Exterior/patio doors

I need to order two doors for my new patio (one exterior door and one bifold door).

I went to places like Wickes and B&Q yesterday but the number of exterior doors that they have on display is close to none.

Is there any reliable website that I could buy from?

    There are loads of websites for external doors! But seeing as they will need to be fitted as well, why not go with a local recommendation?

    So much to read, so little time.

    If you are replacing the frames as well, the work should be signed off by Building Control - Getting the doors/frames supplied & fitted by an approved installer has the advantage that they deal with the certification and will provide a guarantee. Also, if they screw up on measurements, it is their fault and will have to reorder at no cost to you.
    Depending on the age of the property, a lintel may need to be fitted to support the outer leaf of brickwork - An experienced fitter will be aware of the issue and be able to advise accordingly.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
