I am currently in the processes of starting to obtain quotes to replace the windows and front door in our porch and we have seen a double rebate composite door that we like the look of.
It is more of a modern/contemporary style with just the keyhole and a long stainless bar handle.
Having spoken to one glazing company, they have said they are not supplying them in that configuration at present as it can prove almost impossible to open the door without a normal handle, as the double seal makes it harder to open/close and lock.
This is only one company has mentioned this, but he was quite honest about it so I guess it is a valid concern.
Has anyone on here had similar issues or if this is instead potentially a fitting issue, and there should not really be a problem otherwise you wouldn't be able to spec a door with this set up?
Thanks!
