The case for aluminium

A front door with a spine

The front door works harder than any other opening in the house: slammed daily, rained on sideways, and expected to look sharp for decades. Aluminium suits the job because the leaf is built around a rigid slab, typically 60-75mm thick with an insulated core, that will not warp, swell or stick with the seasons the way timber and some composites do. The powder-coated finish is oven-cured to a hard, UV-stable skin in any RAL colour, so an anthracite or deep green door still looks freshly painted in year fifteen.

Because our doors are fabricated to measure by our sister company Prime Fabrication, factory direct, no middleman, we are not trimming a stock slab to fit a wonky Victorian opening. The frame is made to your bricks, which is exactly what a period London terrace needs and what an off-the-shelf door set never quite delivers.

Contemporary front doors

Three ways to make an entrance

Every format below is drawn around your opening at the free survey, with side screens, fanlights and level thresholds designed into the same frame rather than bolted on.

Flush contemporary

A clean modern slab with a full-height pull bar or discreet lever. The default contemporary front door for renovated terraces and new builds.

Glazed & side screens

Vision panels and full-height glazed side screens in obscure or clear laminated glass, bringing daylight into narrow hallways.

Pivot doors

Wide, heavy leaves turning on floor and head pivots instead of hinges. From 1.2m wide upwards, the full statement entrance.

Installation

Fitted in a day, certified where it counts

An entrance set is usually installed in a single day: old door out in the morning, new frame plumbed and packed to the masonry, leaf hung and adjusted so the multi-point lock throws with two fingers, then sealed inside and out. Glazed door sets are registered with FENSA so the Building Regulations paperwork reaches you automatically, and every installation carries our workmanship guarantee alongside the manufacturer hardware warranties.

Fabrication takes around 2-3 weeks from survey. If your project pairs a new front door with rear glazing, we can run it alongside aluminium bifold doors or sliding patio doors in the same order and the same RAL colour, one survey and one fitting team for the whole house.

Questions

Entrance doors, answered

Why choose an aluminium front door over composite or timber?
Rigidity and finish. An aluminium entrance door is built around a stiff slab that will not warp, swell or stick with the seasons, unlike timber and some composites, and its powder-coated skin holds a crisp colour for decades without repainting. It also carries oversized and pivot formats that other materials cannot manage.
What is a pivot door and does my hallway suit one?
A pivot door turns on discreet pivots set into the threshold and head rather than side hinges, so very wide, very heavy leaves, 1.2 to 1.5 metres and more, open with one hand. You need a generous structural opening and a level threshold detail; we confirm both at the free survey before you commit.
How secure are aluminium entrance doors?
Very. Standard specification is a multi-point lock with hook bolts, a 3-star euro cylinder, and internally glazed laminated or toughened glass in any vision panels. PAS 24 tested door sets are available where insurers or new-build regulations require them, and smart locks or keypads can be fitted at fabrication.
Can I have glass in or beside my front door?
Yes. Vision panels, full-height glazed side screens and overhead fanlights are all made as part of the same frame, glazed with obscure, tinted or clear laminated units. Side screens are the usual way to brighten a dark Victorian hallway without weakening security.
How long does an entrance door installation take?
Fitting a made-to-measure entrance set into an existing opening takes most of a day, including sealing, adjustment and demonstrating the locking. Fabrication runs around 2-3 weeks from survey at our sister factory Prime Fabrication. Where the door set includes glazing, the installation is FENSA certified.
