Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G | Dortek Living Room Door Models
Dortek Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G combines an asymmetric leaf structure with a glass detail, giving everyday practicality along with openness across a wide opening. Part of Dortek's living room door range, Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G is designed to close wide openings between a living room and a hallway or entrance, both functionally and aesthetically. Thanks to its leaf-and-a-half structure, only the smaller leaf needs to be opened for everyday use, while both leaves can be opened together when moving furniture or hosting guests, creating a wide passage. It suits projects where the living room needs to be closed off as a separate room, while still allowing a wide connection to the hallway or entrance when needed.
Construction and Material Details
The Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G model has a leaf thickness of 40mm and a MDF / 36mm door frame. The architrave measures MDF / 18mm with a standard width of 8cm. The Soft Touch Textured Polymer surface finish keeps a uniform look and tactile comfort even across the wider leaf surfaces of this model - a finish chosen specifically to hold its first-day appearance in shared spaces like the living room that guests also see.
Hinges, Lock and Hardware
Because of its double-leaf structure, the Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G model uses double the hardware of a standard room door - Häfele Concealed Hinge x6 - so that both leaves carry their weight evenly. The lock system is a Hafele Magnetic Lock supported by a Dortek Adjustable Strike Plate, keeping both leaves closing tightly over time. The concealed hinge structure keeps the seam between the two leaves looking clean when the door is closed.
Dimensions and Installation
The Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G model fits a wall gap width of 78cm - 93cm and height of 210cm - 214cm, suited to wall thicknesses of 10cm - 20cm. Measuring double-leaf doors needs a little more care than single-leaf models - see our door measurement guide for the correct method. Getting the frame perfectly plumb during installation matters especially here, so that both leaves open and close evenly.
Where Is It Used?
Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G is particularly chosen for living-room-to-hallway transitions, wide entrance halls, and projects that need to divide open-plan living spaces. To compare the criteria that matter when choosing a living room door - leaf count, glass ratio, opening direction - see our how to choose a living room door guide.
Care and Maintenance Tips
To keep the wide surface of the Leaf-and-a-Half Living Room Door 38G model clean, we recommend a soft, lightly damp cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners. Because of the double-leaf structure, checking the hinge and lock points on both leaves once a year helps keep everything working smoothly for the long term. If you notice the leaves no longer close flush with each other, this can indicate loose frame screws - get in touch with our team if that happens.
