Timber Stable Doors in Menai Bridge
Timber Stable Doors made to measure for homes across Menai Bridge, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
Specifying a door for Menai Bridge
Menai Bridge sits on the coast, so doors here deal with salt-laden air as well as rain. Salt is hygroscopic — it holds moisture against the surface long after the weather has passed — which is why standard softwood and standard ironmongery both fail early within about a mile of open water.
Housing in and around Menai Bridge is largely stone and rendered cottage stock, which suits ledged, braced and boarded doors with a plank face and long strap hinges. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
Do the two halves lock together?
Yes. A stable door has a shootbolt or drop bolt that ties the leaves so the whole door operates as one when closed.
Which ironmongery survives salt air?
Grade A4 (marine) stainless steel. Standard A2 stainless and lacquered brass both fail within a few years within about a mile of open water.
Does sea air really affect a timber door?
Yes, in two ways. Salt is hygroscopic so it holds moisture against the surface, and airborne chloride corrodes standard ironmongery quickly. Both are solvable at specification stage.
What door suits a stone cottage?
A ledged, braced and boarded door with long strap hinges. Openings are usually low and rarely square, so the door is made to the opening as found.
What happens if the door needs adjusting later?
First-season adjustment is included. Timber settles, buildings move, and a small tweak after a winter is normal rather than a fault.
Can you replace the frame as well as the door?
Yes, and often it is the better answer. A new leaf in a rotten frame will not seal properly however well the door itself is made.
