Front doors in aluminium
An aluminium front door is an entrance door with an aluminium frame and leaf, locked at several points. It holds its shape in dark colours on sunny walls and takes larger leaves than uPVC or composite.
Side and utility doors
Single-leaf doors for side alleys, garages and utility rooms, with the same security level as the front door.

Multipoint lock, anti-snap cylinder and laminated glass in the leaf, set at survey, with PAS24 tested options available.

04Asked before every survey
The questions that matter.
What keeps an aluminium front door secure?
The multipoint lock. It spreads the handle's turn to 3 to 7 points: hooks resist levering, bolts resist ramming, rollers pull the leaf onto its seals. On a lift-lever lock, lift the handle before turning the key, or one point takes all the load.
Aluminium or composite front door, which is better?
Aluminium for a dark colour, a slim modern leaf or a large door; composite for a traditional panelled look. A dark composite door on a sunny wall can expand, bow and close badly in summer. We fit both; compare them in our Ruislip showroom.
Do I have to cut a letterplate into the door?
No, and many people skip it. A letterplate is a gap for heat and noise, and lets a thief fish for keys or the inside handle. If you want one, choose a security letterplate with an internal deflector, or a wall-mounted box by the gate.
What do Building Regulations say about glass in a front door?
Glass low in the door must be safety glass. Any pane below 1500 mm is a critical location under Approved Document K, so it must be toughened or laminated, not ordinary float. Laminated glass also stops someone breaking a small hole to reach the handle.
