FAQ: Composite Doors Suppliers

What should trade buyers check before changing composite door suppliers?

Trade buyers should check lead times, product testing, accreditations, colour options, glazing options and communication standards. A reliable supplier should also support repeat orders, project specifications and clear delivery planning.

Why do lead times matter when choosing a composite door supplier?

Reliable lead times help installers, contractors and housing providers plan work with less disruption. This is important for phased projects, resident appointments and tight installation schedules, where delays can affect labour, access and customer satisfaction.

Should composite door suppliers provide PAS 24 evidence?

Yes. Trade buyers should ask for evidence that the complete doorset has been tested to PAS 24, not just individual parts. This helps support security requirements for new build, refurbishment and social housing projects.

Can composite doors be used for social housing and local authority projects?

Yes. Composite doors can suit social housing and local authority projects where security, durability, thermal performance and low maintenance matter. Shelforce can support these projects with trade composite doors tailored to the specification.
