Restore period character with the Liberty Doors Oak 1930s DX four-panel internal door. Its balanced panel layout is inspired by traditional 1930s joinery, giving bedrooms, home offices, bathrooms and living spaces a solid, private door with warm natural oak character.
Grafton Carpentry supplies and professionally fits this door throughout Leicester and locations within roughly one hour of the city. The displayed price includes professional fitting rather than being a supply-only price. Suitable standard handles and essential fitting hardware are included with qualifying fitted jobs.
Classic 1930s four-panel design
The door uses four simple recessed panels arranged in the familiar DX style. Without glazing, it provides greater visual privacy than a glazed alternative and works well where a calm, traditional appearance is preferred. Its restrained detailing suits original 1930s houses, sympathetic renovations and newer homes that need a subtle period influence.
This Liberty Doors model has a solid engineered core with oak surfaces and substantial lippings. The engineered construction provides stability and weight while the oak gives natural grain and colour variation. It should not be described as one piece of solid oak throughout.
An unfinished oak door ready for your chosen finish
The door is supplied unfinished, allowing you to choose a compatible oil, varnish or stain to coordinate with flooring, furniture and existing woodwork. A clear or lightly tinted oil can preserve a natural appearance, while suitable stains can deepen the tone and bring out more contrast in the grain.
Finishing is essential rather than optional. After any permitted trimming and preparation, all required faces and edges should be protected promptly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Real oak varies naturally, so the finished colour can differ between doors and from a small sample. Testing the finishing product where practical helps set expectations.
Standard, made-to-measure and bi-fold options
The standard sizes listed on this page suit many common openings. A made-to-measure option may be appropriate when an existing frame is outside standard dimensions or when excessive adjustment would otherwise be required. This page also allows you to enquire about a bi-fold configuration for locations where swing space is limited.
Made-to-measure and bi-fold doors require additional assessment and are not simply standard doors cut down on site. We confirm the opening, intended configuration, hardware and lead time before finalising the quotation.
Why professional fitting matters
Existing frames can be out of square, and the manufacturer’s trimming allowances vary by edge. For the standard door specification, the side and bottom allowances are greater than the top allowance, so uncontrolled planing can damage the construction or spoil the panel proportions. Hinge positions, floor clearance and latch alignment must also be considered together.
Our supply-and-fit service includes measuring the opening, selecting the closest suitable option, carrying out permitted preparation and hanging the door into the existing frame. We align the ironmongery, aim for balanced clearances and identify frame repairs or non-standard work that could affect the finished result.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 1930s four-panel door solid oak?
It has a solid engineered core with oak surfaces and lippings. This gives it substantial construction and real oak character without being one piece of solid timber throughout.
Does the unfinished oak door need sealing?
Yes. Following permitted preparation, every required face and edge should be protected with a compatible oil, varnish or stain according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Can this door be made to measure?
A made-to-measure option is available to enquire about. We confirm dimensions, specification, lead time and price before ordering.
Can it be fitted as a bi-fold door?
A bi-fold option can be requested, subject to the opening and appropriate hardware. We assess the complete installation rather than treating it as a standard hinged door.
Does the displayed price include fitting and handles?
The base product price includes professional fitting. Suitable standard handles and essential fitting hardware are included with qualifying fitted jobs; bespoke and bi-fold requirements are priced separately.
