Split Dutch-Style Timber Entry Doors

An oak-faced entry door with independently hinged upper and lower leaves lets the glazed top section open while the lower section stays latched. Compare three leaf and frame widths, the 1000/1029 mm split, laminated upper glazing and a complete connecting-latch and lockset package.

Oak-Faced Dutch Door with Two Independent Sections

Independently Hinged Upper and Lower Leaves

The door divides into a 1000 mm lower section and a 1029 mm upper section, with a 3 mm horizontal meeting joint. The lower leaf can remain latched while the glazed upper section opens on its own hinge set.

Oak-Faced Timber and a Glazed Upper Panel

The 45 mm stiles and rails are engineered timber with oak faces. An 18 mm oak-veneered plywood infill closes the lower leaf, and the upper panel takes an 8.76 mm laminated-glass build.

Connecting Latch and Lower Lockset

A connecting latch joins the two sections for full-height operation. The lower leaf carries the lever and lockset; separate upper and lower hinge sets connect to the matching timber frame. Seals and the sill form part of the opening schedule.

Three Leaf Widths for the Same Split-Door Layout

Three order configurations with the dimensions and supplied components shown individually.

915 mm Leaf and 1000 mm Frame

The main width combines a 915 mm door leaf with a 1000 mm outer-frame envelope. The leaf remains 2032 mm high and 45 mm thick, with the same 1000/3/1029 mm split geometry.

865 mm Leaf and 950 mm Frame

The middle width reduces both the door and frame by 50 mm. Upper and lower leaf widths remain aligned, while the hardware and glazed-infill dimensions follow the narrower frame.

815 mm Leaf and 900 mm Frame

The narrow format uses an 815 mm leaf within a 900 mm outer frame. Its 2090 mm frame height and 2032 mm leaf height retain the same vertical coordination as the two wider formats.

Split-Line Hardware, Threshold and Opening Detail

Locate Two Hinge Sets and the Connecting Latch

The door schedule identifies hinge hand, upper-section swing and full-door swing together. The connecting latch and lower lockset are placed so the two sections can operate independently or as one door.

Coordinate the Frame and Threshold

Use the outer-frame envelope for opening coordination, then carry the frame fixing, perimeter joint, sill level and adjacent wall finish on the installation detail. Clear passage is calculated from the final hinge and stop arrangement.

Retain the Oak and Glazing References

The order includes an oak grain/finish reference, lower-infill construction and upper laminated-glass requirement. Glazing beads, edge support, seals and exposed timber edges follow the same door-set drawing.

Dutch Timber Entry Door Questions

How do the two door sections operate?

The upper and lower sections each have their own hinges. The upper glass leaf can open while the lower leaf stays latched. Closing the connecting latch joins both sections for full-height operation.

Where is the horizontal split?

The lower section is 1000 mm high, followed by a 3 mm meeting joint and a 1029 mm upper section. Together they make the 2032 mm door height.

Which widths are available in this configuration?

The three leaf widths are 915, 865 and 815 mm. Their matching outer-frame widths are 1000, 950 and 900 mm respectively; all frames use the 2090 mm height basis.

What materials form the door?

The 45 mm engineered-timber members have oak faces. The lower infill is 18 mm oak-veneered plywood, and the upper panel uses the 8.76 mm laminated glass shown in the door schedule.

What belongs in the hardware package?

Include both hinge sets, the connecting latch, the lower lever/lockset, keying and the frame seals and sill. The opening schedule also locates stops and any additional closer.

What dimensions are used for installation?

The outer-frame width and 2090 mm height establish the coordination envelope. The final opening detail sets the perimeter joint, anchors, threshold level, hinge clearances and usable passage for the chosen door set.
