Hello everyone,

Our search for a front door that we like and that fits our budget has been somewhat frustrating.

Basically, we are looking for a door in a country or farmhouse style. The many catalogs I’ve browsed so far mostly offer nearly the same designs. However, we don’t really like any of them.

Therefore, we have already requested custom quotes from carpenters and window manufacturers and even saw a (wood) door once at an exhibition. The prices start at around 5,000€ and go up to 10,000€.

We planned a budget of 3,500€ gross, including installation costs.

We recently found the attached door online from the company Brunkhorst. Unfortunately, they are located far from us in Hamburg (postal code 33***). At this point, the options would be to have the door delivered and installed by someone else. However, this involves the risk of measurement errors on our side. Also, it is a wooden door, which is not bad in principle, but with the gable side facing south, the door would be exposed to weather all day. I was told that this is not ideal for wooden doors.

My request is whether you could check any catalogs you currently have access to and see if you recognize this door from the photo in a catalog and could provide the names of the suppliers. The door panels could then be ordered and installed locally by a company into a door frame.

I hope this will bring together some useful information. Thank you very much.

I would forget that very quickly and order the door with frame, wings, and panels all from one source.

For a wooden door of this quality level, I’m thinking of Pax AG. Wood can be treated; I wouldn’t attempt an imitation with this profiling, as it will look like a (unfortunately not cheaper) cheap fake.

Yes, but then the contractor could order the panel. That way, everything would come from one source. That’s exactly what I want. Door panels always come from external companies, and the window manufacturer builds the frame around them.

That depends on the quality; we’ve already seen plastic doors with profiling that didn’t look cheap. But to find out, we first need appropriate catalogs or suppliers.

I’ve looked at Pax now. Indeed, there is a quite similar door there, but the glass portion in the preview images looks extremely narrow. I’ve asked if that could be changed.
Thanks for the tip.

So Brunkhorst does have a dealer after all, Enno Roggemann in Harsum, Ems, and Bremen. Would it be possible to arrange this through him? Karsten

Harsum is not far away, but it would still be a wooden door. And I have been advised against that. I will definitely inquire anyway.

I have a wooden door with a kind of breakfast board-style coating (not sure what it’s exactly called, but it’s about 3–4 mm (0.1–0.15 inches) thick and is hard, scratch- and impact-resistant) in a gray wood finish. It looks great and is really unique. However, it’s not really a country-style door. I ordered the door in southern Germany and had it delivered by freight and installed by a local carpenter.

It cost around 400 euros, but you would pay for installation anyway. In our case, it also included a side panel.
