    Where can I buy solid 4 panel Victorian doors where the panels are flat with beading around the perimeter?

    I cannot find any anywhere new...

    If you want traditionally built panelled doors you’ll most likely have to get them made to order. There are the pressed “mdf” poor imitations from the likes of Howdens. But your best bet is to visit the reclamation yards, that works well if you’re putting in new door linings as old doors seem to come in a huge range of sizes , either having been made as such or modified over the years.

    When we moved in to our place I replaced all the doors with pine 4 panel doors. They came from one of the big sheds.

    I have checked on Homebase just now and they list 4 panel knotty pine doors. If they are the same as ours they are fairly substantial and have done many years service here.

    Hope this helps

    Just had a look, they're the ones I can find everywhere. The style I'm after is like the below:

    But then with a beading inside each rectangle also.

    So the panel is flat if that makes sense?

    If you are going to paint the doors as the finish (might be a shame for the doors you quote) then you can always retrofit the required beading. Matching the timber type if you varnish or oil as the finish could be difficult.

    Yes they'll be painted that's why I'm not too bothered AC boy oak or similar finish.

    They need to be 6'6 X 2'3 and a 6'6 X 2'6

    Can't seem to find any anywhere that are either in that size or in stock
  7.  
    The oak doors are offered in a size 1981 x 686 and 1981 x 762 which should be close enough to fit your sizes and the panels look flat so it should be possible to retrofit beading. The price seems good as well. Almost a shame to paint them.

    What does "flat" panels mean?
    Aren't wooden panels always flat, unless you are talking about elaborately carved linenfold panelling or old shop doorways set on the corner of a building where the entire door is curved?

    No they can be "flat" but with a raised and fielded panel. In my previous house(Victorian) I had doors with raised and fielded panels downstairs but the attic rooms (previously servant quarters I guess) were plain flat panels and also the doors were thinner.

    Most of mine have either a 40+mm chamfer or a routed edge - not flat.

    Thanks.
    I've only ever encountered panels that were perfectly flat, with mitred mouldings like picture framing fixed in the edges.
    I have noticed that woodworm seems mainly to prefer the moulding rather than the solid door itself or the panels, which makes it easy to replace the crumbling bits.

    Ended up getting some knotty pine 4 panels from b&q. It's only to replace 2. Not quite what I wanted but for £50 each I can none on with my life 😂
