Making a Grand Entrance with Double Front Doors
There are various occasions and events during which special visitors and guests of honour make a grand entrance, an arrival that puts the person in the spotlight. You too can present your visitors with a warm welcome and a grand entrance – through a set of Door City’s grand double front doors, installed at the main entry point of your own home.
Grand Entrances
“Grand” is not to be taken lightly. The concept may even be imposing. One thinks of the grand entry of a bridal couple at their reception venue, the arrival on stage of an award winner, or Verdi’s Grand March from his evergreen opera, Aida, a glorious triumphal entrance if ever there was one.
Traditionally, one or more elephants appeared on stage at the start of the Grand March, although not through double front doors. It’s possible that way back, the onstage set included a replica ancient Roman archway that could accommodate the grand entry of a sizeable trained elephant.
Double Front Doors Designed for People
However, our Door City double front doors are designed to admit people. Depending on the type of double doors, our main entrance solutions also admit natural light, whilst combining the beauty of the door designers’ art with enhanced security features, notable an array of door handles, locking systems and associated hardware.
Security Enhancing Hardware
Once you’ve selected your preferred style, which complements the architectural style of your home, our experienced consultants at our three outlets – in Gold Coast Burleigh, Sunshine Coast, Kunda Park and Brisbane itself, Virginia – will guide you through the most suitable, security-enhancing hardware solution. The addition of our IntrudaGuard security screens further enhances the security of our front door options.
Grand Double Door Options
Almost any set of two side-by-side doors are known as “double doors”. In a double front door application, a professional door installer ensures that both doors are straight and level when installed. To ensure that there’s no ingress of rain or windy draughts, the edges of double front doors are “sealed” with flexible weather strips.
Evolution of Double French Doors
As their name suggests, French doors were invented in France. These products evolved from their role as windows that typically featured small glass panes, set into a solid timber framework. In time, the panes were extended down to floor level to let more light and fresh air into the building. When installed together, a pair of French double doors make the most of natural light and ventilation.
More Double Front Door Variations
Nowadays, Door City’s French double front door designs offer even more variety. Several of our design options carry distinctly different names, despite essentially being modelled on the traditional French door.
Nevertheless, customers should note that Door City can customise or create double front doors by combining almost any matching pair of our grand designs. Our Gallery web page also features a number of exciting double front door ideas to inspire you.

Whilst one may make repeated grand entrances, one only has one opportunity to make a grand first impression when extending a welcome to guests.
