Is every composite door the same?
No, composite doors can vary in structure. If you opted for a standard composite door, your new door will have a depth of 44mm and be filled with foam. Our lightweight standard composite doors will have a GRP colour skin, which is commonly referred to as fibreglass.
If you are looking for a door that’s even stronger, our Solid Core composite doors are a lot thicker. With a depth of 48mm, it has been made from multiple laminated layers of timber. Solid Core composite doors have a UPVC skin, and it’s simple to colour-match them to the door frame.
With the difference in structures and styles of our composite doors, there is some variation in price. Contact us to find out more.
Can I choose a different colour on the inside and outside of my new door?
Yes, this is a common option for most door styles, including replacement doors in Yorkshire. For advice on what’s possible for your chosen door, talk to an Orion advisor. Customers who prefer to make a statement with the external colour often want a more neutral colour on the inside. Why not choose a bold red colour for the external and a subtle cream for the internal?

How many keys will come with my new door?
We supply three keys as standard, but you may request more. You can let the Orion team know when you place your order but you’ll also be able to get more keys cut in the future.
Can the same key be used for both doors? (Suited)
Yes, we can give you a suited key if desired. Just let your advisor know when you confirm the details of your new door.
What is Secured by Design?
Secured by Design is a security initiative supported by the police. It was set up to upgrade the security of buildings and everything in their vicinity. The goal was to ensure there were safe places for their inhabitants to live in.
Secured by Design has a product-based accreditation scheme, which is the accepted standard for all products that are able to deter crime, and this includes domestic windows and doors and their crucial components, like hinges and locks.
Orion’s sister manufacturing company, Conservatory Outlet, is a member of Secured by Design, so the majority of our products meet and exceed the standard set by SBD. If you want to talk about the security of our products, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Can you explain what a 3-star rated door barrel is?
A 3-star door cylinder is the highest rated cylinder on the market and multiple tests will have been carried out to ensure a high level of security. Orion’s door cylinders also feature snap-secure technology and a lockdown mode, as an additional layer of security. You can be confident the barrel won’t be broken or even slightly damaged.
Is it possible to completely fold back a French door?
If your French doors have an egress hinge, you will be able to, giving you a full view of your garden or patio.
I can’t decide between sliding patio doors and bi-folding doors. Which should I pick?
Both styles of doors look great in all homes throughout Yorkshire, and it just depends on which design you prefer. Bi-folding doors can be folded to one side full, giving you a wide walkway to the garden and patio when opened. Thanks to how slim and slender our sliding patio doors are, you can enjoy an unrestricted view when the doors are closed. If you can’t decide between the two, come down to our showroom and see the difference for yourself. An Orion advisor can also help you choose.
Is there any finance available to help me pay for my new door?
Yes, there certainly is! We can sort of a number of affordable payment options for you to choose from. This is subject to application & status. When you apply, you’ll experience a simple, straightforward application and you won’t have long to wait to find out if you’ve been approved. You can come down to our York showroom to discuss finance or we can set up an appointment to come to your home if you prefer.y.
If my finance is approved, what are the next steps?
Once you’ve been given the green light from your own finance provider, contact us straight away. If the finance was sorted by us, we will both get told at the same time, so we will contact you soon after.
Help! I’ve been refused finance. What do I do?
Don’t stress if your finance application has been rejected – this happens for lots of reasons and it could even be based on how many times you’ve moved house in the last few years. Orion is here to help and we suggest you contact another finance company. It helps if they are familiar with you.
How long should I expect to wait to be approved?
There’s a good chance you will get an instant ‘yes’ from the finance provider but it could also take time for them to give you an answer. Don’t worry if you have to wait as there are a number of reasons this could be the case.
