Locking that gets sticky
Multi-point hooks stop meeting keeps cleanly. You feel the handle stiffen. Left long enough, you can't lock the door at all.

Service overview
The service in plain terms
We supply and install aluminium entrance doors, residential front doors, side doors and glazed rear doors as part of a wider aluminium package or as standalone replacements. Systems are Smart, Aluk or Jack Aluminium depending on aperture, spec and how the door sits with adjacent glazing.
The right client is anyone building or renovating for modern architectural style, or replacing a tired timber or uPVC door on a contemporary property. Aluminium's structural strength lets us span wider entrance apertures that uPVC can't reach without sagging.
You need a proper installer because aluminium door frames must be dead level, hinges must be shimmed correctly, and the powder-coated finish must be protected throughout. A door that drops half a millimetre stops locking cleanly — the fix is expensive.
The cost of leaving it
What poor aluminium door installs look like six months in
Aluminium is unforgiving. The signs of a bad fit are subtle at first.
Draughts at the threshold
Threshold not correctly bedded means water runs under the frame in heavy rain and cold air tracks through year-round.
Visible powder-coat damage
Chips and scratches from careless install can't be fully invisibly repaired — only replaced.
Sagging over time
Heavy aluminium doors need correctly rated hinges and proper packing. Skimp on either and the door drops within months.

In detail
Systems, styles and hardware
Aluminium doors are specified — not chosen off a shelf. Every project starts with system, colour, hardware and threshold detail.
Door types
Entrance / front doors, single residential doors, French door pairs, fully glazed rear doors, and side doors integrated with adjacent aluminium windows.
Systems
Smart Systems (Alitherm, Visofold, Designer), Aluk (residential and commercial door suites), and Jack Aluminium — the right suite for the aperture and use.
Finishes
Any RAL colour, powder-coated inside and out. Anthracite grey, jet black and matt white are the most requested; dual-colour is common on modern extensions.
Glazing
Argon-filled Low-E double glazing as standard, obscure privacy patterns on side entrances, toughened where Building Regs require it, acoustic laminate on busy roads.
Hardware
Chrome, brushed nickel, black and gold hardware. Multi-point locking, hook-lock keeps, anti-snap cylinders. Handle styles chosen at survey.
Commercial applications
For shopfronts, offices and access-controlled commercial doors we specify heavier commercial suites — talk to us early about swipe access, closers and DDA thresholds.
Frequently asked
Everything homeowners ask before booking.
How long does an aluminium door installation take?
Most single door replacements are same-day. Full entrance sets with side panels or glazed screens can take a full day or two.
Are aluminium doors secure?
Yes — multi-point locking, anti-snap cylinders and PAS 24-rated systems available. Flag security as a priority at survey and we'll specify accordingly.
Can I get any colour?
Any RAL colour, inside and out. Dual-colour available where you want a different interior finish.
How much do aluminium doors cost?
There isn't an honest 'from' figure — cost depends on size, system, colour and hardware. Fixed itemised quote after a free survey.
Do you fit commercial aluminium doors?
Yes — including shopfronts and access-controlled entrances.
How long is the guarantee?
10 years on the frame and powder-coat finish, 5 years on the sealed glass units, IBG-backed.
What's the lead time?
4–6 weeks from receipt of your 50% deposit.
Do you match to existing aluminium bi-folds or windows?
Yes — matching system, profile and RAL colour is one of the main reasons clients specify aluminium.
Where do you install?
Newport, Blackwood, Caerphilly, Cwmbran, Ebbw Vale, Pontypool, Tredegar and the wider Gwent area.

Aluminium
Aluminium Bi-folds
A bi-fold door install is a substantial structural fit. We survey the aperture (including any structural opening work required), specify the correct system for the width and traffic loading, manufacture the door set to millimetre-accurate dimensions, and install it with the precision it needs to slide sweet and lock true.

Aluminium Windows
Aluminium windows are the specification behind almost every architect-led refurbishment and modern rear extension we work on. Thermally broken profiles combine slim frames, huge glass area, exceptional structural strength and any colour you want — a combination uPVC and timber simply can't match.

Composite Doors
A composite door is a solid, layered door — a GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) or timber-faced skin bonded to a high-density insulated core, with a reinforced structural frame. The result is a door that reads and feels far more substantial than uPVC and requires none of the maintenance of timber.
