Auckland Dakar Ash Kitchen Doors
Another door inspired by the Shaker, but a truly unique design, the Auckland has a shallow recessed centre panel, a grooved frame and profiled edges. The Auckland door is detailed without looking cluttered, so it’s the perfect choice for a kitchen that balances traditional style with modern simplicity. Emphasise that contemporary look by choosing sleek bar or bow handles, or add a splash of rustic style with shell handles.
Dakar Ash is a mid-toned neutral, mostly grey with warm undertones. It’s a gentle, sophisticated shade that won’t overpower a small room and will look stunning in a larger space. The woodgrain detail adds a hint of traditional style to your doors, giving you a kitchen that strikes the perfect balance between modern simplicity and timeless style. If your kitchen doesn’t get a lot of natural light, keep surrounding surfaces light and bright – cool whites and pale greys will work beautifully. Alternatively, use similar warm neutrals for a calming, tonal look.
Colours
We do our best to produce accurate images but there may be some slight variation between how the colour appears on your screen and how it looks on the door. We always recommend ordering free colour swatches or purchasing a sample door so you can see exactly what your colour choice will look like.

Drilling for hinges and handles
All doors come undrilled as standard. However, we offer a hinge hole drilling service at a modest cost.
Please let us know your hinge hole measurements and we will drill them accordingly. Measure from the top or bottom of the door to the centre of the hinge hole. If you need any guidance on measuring for hinges, watch our DIY help videos or give us a call.
You can have your hinge holes drilled from 60mm from the bottom and top edge of the door.
We are unable to drill for handles.
Matching door backs
The term 'matching back' means that the door will have a similar coloured melamine back, rather than a vinyl back and as such the colour and texture may be different from the front of the door. In particular textured and high gloss colour doors will be supplied with a matt smooth finish back.
All doors are supplied with matching finish backs with the following exceptions:
Light Concrete | Dove Grey back |
Dark Concrete | Grey back |
Horizontal grain
Horizontal grain is available in all woodgrain colour options up to 1245mm high.
Standard wood grain colours are available up to 1245mm high.
The same applied to wine rack fronts, modern canopies, plain canopies, T&G canopies. PVC panels and are made as specified.
High gloss colours
High gloss finishes are manufactured using a heavier gauge vinyl and as such definition can be less sharp on items which have more detailed designs.
Please refer to our Care and Maintenance guide for information on how to protect and care for your doors.

"Sent off for a sample to check colour match. The sample matched our kitchen so we ordered three doors to replace the damaged ones in our kitchen . Very easy really just waiting for delivery . The only slight downside is that I paid £475 for the doors then" David Fleming
