and the door was faulty. Contacted DirectDoors immediately upon seeing the fault, who flat out refused to replace the door. They said their T&Cs said we had 48 hours to tell them about it. I contacted Citizen's Advice who said the refusal to replace the faulty door was a breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015. I took this information back to DirectDoors, who continued to flatly refuse to replace the door. I explained to them it's against the law to refuse to replace the faulty door as per Citizen's Advice information and they still refused. I am now in the process of continuing my complaint with Citizen's Advice. DirectDoors has now substantially disrupted the progress of the work we're doing, basically we're at a point now where nothing can get done until a new door is sourced, and DirectDoors are refusing. So we'll see what Citizen's Advice will assist with from here. Shall update in due course, but I'd steer VERY clear of this company as it seems this is a reoccurring problem. I'd give them zero stars if I could.
Update: spoke to the MD (apparently) who was unhelpful, adversarial and wanted to reinforce his clear view that this was our problem for not reporting the faulty door within 48 hours. Apparently a week is "well outside the timescales". I would think a week is a reasonable time frame. Anyway, the company was firm they refuse to partially refund (we only wanted the door replaced) refusing to replace, absolutely no regard for the customer and utterly appalling to deal with in every sense of the word. Wish I'd read all the other reviews that had similar experiences when there's a fault and the company does not care one bit about it.
Update: not “well over a week” but exactly a week the door was on premise untouched and upon immediate inspection after unpacking the door the fault was reported. As anyone will note from the reply below, DirectDoors does not give a flying f… about you when there’s a problem. AVOID. Clearly the rot starts at the top.

Hi Samuel,

It was myself who spoke to you over the phone for approximately 10 x minutes and I am sorry you feel I was unhelpful but as stated we asked the person who ordered it John to send us images of the damages and is clear that the door has been dunted or bashed to cause the door to have a crack, we explained that this would have been noticed well before then and guided him to like any other company who states all good must be checked for any faults or damages.

Our website clearly states to check all goods and report any faults/damages straight away, unfortunately this has not been done.

John or you have had a week to check the door and explained this to yourself and am sorry you relay that as being unhelpful.

To clarify the images, show a crack that has been done by hitting or lifting the door and dunting on the floor causing the crack and we cannot be responsible for that.



Kind regards,

John McMillan

Recurring theme - damaged doors - steer clear.

Only wish i had read recent reviews for this lot. I had door dropped off a week after the other parts, the delivery driver just left it in my garage and drove off without even knocking on my door, perhaps he already knew the door was damaged. Anyway i left it in my garage until weekend when my chippy fitted it, we took the packaging off to find dents and scratches over the door.
I contacted Direct Doors and after some consideration their excuse was they would not credit me or replace the damaged door as i should have reported damage within 24 hrs. Poor Poor Poor company to deal with.
I will also say very expensive these mexicana doors can be bought separately for about £130, which means there little bit of steel they supply cost nearly £300, a total rip off.
Steer clear

in reply to your email below i suggest you get your facts right the door as i stated above was delivered separately and was on the 21st of September, i had an email off your colleague Erin at 8.29 on the 21st as follows:-

Hi Neil,
I apologise for the delay in my response while I awaited the response from the manufacturer.
They have advised the door is out for delivery today.

Kind regards,

Erin
ORDERS TEAM

i have bought many doors for many projects off many companies this is the first time i have dealt with Directdoors and the first time i have been sent such rubbish.
I truly wish i had never come across DirectDoors.com

Hello,
Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We are no different from any other company in that we ask for any damages / issues to be reported within a reasonable time scale. As stated in our terms, the goods must be checked upon or within 24 hours of delivery and any issues reported to us immediately.

Your order was delivered on the 14th of September and the first we heard of any damage was Sunday the 25th of September, 11 days after the goods were received.

Despite this, my colleague Kiera did also contact the manufacturer to discuss the concerns raised however, due to the goods being reported out with the appropriate time scale, we cannot accept them back on this occasion.

Should there be anything further you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me.

One star is still too much for a company that supplies damaged doors and then refuses to do anything about it.

I certainly would not use them again. Please avoid all cost

Hello,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As you will know it was myself who has been dealing with the concerns you have raised.

The damage was not reported to us within a reasonable time scale. You had the goods delivered on the 30th of June and the first we were notified of any issues was the 2nd of August.

In the month it took for the damage to be reported, the goods had also been worked on and fitted thus deeming them as accepted. As I have explained in the emails, all products must be checked within 48 hours of delivery and any issues reported to us immediately, in writing.

Due to the goods being worked on and reported out with our terms, we cannot accept them back.
Should there be anything further you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Poor quality doors

I would avoid this company and their products. The quality of the doors certainly do not match the price tag. The door came damaged, but this was not seen by builders in time and their returns policy in my opinion does not represent the consumer.
Would never recommend nor use their products going forward.

All goods must be checked within a reasonable time scale and reported to us immediately should there be any discrepancies.

Having looked into this further, I cannot see we have ever been made aware of the damages until now, but I can see that you have sent an email which I will respond to and discuss further.

I would not touch these with a barge pole. Firstly I was told the doors were in stock but actually they were on back order for 8 weeks. Secondly they then sent the wrong doors. Once we received the correct doors, the colors didn't match and the only resolution offered was to buy the wood oil the manufacturer uses. After all the backwards and forwards they wont accept a return even though they are still fully packaged. I may as well have tipped £2.5k down the drain.

I would strongly AVOID!

No problems

No problem with the order, a sales person contacted me to make sure that the handles I ordered were correct, as I'm having a sliding door fitted.
Door arrived on schedule, all good.

I think they are con artists disguised…

I think they are con artists disguised as a genuine company. The doors arrived and were the wrong size. I contacted them immediately to explain the mistake and they took a long time to respond. After chasing they asked for photos which I sent. Then after more chasing they said that the manufacturers would return them for 20%! Reluctantly I agreed as I had no choice. Then after a few more days they said the manufacturers couldn't take them. I would not deal with them again. They hide behind 'manufacturer' but you can never speak to the manufacturer and so you don't have anybody to complain to. The doors were never opened, never used. Unless you are sure to the mm of your door size don't order from this company because they will really rip you off if you try to return it. I didn't even want a refund, I wanted an exchange! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID

Hello,

I have been made aware of this by my colleague Caitlyn who was dealing with your return request.

As per our returns form, you have stated that the door remains in the original packaging, but they were the incorrect size for what you needed. However, when the image was received the doors are very clearly out of the packaging. The returns policy clearly states all goods which are unwanted and to be returned must not be worked on and remain in the original packaging.

It is not without Sympathy and Caitlyn has done all she can to have the doors be accepted back but due to the goods being out with the packaging, we would be unable to resell the goods as they are not in the original condition supplied therefore, we cannot accept the goods back.

Should you wish to discuss any further, please do not hesitate to contact me on the below.

Pretty poor quality for the price

Pretty poor quality for the price. £1100 for a door. The frame is only a 3 piece and is cheap MDF. The paint all comes off when being trimmed. Doors themselves are ok quality. The pairmaker is absolute garbage and is cheap MDF. wanted to charge over a £100 for MDF footer as they don’t come with the door. Better using a local firm who fit, much better quality for better quality and a full service. Won’t use again.

UPDATE:

It gets worse. The handles/latches they sell don’t actually fit the doors and you can’t buy touch up paint. Despite them quoting a RAL number the paint doesn’t match. Absolute cheap rubbish (except they are expensive)

Hi Nick,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We do clearly state on our website that the frames are an MDF material and consist of two legs and the lintol which are prefinished in a black primer.

The frames have never been supplied with a bottom part and this is not something we have been asked before. My colleague Bradley had discussed this to see if we could cut a piece of timber to suit the overall door width and has provided a cost.

However, when discussing this with one of our bench hand joiners they felt it would be more beneficial for you to source a local merchant for this part and paint in the same RAL.

Should you wish to discuss this or anything else further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

*UPDATE*
Hi Nick,

I can confirm the ironmongery purchased is suitable for the doors you have. We sell over 400 of these products each month without any issues.

However, I do understand you are speaking with my colleague Kiera who is trying to assist you with the fitting of the goods. As she has made you aware, she is out of the office this afternoon and not back until Monday, but I will be available until 4.30pm should you require any assistance.

As for the RAL code, again, this is not something we have ever had issues in passing onto our customers. The code is 9005 10-15% glossiness and this can be taken to any paint stockist and they would be able to mix this for you.

Trusted Customer Thursday

Trusted Customer Thursday, 26 May 2022 Coventry Oak Door Pair - Clear Glass
It was a very easy website to navigate around making it very quick and straightforward to order the doors we wanted. We were kept informed from ordering to the delivery date.
When they arrived, luckily my husband was here to help the driver carry the doors into the house, as I wouldn't have been able to lift them as they were incredibly heavy. My husband shouldn't have done it as he has a bad back, but apparently there was no room on the lorry for a trolley!
Now we have had the doors installed they look amazing and we have had many lovely compliments about them.

£102 for bog standard door - joke!

Paid £102 for an internal door as size was smaller than standard door width and wanted good quality

As door was so expensive thought would be better quality as wanted a good solid door.

When delivered realised it was no better than bog standard doors you get from B & q
Then when my joiner came I was told it was too wide.
Contacted customer service about returning and was emailed to say cost for return would be £56 which I would have to pay up front before it was collected and there was no guarantee I would be refunded.
Absolute joke.

To make it worse my joiner said I could have got the correct door with correct size of 610mm width for £36 from Wickes which I have checked online and he is correct

They have standard answer to all complaints

But They never reply about their high prices

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I looked at the order and can see you have ordered the Colonial 6 Panel White Primed Door. The door is not a solid core but a hollow core which we clearly state on the product page.

In the return email to you, we clearly state there will be a charge for collection and whilst we appreciate you did not wish to pay this, we have provided an alternative option for you to return by your own means. In most circumstances, we do prefer for customers to do this but we do wish to help our customers by offering a collection service.

If there is anything further, I can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Great problem-solving and customer service

The customer support staff were incredibly helpful when I experienced a problem with making an online payment. They managed to find a flexible workaround and were supportive in getting the order processed and the delivery booked. The delivery driver was also very helpful and went the extra mile to bring the door into the garage for my elderly parents.

Really love this website

Really love this website, it has a door for every room.
We chose sliding hanging Oak doors for our bedroom en-suite, they look amazing and very different. Also a very narrow glass door for our bathroom. Our house is a little thatched cottage, so hard to find a company that can supply all sizes. Deliver was also very very good.
