Terracotta Front Door by Greenwich Joinery
Here is a front door by Greenwich Joinery with exceptional colour and craftsmanship — where the hardware was considered as part of the design, not added afterwards.
The Brief
Character
Preserve the architecture
Maintain the period proportions of the door and its arched surround.
Security
Deliver high-security locking
Meet home insurance standards without compromising the design.
Coherence
Create a considered finish throughout
Every external detail — locks, furniture, letterplate — to feel intentional.
The Challenge
Most door hardware doesn't match.
Different manufacturers, limited finishes, and variations in colour leave most doors looking like an afterthought.
The Solution
A Finfort Door Lock Set — Satin Brass
Paired with matching Heritage Brass door furniture for a fully coordinated entrance.
Security
Automatic deadbolt nightlatch
Locks automatically on door close — secured with a 21mm steel deadbolt.
Compliance
BS3621-rated manual deadbolt
Insurance-rated deadbolt included as standard in the Dual Set.
Convenience
Fully keyed-alike
One key operates both locks from outside.
Finish
Consistent satin brass throughout
Colour-matched across locks, letterplate, knocker and numerals.
Every element — from locks to letterplate — works together as part of a single design.
The Result
The hardware sits naturally within the door's design
Finish
Warmth throughout
Satin brass complements the terracotta without competing with it.
Proportion
True to the period
Hardware scale and profile sit naturally within the door's architecture.
Security
No visual compromise
High security achieved without any disruption to the design.
From a distance, the door feels balanced and architectural.
Security Built In
Both locks are fully morticed — so on the internal, all you see are the sleek escutcheon plates and Finfort door pull. No bulky surface-mounted hardware, just clean lines and more of the door itself.
In their Words
We love our door — we've already recommended Finfort to my sister, who chose them for her front door too.
