What Is a CompDoor Composite Door?

CompDoor composite doors are engineered from multiple high-performance materials bonded together to create a door that is stronger, more thermally efficient, and far more durable than timber or uPVC alternatives.

At the core is a solid, high-density inner construction that resists warping, cracking, and swelling — problems that plague traditional wooden doors. The outer skin is moulded to replicate the rich texture of real painted wood, giving you the aesthetic of a premium timber door without any of the ongoing maintenance.

Whether you're replacing an ageing front door or upgrading as part of a renovation, CompDoor delivers a product that looks premium, performs brilliantly, and stands the test of time.

SleekSkin — The Realistic Timber-Look Finish

SleekSkin is an optional upgrade available on CompDoor composite doors — a premium surface finish that replicates the authentic grain and depth of painted timber so convincingly, it's hard to tell the difference at first glance.

Choose to upgrade to SleekSkin and you get everything you love about that classic wood appearance — without the ongoing effort of sanding, priming, and repainting that traditional timber doors demand.

What makes SleekSkin stand out:

  • Authentic wood-grain texture that mimics the depth and character of real painted timber
  • Fade-resistant colour — stays vibrant without peeling, flaking, or chalking
  • Weatherproof performance — handles the full range of British weather without deteriorating
  • Wide colour palette — choose from a range of rich, contemporary shades to complement your home
  • No painting, no sanding, no maintenance — simply wipe clean and it looks as good as the day it was fitted

If you love the warmth of a timber door but want a practical, long-lasting finish for modern life, SleekSkin is an optional upgrade worth considering.

Advanced Security — Protecting What Matters Most

Security is at the heart of every CompDoor. These doors are designed to meet and exceed the expectations of homeowners who refuse to compromise on keeping their family safe.

Autofire Multi-Point Locking

CompDoor is fitted with an Autofire lock system — a high-security multi-point locking mechanism that engages multiple locking points simultaneously when the door is closed.

  • Multi-point engagement — rather than a single latch, Autofire secures the door at several points along the frame at once
  • Greater resistance to forced entry — distributes force across the door rather than concentrating it at one point
  • Automatic operation — locks engage simply by closing the door, so there's no chance of forgetting to secure it properly
  • Tested to PAS 24 — meets industry-recognised security standards for enhanced doorsets

Every locking point works together to make forcing the door open significantly harder for any would-be intruder.

The £2,000 ABS Avocet Homeowner Guarantee

CompDoor's lock cylinders are supplied by ABS Avocet, and they come with a remarkable level of backing: a £2,000 homeowner guarantee.

If an intruder breaks into your home as a direct result of snapping the lock cylinder, ABS Avocet will pay you £2,000.

This isn't a marketing promise — it's a formal guarantee that reflects just how confident ABS Avocet is in the strength and snap-resistance of their cylinders. Lock snapping is one of the most common methods used by burglars to gain entry, and this cylinder is engineered specifically to resist it.

What the guarantee covers:

  • Confirmed break-ins caused by lock cylinder snapping
  • Applicable to ABS Avocet cylinders fitted as standard to your CompDoor
  • A cash payment of £2,000 directly from ABS Avocet

It's the kind of peace of mind that's worth having — and it comes as standard.

Kubu Smart Technology — Keyless Entry for the Modern Home

Want to take your front door into the 21st century? CompDoor is compatible with Kubu Smart technology, turning your door into a connected, intelligent entry point for your home.

Kubu integrates directly with the door lock, letting you monitor and manage your front door from your smartphone — no complex installation, no separate smart locks bolted on.

What Kubu Smart gives you:

  • Keyless entry — unlock your door via your smartphone, no keys needed
  • Real-time notifications — get an alert the moment your door is opened, closed, or left unlocked
  • Remote locking — left home in a hurry? Lock your door remotely from anywhere
  • Guest access — share temporary digital access with family, friends, or tradespeople
  • Compatible with smart home systems — works alongside other connected home devices
  • No compromise on security — all smart features sit on top of the existing high-security locking system

The keyless entry upgrade is an optional add-on, available at the time of purchase and fitted seamlessly during installation. It's a particularly popular choice for busy families, those who frequently work from home, or homeowners looking to future-proof their property.
