Add period character while retaining privacy with the White Primed 1930s DX obscure-glass internal door. Its classic one-over-three layout places a single obscure glazed pane above three understated panels, helping daylight reach hallways, landings and adjoining rooms without providing the open view of clear glass.
Grafton Carpentry supplies and professionally fits this Liberty Doors design throughout Leicester and locations within roughly one hour of the city. The displayed price includes professional fitting rather than being a door-only price. Suitable standard handles and essential fitting hardware are included with qualifying fitted jobs.
Classic 1930s DX internal-door design
The balanced three-panel arrangement is closely associated with 1930s interiors and works particularly well in period houses, renovations and homes with simple traditional detailing. The smooth white surface can also sit comfortably in a modern scheme, allowing the glazing and proportions to provide character without making the room feel overly decorative.
The door has a solid engineered timber core with softwood lippings and arrives with a double white primer coat. Primed means it is prepared for decoration, not fully finished. After permitted preparation and fitting, it requires an appropriate final paint system in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Obscure glazing for borrowed light and privacy
A single 4mm obscure glazed pane allows useful light to pass between rooms while diffusing the view. This makes the door a practical option for hallways, utility rooms, home offices and other areas where a solid door would make the space darker but clear glazing would feel too exposed.
The glass is intended for internal use and incorporates safety characteristics appropriate to the product specification. Obscure glass improves visual privacy, but it does not make a room soundproof or conceal strong silhouettes in every lighting condition. We recommend considering how the rooms are used and which side receives the strongest light.
What does white primed mean?
The factory primer provides a consistent base for your chosen final colour. Many customers finish the door in white, but a compatible paint can also be selected to coordinate with walls, skirting boards or architraves. The final coating should be applied to all required surfaces and any adjusted areas following the paint and door manufacturers’ guidance.
A primed door differs from a pre-finished door: it still needs its decorative topcoat. Planning this before installation helps avoid exposed edges and gives a neater final appearance. Our fitting quotation covers the door supply and carpentry installation; decorating should only be assumed included where it is specifically stated.
Why professional fitting matters
Even a standard-size internal door must be matched to the individual opening. Existing frames can be out of square, floor levels affect the bottom clearance and the permitted trimming allowance must not be exceeded. Accurate hinge recesses, latch alignment and balanced gaps are particularly important around a glazed door.
Our supply-and-fit service includes checking the opening, confirming the closest appropriate available size, completing permitted preparation and hanging the door into the existing frame. We position the ironmongery carefully and identify frame repairs or unusual work that could affect the finished result and quotation.
White 1930s glazed-door sizes and fitted price
Several common imperial and metric sizes may be available, subject to current supplier stock. The correct option depends on your opening and the manufacturer’s adjustment guidance. The listed price covers the standard supply-and-fit arrangement. Your tailored quotation will identify any additional cost for frame repairs, non-standard preparation or upgraded hardware.
Grafton Carpentry currently focuses on supplying and fitting doors as one complete service. A wider supply-only option is planned but is not fully available at present. Compare alternatives in our glazed internal door range or check the areas we cover.

What is inside the door?
The door uses a solid engineered timber core with softwood lippings, providing a substantial construction suitable for internal use.
Can the door be trimmed to fit?
Only within the manufacturer’s stated allowances. We measure the opening, select the closest suitable size and carry out only permitted adjustments.
