    We got one from Senator doors and windows I think - palladio door, I think was the range, and I think their website lists their suppliers around the country.If you google, you'll see who does them around here.A few years ago now but would recommend both the door and installation service.

    A friend got one from Palladio doors . Based in glin in Limerick and use agents around the country.

    Theres a thread on here somewhere about them. I've seen the doors. Really well made and cheaper than global .
    Global wanted 6k for a front door. Friend got front and back for half that !

    Search "all season windows and doors" on facebook.
    Had a door put in early December on reccomedarion from friend who used them. Delighted. All in 1600

    Got a new palladio door 2 weeks ago. They start from about 1650 for door only up to about 3k for those ones with the glass at the sides.

    The doors are all the same, you really need to get someone who knows what they are at to fit it or it will look crap..have seen some covered with plastic striips at the sides to hide lazy poor finish.

    Unfortunately, my guys would be too far out for you, but do pick someone with real recommendations, not just on Facebook , as they can often remove feedback they don't like. Make sure you know someone who actually got the work carried out.

    I had about six people out to quote and found the standards varied quite considerably.

    The thread on here referred to above is s joke, I found it very unhelpful and childish.

    Got a door in McNally Joinery recently, they specialise in bespoke which was a bit of a pain, but if that's what your after they're pretty good, installers were very clean and particular about the finish

    What i did find when i was shopping around to find comparative prices was the amount of 'tyre kicking' they do to get you into the showrooms for the big sell.

    They push hard to slate the other people selling you doors saying that they are 'fake composite' doors from the middle east etc etc.

    After the company i went with the next choice would have been munster joinery but to be honest, my new house came with munster joinery and they are all full of draughts and that's why i have to change the door in the first place.
    The place i listed before, i was sceptical as they were on facebook only but they had done work in the estate and i got to look at that and they popped out to see me on a bank holiday and stuck to everything they said and i was happy with the install (a couple hours and he was obliging)

    We just got a new door installed by peak windows in swords and they were great to deal with from start to finish.

    I'm really happy with Royal Windows in Swords/Malahide.

    I had them install French doors, and while they were here they realigned (for free) the pieces of garbage I foolishly had installed by those cowboys joiners from Munster.

    Used all seasons windows and doors search "all season windows and doors" and would encourage people to avoid them at all costs.

    They have multiple claims against them and there is a waiting list with the Naas county Sheriff's office, that's how busy they are.

    They did not complete the works and the small claims court awarded in my favour. This company (fionnuala McKernan owner) ignored the sheriff's demand for payment. Apparently, they are well known for this behaviour. I'm sure others may have had a positive experience but I and many others did not.

    Attached are some photos so that people can see the unfinished work which I had to get completed at my own expense. None of the window boards downstairs were installed either - left it in a right mess. Downstairs windows would not shut tight either - This is just an FYI for people to be very careful if they are going to engage the services of these cowboys.

    Attaching another photo of the installers van which went on fire and almost exploded - all because he hooked 6 batteries up in his van unsafely - had to get my fire extinguisher to put it out - moron.

    Anyway, just wanted to warn folks as I would hate anyone to have to go through what I did.

    Would think after 5 years the op has a door installed a good while.

    came across these comments and reminded me of my terrible experience with “all season windows and doors” around 2021/2022 I got front door installed with no issues. Months later I made the awful mistake to recommend to an elderly friend. The 2 men that showed up to install the door at the time looked like they were on day release from prison. After installation we noticed all paint work on walls around door completely destroyed and covered in plaster but the worst part was they cut the wires of the entire alarm system which cost 1400 to install.whole system had to be replaced. We agreed with fionnuala (owner) that a deduction of €500 would be taken off price.she said business was doing very bad and could not afford anymore feeling sorry for her we agreed on this price. Within 24 hours of sending payment my elderly friend got a call from her partner (husband as far as I know) can only describe as an absolute maniac) screaming,shouting and cursing down the phone. Treathening to burn down the house,rip the door out and smash the windows. Being left terrified there was no option but to pay full amount. I personally would have called the Garda or taken to small claims court but my elderly friend lived on her own and was terrified. Unfortunately before getting them I never looked up reviews only to find there Facebook page and left my experience and found tonnes of terrible reviews and being taken to court by numerous customers. That’s the reason you will find no social media on them today as they have such awful reviews and cannot leave or see any reviews on their google page. To top it off 3 weeks after this the first door I got installed on my house was broken into. They guy was in through the front door within less than 5 seconds with a screwdriver. ( I was told they were very secure doors) I hope no one is unfortunate to deal with them. They should be out of business but could be running under a new name. I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy. The one good thing to come out of it is I have learned to look at reviews of a business before hand
