Frequently Asked Questions
What is a light duty hardboard hollow core door?
A light duty hardboard door has a hollow core — typically a honeycomb or cardboard internal structure — with hardboard skins bonded to a timber perimeter frame. It is lighter and more affordable than a solid or semi-solid door, making it well-suited to interior applications such as bedrooms, passages, and cupboards where heavy-duty performance is not required.
What does "exposed edges" (EE) mean?
Exposed edges means the raw edge of the door is visible — the hardboard skin and internal frame are not covered by a timber lipping. For a neater finish, a timber lipping can be applied on-site before hanging and painting. Most standard door frames with a rebated stop will accommodate an exposed-edge door without issue.
Can this door be painted?
Yes. The smooth hardboard face is suitable for painting with standard interior door paint. Apply a primer coat first to seal the hardboard surface, then finish with your chosen topcoat colour for a durable, even result.
What size frame does the LDHB762 require?
The LDHB762 is 762mm wide × 2032mm high × 40mm thick. It requires a door frame designed for a 762 × 2032mm door with a 40mm rebate depth. Compatible timber door frames for this size are available separately on Doors Direct.
Is this door available in other sizes?
Yes — custom sizes are available on request. The LDHB range is also available in an 813mm width. Contact Doors Direct to enquire about non-standard sizes.
Is this door suitable for a bathroom or exterior use?
No. This is a light duty interior door and is not suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms or for exterior use. Hardboard is not moisture-resistant and will swell or delaminate if exposed to sustained humidity or rain.
What is the difference between this door and the grooved hardboard door (LDHBG)?
The LDHB762 has a smooth, flat hardboard face, while the LDHBG has a horizontal groove pattern on both faces. Both are light duty hollow core doors of the same construction — the choice comes down to the aesthetic finish you prefer. The grooved version is available in 813mm width.
What is the lead time for this door?
The LDHB762 has a lead time of 7–10 business days. Nationwide delivery is available across South Africa.
