Secure Entrance Doors for Individual Flats and Apartments
Maxium Doors supplies made-to-measure entrance doors for individual flats and apartments, creating a secure and durable boundary between each home and the building’s communal corridor or shared internal area. These doors are suitable for new developments, refurbishment programmes and the replacement of existing flat entrance doors.
Each doorset can be specified around the project’s fire-safety, smoke-control, acoustic and security requirements, with appropriate glazing, locking, door closers, ironmongery, colours and finishes available. This allows housing providers, developers and property managers to achieve consistent performance and appearance across a single property or a larger residential development.
Our flat entrance doors can be supplied for individual replacements or as part of a planned programme covering multiple apartments. Maxium can support the project from initial specification and measurement through to manufacture, delivery and installation.
This page covers doors fitted to the entrance of individual homes. If you require the main shared entrance into a block of flats or apartment building, view our communal entrance doors, available with access control, entry systems and high-traffic hardware.
Fire-Rated Entrance Doors for Flats
A flat entrance door forms an important part of the building’s fire-safety strategy. Positioned between an individual home and a communal corridor or shared escape route, the complete doorset may need to resist the spread of fire and smoke for a specified period while allowing residents to leave safely when necessary.
Maxium supplies made-to-measure fire-rated entrance doors for flats and apartments, suitable for new developments, refurbishment projects and planned door-replacement programmes. Each doorset can be manufactured around the required fire, smoke, acoustic and security performance identified within the project specification or fire-risk assessment.
A fire-rated flat entrance door must be considered as a complete doorset rather than simply a fire-resistant door leaf. The frame, seals, hinges, closer, glazing, locking and other ironmongery must all be compatible with the tested or certified construction.
Our flat entrance doors can be specified with:
- Fire-resistance performance suited to the project specification
- Smoke seals and compatible perimeter sealing
- Self-closing devices selected for the doorset
- Secure locking with straightforward escape from inside the flat
- Fire-rated vision panels where permitted by the certified design
- Acoustic and security performance options
- Accessible thresholds and suitable door hardware
- Coordinated colours and finishes across multiple apartments
The correct specification will depend on the building, the position of the door and the requirements established by the project’s competent fire-safety professional. Maxium can work from door schedules, drawings and performance specifications to help identify an appropriate doorset.
For replacement programmes, we can also assess the existing openings and coordinate the manufacture of multiple flat entrance doors, helping maintain consistent performance and appearance throughout the development.

Secure Flat Front Doors
A flat front door must provide reliable protection while remaining practical and comfortable for everyday use. Positioned between the individual home and a shared corridor, it needs to combine secure locking with straightforward escape from inside the property.
Maxium supplies made-to-measure flat front doors for individual apartments, with locking, cylinders and ironmongery selected around the building’s security requirements and the certified doorset specification. Options can be coordinated across a single replacement or a larger residential development.
Security options may include:
- Multipoint locking systems and secure cylinders
- Security escutcheons and robust lever handles
- Door viewers for controlled visitor identification
- Compatible self-closing devices and door-control hardware
- Secure glazing or vision panels where permitted
- Hardware allowing straightforward escape from inside the flat
- Durable frames, hinges and compatible ironmongery
- Coordinated security specifications across multiple apartments
The locking and hardware must be compatible with the door’s required fire, smoke and acoustic performance. Maxium can work from the project specification, door schedule or existing opening details to recommend an appropriate complete doorset.
Whether replacing one damaged flat entrance door or delivering a planned programme across an apartment building, we can help balance security, resident usability and consistent appearance.

Acoustic Performance and Everyday Privacy
Flat entrance doors separate private homes from shared corridors, stairwells and other communal spaces. An appropriately specified acoustic doorset can help reduce noise passing into the apartment, giving residents greater privacy and limiting disturbance from footsteps, conversations, lifts and frequently used communal areas.
Effective sound reduction depends on the performance of the complete doorset—not simply the door leaf. The frame, perimeter seals, threshold, glazing and installation must work together to control the gaps through which sound can travel.
Acoustic flat entrance doors can be specified with:
- Acoustic performance selected to suit the project requirements
- Compatible perimeter seals and threshold details
- Solid or glazed doorset configurations
- Self-closing and locking hardware suited to the complete doorset
- Fire, smoke and security performance where required
- Coordinated designs and finishes across multiple apartments
The required acoustic rating should be established from the building design, door schedule or project specification. Maxium can work with the supplied performance requirements to manufacture an entrance doorset that balances sound reduction with fire safety, security and everyday operation.
Need acoustic entrance doors for a residential development? Send us the required performance, door quantities and available drawings, and our team can help determine the appropriate specification.
Replacement Flat Entrance Doors
Damaged, outdated or non-compliant flat entrance doors may need to be replaced to improve fire safety, security, acoustic performance and everyday operation. Maxium supplies made-to-measure replacement doorsets for individual flats and larger residential refurbishment programmes.
Existing openings can vary considerably in size and construction, particularly in older apartment buildings. Each replacement should therefore be properly surveyed and specified as a complete doorset, including the door leaf, frame, seals, threshold, closer, locking and compatible ironmongery.
Our replacement service is suitable for:
- Individual damaged or poorly functioning flat entrance doors
- Planned replacement programmes across apartment buildings
- Housing-association and local-authority properties
- Residential refurbishment and fire-safety improvement projects
- Replacing outdated doors while retaining a consistent corridor appearance
- Upgrading fire, smoke, acoustic or security performance
For multi-door projects, finishes and hardware can be coordinated throughout the development while allowing for differences in opening sizes or individual site conditions. Installation can also be planned in phases to help manage resident access and minimise disruption.
The required performance should be established from the project specification, fire-risk assessment or advice provided by the responsible fire-safety professional. Maxium can work from existing surveys, door schedules and drawings to manufacture suitable replacement doorsets.
Flat Entrance Doors for New-Build Developments
Maxium supplies made-to-measure flat and apartment entrance doors for new residential developments, including private apartment schemes, affordable housing and mixed-use buildings. Doorsets can be scheduled across multiple plots or building phases, helping developers and contractors maintain consistent performance, appearance and installation standards throughout the project.
We can work from architectural drawings, door schedules and performance specifications to coordinate the required fire, smoke, acoustic and security requirements. Door designs, finishes and ironmongery can then be standardised across the development while accommodating different opening sizes or apartment layouts.
Support for new-build projects can include:
- Review of drawings, door schedules and performance requirements
- Made-to-measure doorsets for individual flats and apartments
- Consistent fire, smoke, acoustic and security specifications
- Coordinated colours, finishes, glazing and ironmongery
- Quantity scheduling across plots, floors or building phases
- Phased manufacture, delivery and installation planning
- Supply-only or supply-and-installation options
Maxium can also supply the main communal entrance doors to the building, allowing individual apartment entrances and shared access points to be coordinated as part of the wider door package.
