Trusted by housing associations, local authorities, and care providers across the UK. ManMar manufactures robust, beautiful Sapele and Iroko hardwood security doors for social housing, care homes, and vulnerable communities.
Each door is engineered for security, longevity, and performance — because the people using them deserve the very best.
Our flagship solution for social housing blocks and apartment communal entrances. Built from heavy-duty Sapele or Iroko hardwood, these doors are engineered for constant use without compromising on appearance.
Fitted with 2 × 500kg holding force magnetic locks, they deliver exceptional security and are fully compatible with controlled access systems — ensuring safe, reliable entry for residents and visitors alike.
Thoughtfully designed to prioritise comfort, dignity, and accessibility, these doors help create environments that feel welcoming and familiar.
Wider clear openings allow for easier movement, while ergonomic D-handles and carefully considered glazing options bring in natural light and openness. Every detail supports independence and wellbeing — helping residents feel at home, not institutionalised.
Purpose-built for larger spaces such as plant rooms, bin stores, and electrical cupboards, our double leaf doors provide robust protection across a 1200mm clear opening.
Combining strength with smooth operation, each door is fitted with an integrated door selector, ensuring the correct closing sequence every time — delivering reliability in high-demand environments.
Designed to provide immediate, intuitive escape in emergency situations, our emergency exit doors combine life safety with robust security.
Constructed from durable Sapele or Iroko hardwood, these doors are fitted with high-performance panic bars for fast, effortless egress when it matters most. Fully compliant with emergency exit requirements and compatible with controlled access systems, they ensure buildings remain both secure and safe at all times.
Real installations by our team — every door surveyed, manufactured and fitted by ManMar.
We don't just supply doors — we help you specify the right solution for your exact environment. Our team works closely with you to review project requirements and recommend the correct door type, size, glazing, and hardware — ensuring every installation is truly fit for purpose from day one.
Every door is crafted from premium FSC-certified Sapele or Iroko hardwood — renowned for strength, durability, and natural resilience. These are timbers built to perform in demanding communal environments, offering a rich, warm finish that engineered or composite alternatives simply can't replicate.
Engineered for protection, our doors are independently tested to recognised enhanced security standards. Reinforced hardwood construction, combined with high-performance locking systems, delivers robust resistance against forced entry.
Accessibility is built in — not added on. With DDA-compliant hardware, generous clear openings, and low thresholds as standard, every detail is designed to support safe, comfortable use for all residents.
Every ManMar door is backed by a comprehensive 10-year manufacturer's warranty — reflecting our confidence in the quality, durability, and long-term performance of every product we deliver.
We work with housing associations, local authorities, care providers, and contractors nationwide. Wherever your project is based, we ensure reliable supply and delivery — on time, every time.
Proudly manufactured in the UK, with complete end-to-end support. From technical guidance and site surveys to installation and ongoing aftercare, our team is with you at every stage. We also maintain full stock of replacement parts to support long-term performance.

We work in close partnership with housing associations, local authorities, care providers, and contractors, providing guidance at every stage to ensure each installation is right first time.
Our team understands the realities of communal environments — the constant use, the need for intuitive accessibility, and the responsibility to protect vulnerable residents.
