Solidor Composite Doors – Strength, Security & Stunning Design
Premium Composite Doors Built for Security & Style
Solidor is one of the UK’s leading composite door manufacturers, offering a stunning collection of solid timber-core doors that combine exceptional security, thermal efficiency, and timeless style. Renowned for its industry-leading 48mm solid core construction, Solidor doors are heavier, stronger, and more secure than many standard composite doors, making them a top choice for homeowners looking to enhance their home’s entrance.
With an extensive range of styles, colours, and hardware choices, Solidor doors can be fully customised to complement both traditional and contemporary homes.
Materials & Construction
Solid Timber Core for Strength & Durability
Unlike many composite doors that use a foam core, Solidor’s 48mm solid hardwood core provides unmatched strength and stability. This extra-thick construction enhances the door’s impact resistance, longevity, and insulation, making it a far superior alternative to lightweight composite doors. The timber is sourced sustainably, ensuring an eco-friendly and fully recyclable product that maintains the warmth and security of your home.
Durable Weatherproof Skin
Solidor doors feature a tough and weather-resistant ABS plastic outer skin, the same ultra-durable material used in Lego® bricks. This ensures maximum colour retention and impact resistance, meaning your door will not fade, warp, or crack over time. The through-coloured finish means any scratches remain virtually invisible, maintaining the door’s sleek, polished look for years to come.
Steel-Reinforced uPVC Frame
Each Solidor door is encased in a reinforced, lead-free uPVC frame, offering superior stability and longevity. The multi-chambered design improves energy efficiency, while the Werbar recycled reinforcement system inside the frame provides greater structural integrity than traditional steel reinforcements.
Security Features
Industry-Leading Multi-Point Locking Systems
Security is a top priority with Solidor. Every door is fitted with an advanced multi-point locking system, including the exclusive Avantis Lock – which features the industry’s largest deadbolt for maximum resistance against forced entry.
Ultion 3-Star Anti-Snap Cylinder
Solidor doors come equipped with the Ultion 3-star anti-snap cylinder, one of the most secure locks available. This lock features an intelligent lock-down mode, which activates when an attempted break-in is detected, preventing the cylinder from being compromised. With Secured by Design accreditation and a £5,000 homeowner security guarantee, Ultion locks provide complete peace of mind.
Additional Security Enhancements
Solidor offers additional high-security features such as:
PAS 24:2016 certification – meeting rigorous security standards.
Winkhaus Auto-Locking System – automatically locks the door when closed.
Heritage AV2 Lock – a modern multi-point locking system designed to replicate a traditional key latch.

FAQ
What makes Solidor doors different from other composite doors?

Additionally, Solidor doors come with a high-security multi-point locking system, Ultion 3-star cylinder locks, and PAS 24 certification, offering industry-leading protection.
Are Solidor doors energy efficient?
Yes, Solidor doors are designed for exceptional thermal efficiency. The solid timber core provides natural insulation, reducing heat loss compared to traditional or foam-core composite doors. With U-values as low as 1.1 W/m²K, Solidor doors exceed UK Building Regulations, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The doors also feature thermally broken frames, weatherproof seals, and energy-efficient glazing options, further enhancing insulation.
