Find another door company

If you want to inspect the quality of your purchase you must do so without unwrapping it first... even though you can't see the product or take photographs with the cover on... once the cover is removed..you have excepted the product as it is and it can no longer be returned.
Once you have unwrapped it you will see all the faults... bad matching of veneer...marks...and joins in the vanneers that are clearly visible. but can only be seen after removing the plastic cover.. once a finish has been applied the colour differences and badly matched vanneers will be 10 times mores visible. By which time its far to late to change them...
My best advice if your looking for quality and good after sales service is! Find another door company. I've already contacted customer support.. with zero support just some pre written replies not excepting responsibility and quoting the lies they put on thier Web page

Hi Rob,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
It is clearly stated to check all goods upon delivery or within 48 hours and report any issues to us immediately. The goods must remain in the packaging for them to be accepted back, which is why they are delivered wrapped in clear packaging.
With any Veneered door, we cannot guarantee an exact match. Due to this being a natural timber and no two trees being the same, any grain / colour in the door will vary.
Normally, once we had received the imagery showing the doors having been fully removed from the packaging there would be nothing we could do however, I can see my colleague has tried to discuss further with the customer service team on this occasion but unfortunately, their stance remains the same.
I understand this was not the outcome you were hoping for, and should there be anything further I can assist with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Carpenter was very impressed with the door, which is a solid core, so happy with that. the delivery of the door itself was pain-free. Unfortunately, the delivery company they use to deliver the door furniture - which for some reason they send out separately - screwed it all up royally. DX express provided tracking so I could watch in real time, as they drove away from my town without having delivered the parcel - twice. I gave them a separate review, the parcel arrived a week late, after multiple emails. Direct Doors need to change that delivery company, or alternatively - send out the door furniture with the door, which would be more logical, surely.

Damaged order

I received my order of Thru Pairmaker - Black Primed in a large undamaged cardboard tube. I viewed the product from the end of the tube and presumed because the packaging was solid and unharmed, that the product would be OK. By the time it came to fit the pairmaker and removed it from the packaging, it was evident the product was seriously damaged in several areas. It must have been knowingly posted in a damage state. Because I didn't realise this until several months later, I have been told to pay for another, even though the problem is down to the duplicity of Direct Doors

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
It is clearly stated to check all goods upon or within 48 hours of delivery and any issues must be reported to us immediately.
It would never have left our warehouse damaged as all goods go through extensive quality control checks throughout manufacture and prior to dispatch.
I understand you have now ordered a new a pairmaker which our Warehouse Supervisor checked and took photos of prior to dispatch.
If there is anything further I can assist with, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Their returns policy is particularly bad. Having erroneously ordered the wrong door as we were informed over the phone that we couldn't see what "options" meant unless we chose a door - I randomly highlighted a door to see what it meant. I completely forgot to delete it. The invoice I received I assumed was for the door we wanted - my error. We returned the door with the courier with their kind permission but we still had the tracking which had been sent a week before in separate packages. Not unreasonably we opened the parcels to check them but didn't keep the packaging. I informed them of this when they offered a refund once we returned the tracking to them. £20 later the carefully packaged tracking was returned to them, on which we were told that it had to be the original packaging as they couldn't resell it otherwise!!! So they now have both the door and tracking ostensibly for a refund and are claiming that the tracking belongs to us "so what are you going to do about it."!!
It took me a while to realise how the incorrect door had come to be ordered and I appreciated their offer
to refund but feel this is pretty shoddy treatment with the tracking.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I can see the emails between yourself and my colleague Cody who requested images of the track to see if it could be accepted for a return.
The image we received, as you have mentioned, showed the track and fixings no longer in the original packaging.
Cody responded to your email asking if you still had the original box and clearly stated that it needs to be in a resalable condition and packaged back in the box as it was originally delivered.
Upon arrival at the warehouse yesterday, the goods were received without the packaging as requested as well as some items opened, therefore, it is no longer classed as a good resalable condition and has not been accepted for a return.
We can provide a refund for the door only however the track will not be accepted and will remain your property.

Excellent customer service …

Wrong part sent from the manufacturer but the customer service was excellent and sorted the issue without any trouble and very quickly. Door handles now fitted, look good and work well.

Extortionate Price for Door Kit

In January I ordered and paid for a set of 3 sliding made to measure doors and door kit. At the time I was just given one figure to pay with no breakdown. I received the door kit approx. a week later with the doors scheduled for June. Ahead of the doors arrival I had my carpenter fit the door frame - the doors never came. Upon chasing my order and after a few days of no response from Direct Doors I was told there was a crisis. It transpired that XL Joinery the suppliers to Direct Doors had gone into administration. Whilst this is not the fault of Direct Doors what happened next really shocked me and left me livid. I was offered 3 options - a refund for the doors, to wait until an administrator was appointed to see where or if my doors were out there or re-order another set of doors waiting another 25-30 weeks for their arrival. I opted for a refund and was asked if I would be returning the door kit - which was not possible. My refund was reduced by £814.49 with Direct Doors stating this was the cost of the Door Kit. This kit is not substantial and having checked with other door companies this price is at least £500 over what it should be. So beware when being quoted an all in price. Direct Doors had held my money since January and when asked to clarify this cost just confirmed it. I would never use Direct Doors again.
In response to your reply my order was made over the phone not online and I would like you to confirm that the 300 orders mentioned were all at the exorbitant £814.49 price per kit.

Hello,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
All orders placed via our website are paid for in full at the point of purchase. We offer systems, like the one you have, as a bundle at a discounted rate as opposed to purchasing the goods as individual items.
Our bespoke doors are manufactured overseas which is why they are on a much longer lead time compared to the track + frame kit which we do in house.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of your doors, XL Joinery, went into administration and we had no indication this was going to happen.
I can see several emails between yourself and my colleague David who notified you about XL’s position and the doors being unavailable.
In the emails David asked if you wanted to return the frame also however, you advised that the frame has been fitted so, to just refund the doors which is why you have only been partially refunded.
Our frame / track kits are supplied pre-dilled and cut to size upon receipt of order. I can’t speak on behalf of other companies, but we sell over 300 of these kits each month without any issues.
If you want to return the frame kit, we are happy to accept this back and supply a full refund. Please email info@directdoors.com to arrange this should you wish to proceed with this option.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should there be anything further I help you with.

Hello,
The order was placed via our website, due to security reasons we do not take any orders over the phone and we also do not have the facilities to take an order over the phone.

Excellent customer service!

I contacted customer service to ask if it was possible to get a sample of the oak veneer from the Carini doors to colour match with a choice of engineered wood floorings we had available. I got a response within 24 hours from Neave and she arranged for a sample to be sent within 48 hours. Excellent customer service - problem addressed quickly and efficiently. Thank you Neave!

The veneer is an excellent match to our preferred choice of floor, so we are very happy and will be ordering the Carini doors when we are at the interior fit stage.

Awful doors very very poor quality (I am a joiner so I know what im talking about) took several photos of the door with multiple cracks and damage and was refused a refund. Thats the type of people you're dealing with, sell cheap crap then refuse a refund, I promise you you will be disappointed. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Hi Scott,

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

It is clearly stated on our website to check all doors upon or within 48 hours of delivery and any issues are reported to us immediately.

The doors were delivered to you in December, and nothing was reported to us until April. Although the doors had been out of our care for several months, I did look into this further with the customer service team but unfortunately, their stance was the same as ours that due to the length of time it took to report this, unfortunately we were unable to offer a replacement on this occasion.

Wide range of good quality doors, recommended

I spent ages looking for a door with glass panels at the top and there were slightly cheaper options, but the one at Direct Doors looked so much better and a few pounds more felt worth it for something that's going to be in our hallway for a long time.
Delivery was free and quick, with our fitter being very impressed with the quality of the door. It's now been hung and was even admired by the people who bought the old one from me!
The glass panels have a plastic coating that's great when you're oiling or painting the door but, as others have commented, quite difficult to remove because it's fitted under the edges of the frame.
We are planning to buy more replacement doors when finances permit, so will definitely use this company again.

DirectDoors Review

DirectDoors were easy to deal with via their website.

All the doors I ordered were delivered on time and without any damage, I would happily use them again.
