How and where to use guide
LPD White DX 30S Style 1981 x 686 x 35mm (27")
Typical applications and installation
This internal door is designed for use within residential properties where a period-style aesthetic is desired. The 1930s panel design makes it particularly suitable for period properties, character homes, or contemporary interiors seeking a traditional look. The door is supplied at 1981 x 686mm, which fits standard UK internal door frames. Before installation, check your frame opening dimensions carefully. The door can be trimmed on site if your opening is slightly smaller, but this should only be done by removing material from the edges—never reduce the door below its stated dimensions significantly, as this will compromise the structural integrity of the solid core.
- Suitable for bedrooms, living areas, hallways and other internal spaces
- Fits standard 27-inch (686mm) wide frame openings
- Can be trimmed to fit non-standard openings—use a fine-toothed saw and sand edges after cutting
- Requires hanging on three hinges for stability and smooth operation
- Install using appropriate frame fixings and ensure the frame is square and level before hanging
Finishing and decoration
The door arrives primed in white, meaning the base coat is already applied and the surface is prepared for your final decoration. This priming protects the solid core and provides a stable base for paint adhesion. Before applying your top coat, inspect the primed surface for any dust, debris or damage sustained during delivery and storage. Light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper (180–220 grit) will improve paint adhesion and create a smooth finish. Apply at least two coats of quality interior paint, allowing proper drying time between coats as per the paint manufacturer's instructions. Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting.

Maintenance and care
The solid engineered core provides excellent durability for internal use, but the door should be maintained like any internal timber door. Keep the painted surface clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture exposure, as this can cause the door to swell or warp. Check hinges periodically and tighten any loose screws to maintain smooth operation. In high-traffic areas or homes with children and pets, the painted finish may show wear over time; touch up scuffs and marks with matching paint to maintain appearance and protect the underlying primed surface.
- Wipe clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth
- Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct water contact
- Check and tighten hinge screws periodically
- Touch up paint damage promptly to prevent moisture ingress
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the painted surface
