A question that we were recently asked was “What is cockbeading on kitchen doors and which of your doors is it available on?” Well read on to fully understand what it is, what it looks like and where it’s available.
Cockbeading appearance
Well, cockbeading is the thin beaded part (beveled lip) on the inside edge of the frame on the Helmsley inframe doors and drawers. Cockbeading gives the doors a very traditional look and feel and the beading adds additional protection to the edges. The appearance of the cockbeading is visible from the front of the frame, in which the doors sits.
Which doors have cockbeading?
As mentioned above, cockbeading is only available on our Helmsley inframe kitchen doors, Harewood is a little different and has a square edge to the frame.
Our Helmsley inframe kitchen display
This is our latest Helmsley inframe kitchen display in our showroom, which shows the cockbeading around the doors and the effect it gives.
You can see all our inframe kitchen styles on our main website.

Is it possible to buy individual lengths of the Helmsley frame moulding? Or just the frames cut to size?
I bought an open wall unit to construct a plate rack but it didn’t come with any frame so looks out of place installed between framed wall units. I have the same issue with my wine rack which didn’t come with a frame. Thanks
Hi, we don’t sell frames separately unfortunately but we do sell open units in the inframe style here. If you need any further assistance on this the our sales team may be able to help on 01977 608 418.
can the helmsley be done without the cockbeading? Also the thinner drawers don’t have the shaker framing but the pan drawers do. is it possible to have the pan drawers without the shaker detail to match?
We don’t offer bespoke doors, so we would not be able to offer these options. The Harewood door doesn’t come with the cockbeading. The framing on the doors also cannot be changed.
