What is a 4-Panel Door?
A 4-panel door is an internal or external door that features four distinct decorative panels. The panels are traditionally arranged vertically and set within a timber frame. Their elegant design can feature glazed panels, allowing natural light to filter through and unglazed panels for complete privacy. For a more contemporary style, choose Oak Modica, our sleek minimalist 4-panel exterior door featuring horizontal, filled panelling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should external doors open in or out?
Most external front doors open inwards for security, convenience, and to protect against the weather. The hinges on inward-opening doors are hidden, making them more difficult to interfere with. Inward opening also allows easy access for homeowners and emergency services, and it provides more protection against snow, rain and wind. Click here for an in-depth review.
Do you supply made-to-measure external doors?
Yes. At Door Station, we offer a bespoke, made-to-measure service for those door openings that don’t quite fit the standard. Our custom door options provide a solution for unusual spaces, accessibility requirements and more.
Do I need planning permission to add an external door?
In most cases, replacing or installing a front door falls within permitted development rights, meaning you don’t need planning permission. However, certain situations may require approval, so it’s always advised to consult with the local planning authority beforehand. Read “Do I Need Planning Permission to Add an External Door” for full details.
What is the difference between an internal and external 4-panel door?
Internal and external doors have different requirements in terms of security, privacy and the weather. Although they look the same, internal and external 4-panel doors are constructed very differently. An exterior door is made from strong, durable hardwood, with locks, seals and weather-resistant finishes, while an interior door is much lighter and less durable.
