Who orders trade aluminium entrance doors?
Mostly shopfitters, builders and main contractors, property maintenance companies and architects and specifiers. Typical uses include office and commercial entrances; residential contemporary front doors; communal entrances to flats.
Commercial entrance doors are often specified around access and escape. Give us the clear opening width and any escape or access requirements and we confirm the hardware on the quote.
Door closers, panic hardware and electric strikes affect how the frame is prepared, so they need to be decided before manufacture.
For communal entrances to flats, access control is usually supplied and wired by a separate contractor. We can prepare the frame for an electric strike if you tell us the model.
Residential aluminium front doors can be single colour or dual colour, with flush or rebated leaves depending on the system.
How should you measure?
For commercial entrances, give us the clear opening width you need, not just the structural opening; the door and frame are sized from it.
Which building regulations apply?
Replacement external doors in England should meet a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K under Approved Document L. Glass in doors and side panels below 1500mm is a critical location under Approved Document K, so it must break safely (toughened or laminated to BS EN 12600), be robust or in small panes, or be permanently protected. Doors into new homes also need to meet Approved Document Q for security, which is usually shown with PAS 24. Replacing a door that is more than half glazed is notifiable building work, self-certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control.
Wales
In Wales, replacement external doors must meet Approved Document L (Wales), and glass in doors and side panels in critical locations must meet the safety glazing guidance in Approved Document N, usually with toughened or laminated safety glass. Replacing a door that is more than half glazed is notifiable building work, self-certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control.
Scotland
In Scotland, replacement doors in a house do not normally need a building warrant, but they must still meet the building standards in the Technical Handbooks, including energy and safety glazing. Check with the local authority for flats, listed buildings and conservation areas.
Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, replacement doors should meet the energy guidance in Technical Booklet F1, and glass in doors and side panels the glazing safety guidance in Booklet V. Check with your council's building control service before work starts.

Questions trade customers ask
Can you supply panic hardware?
Yes, panic and emergency exit hardware can be specified. The fire strategy for the building decides what is needed.

No. We supply manual aluminium doors; automatic operators are a separate specialist product.
Can the frame be prepared for access control?
Yes, for an electric strike or maglock if you give us the model when you order.
What is a clear opening width?
The usable width when the door is open, between the door leaf and the frame. Accessibility guidance sets minimums for different building types.
