Although the company itself is relatively new, the owner has over 30 years in the industry and his dedication to quality and attention to detail is evident in the beautifully crafted garage doors that his company produces.


The new Balmoral and Warwick ranges are no exception. Both these ranges are part of the outstanding Coach House Collection and showcase the exceptional joinery skills of the Woodrite team.

The Balmoral range is handcrafted from quality Cedar, to give an enduring appeal in 24 designs, including up and over doors, traditional side hinged doors, and matching personnel doors. The Warwick range offers both panel-built and solid-built door options in Idigbo. The range again includes up and over, side hinged and personnel doors. All of the Warwick range doors are fully finished as standard in a choice of 3 oak finishes with matching timber frames also available.


These standard or made to measure sized doors are now available from Doorfit and we offer a comprehensive installation service, that complements the exquisite craftsmanship, and the resulting strength and integrity of the doors with superior installation services to prolong the life, function and appearance.

The solid panels are made on the specialist automated router, which, despite being a huge, heavy piece of machinery, is capable of producing incredibly detailed, fine work and clean profiles. Not only that, but Woodrite ensure the longevity of all their doors by individually dipping each panel in preservative, to ensure it effectively penetrates right to the edges and provides complete protection.
