What is the Back Door?
A back door is an external door typically located at the back or side of a property, providing access to outside spaces such as a garden, patio, driveway, or yard. It's commonly used for daily entry and exit, particularly in homes where the front door is kept for visitors. Back doors are functional and secure in design and can have glazed panels to let in natural light, or be of solid construction to ensure privacy and insulation. In most houses, the back door opens from a kitchen, utility room, or hall and is a major contributor to ventilation, convenience, and general access to outside space.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you replace a back door?
Replacing a back door typically involves removing the old door and frame, checking the opening for damage or wear, and installing the new door set. Many modern back doors come as pre-hung units, complete with the frame included, making the installation process more straightforward. You’ll need to ensure the new door is level, secure, and properly sealed to prevent draughts or water ingress. If you're unsure, we recommend using a qualified installer for the best results.
How much do back doors cost?
Back door prices can vary depending on the material, style, and glazing options. At DoorStation, we offer a wide selection of back doors to suit all budgets, with finance options available to help spread the cost.
Can a back door open outwards?
Yes, many back doors are designed to open outwards, especially in properties where space inside is limited. Outward-opening doors are also standard in external French doors and stable doors, helping to maximise room layout and airflow. Just be sure to account for clearance and weatherproofing when planning the installation.
Can you move a back door?
Yes, it’s possible to move a back door to a different location on the same wall or even to another part of the house. This type of alteration may require structural adjustments, such as lintel installation, and potentially planning permission or building regulations approval, especially for load-bearing walls. It's best to consult a builder or structural engineer before starting the work.
