Internal Doors

Our internal doors combine contemporary design with functional durability. Available in oak, walnut, laminate, and painted finishes, they cater to diverse interior styles from classic panelled to modern industrial. Each door undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure dimensional stability and long-term performance. Suitable for residential and commercial applications, our range includes fire-rated options and bespoke designs to meet specific project requirements.

External Doors

Softwood boarded external doors provide durable solutions for outbuildings and garages. FSC-certified timber ensures sustainable sourcing while weather-resistant construction protects against UK climate conditions. Available in standard sizes with optional finishing treatments, these doors balance practicality with aesthetic appeal. Complemented by matching door linings and frames for complete installation solutions.

Doorsets

Factory-assembled doorsets include frames, ironmongery, and door leaves for seamless installation. Available as standard or fire-rated options, they reduce onsite labour costs through quick-fit design. Each set undergoes compliance testing for security and fire resistance, including PAS 24 certification for apartment entrance doors and EI30 fire ratings for safety-critical applications.

Pocket Door Systems

Space-saving pocket door systems feature pre-assembled frames for rapid installation. Compatible with most internal door designs, they include adjustable hardware for precise alignment. Available in single and double configurations, these systems incorporate acoustic insulation properties while maintaining structural integrity for both residential and commercial environments.

Premium acoustic wall panels merge sound absorption with contemporary aesthetics. Available in oak veneer and laminate finishes, they feature FSC-certified MDF cores and fire-retardant backing.

JB Kind have provided me with all the doors I needed for a development project. The doors arrived on time and they represent excellent value for money as well as looking good. This is the second time I have used their products and I would have no hesitation in dealing with J B Kind again in the future.

Purchased eleven oak doors through tippers jb kind doors two of which had glass in them. The doors delivered to me sept time joiner came dec to fit them. One big mistake didnt unwrap and also knew they stopped making doors. The doors looked lovely I must admit but very rough in parts of the panels. The big problem was the glass absolutely disgusting they told me it was moisture where I have stored them . They had been stored in my living room. I heard all excuses moisture my joiner and policys tippers didnt even no they had. Would never use again absolute rubbish......

We bought 2 JB Kind doors 3 years ago which we were very pleased with, so although there were cheaper doors out there, we spent 400 thinking we were getting the quality and because of this we didn't unwrap the doors to check them before they were fitted. One wasn't too bad but the other the veneer around the glass is badly fitted and the grain in sections is black in colour. This wouldn't be a problem if I was painting the door, but then I wouldn't have got an oak veneer.
Doorsuperstore couldn't be more helpful but KB Kinds response was far from apologetic. We have just purchased another six

JB Kind cannot manufacture doors with windows within them. I purchased I had purchased a total of 7 doors from a distributor and they were installed and fitted. All of the Ivory Laminated range, and two which were glazed. Of both of the glazed ones, the trim around the glass has started to come away, one really badly. I've actually had to take them off completely and remove the glass from both because I fear they'll just fall out. The quality of the glue holding the glass/trim in is poor and it's so disappointing. The disti offered me a goodwill gesture of 25 per door or they can replace the

We had a horrible experience with JB Kind and ALSO door Superstore. Two of the doors my partner ordered were of a completely different colour compared to the others. We made the mistake of not checking the doors immediately and, when we realized, we contacted J B Kind and also Door Superstore. Both companies were far from helpful and unbelievably slow. As a result, after a month spent making calls and sending emails to these guys, we are still waiting for our doors to be delivered and, needless to say, the delivery date has been completely disregarded. We were supposed to receive the doors last
