Crittall Doors living room

Authentic steel, specialist installation

As a Crittall Specialist Partner, Lightfoot supplies and installs genuine Crittall external doors—crafted in Britain and backed by generations of steel expertise. Our team supports homeowners, architects and contractors nationwide, including the Channel Islands, coordinating surveys, specifications and installation for a seamless result.

Why Choose Crittall External Steel Doors?

Only Crittall delivers the distinctive, ultra-slim steel proportions and tactile rigidity that imitators try to emulate. Crittall external doors bring authentic Art-Deco and industrial character with real-steel longevity—ideal for high-traffic thresholds, extensions and sympathetic renovations where architectural integrity matters. As the original steel window and door manufacturer, Crittall’s heritage underpins today’s performance.

Versatile Design Options

Our external doors come in a multitude of different styles, including classic designs and industrial looks, allowing you to create the perfect entryway that complements your property’s aesthetic.

Superior Security Features

Our external doors can be equipped with multipoint locking systems and high-quality Crittall hardware options, ensuring your home remains secure without compromising on style.

Exceptional Thermal Efficiency

Designed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, our external doors effectively prevent heat loss with options for double glazing, making them an ideal choice for year-round comfort.

Features and Benefits of Crittall External Doors

Crittall external steel doors are engineered to offer a combination of durability and aesthetics, making them suitable for heritage buildings, new developments, and everything in between. Benefit from timeless designs and modern technology.

  • Robust construction for long-lasting performance
  • Various glazing options for optimised light and style
  • Low maintenance finishes for effortless upkeep

Technical excellence you can specify

Choose systems engineered for modern standards, including Corporate W20 TE® thermally enhanced doors, proven weather protection and low-maintenance hot-dip galvanised, powder-coated finishes.

Bespoke design & glazing choices

Specify single, double or French doors with side panels or overlights, and tailor bar layouts to suit heritage steel or industrial style aesthetics.

Finish in classic black or any RAL/BS colour; for coastal sites, Crittall’s marine-grade polyester powder coating over galvanised steel provides robust protection. Glazing can be tuned for privacy and performance—solar-control, acoustic, reeded or frosted—to match site and brief.

Made-to-measure & professionally installed

From the first survey and drawings to final sign-off, Lightfoot manages the process end-to-end. Our trained installers deliver precision fits and dependable operation across the UK (nationwide) and the Channel Islands. Book an expert consultation to discuss specifications, logistics and programme.

Steel vs “steel-look”: the critical difference

Aluminium heritage systems echo the grid pattern, but they can’t replicate the feel, proportions or lifespan of real steel. Crittall external doors offer superior structural stability, slimmer genuine-steel sightlines and proven durability—frequently specified on conservation-led refurbishments and premium new builds where authenticity and performance both matter.
